How Heroic

Kristen Bell is returning to TV!
The Veronica Mars cutie just signed on to star in a multi episode arc of the upcoming season of NBC’s hit Heroes.
Bell was being courted for several TV shows, including ABC’s Lost, but ended up with the peacock network. Smart move. Lost has lost momentum but Heroes is still hot.
Bell will make her Heroes debut some time in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.
“This was not easy to pull off,” said Heroes creator-exec producer Tim Kring. “But since we’re an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in (Bell’s) schedule.”
Should spice things up!
