Kristen in the May Issue of Women's Health
Filed in: Magazines
Kristin Bell is hot, hot, hot right now – as the mischievous narrator on the hit TV series, “Gossip Girl,” which made its long-awaited comeback this Monday to her hit movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” which stole the #2 spot at the box office this weekend pulling in over $17 million. Just in time, Kristin opened up to Women’s Health in the May issue which hit newsstands this week.

On being the mischievous narrator of the CW’s “Gossip Girl”:
“I channel that voice everybody’s had in their head since grade school. It’s the critical voice that pops up when you see somebody who’s wearing mom jeans, you know what I mean? It’s a defense mechanism–that’s what cattiness and gossip are. You’re worried that someone is thinking something bad about you, so you think it about them first.”
On her co-stars of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”:
“They’re a very welcoming and warm group, but definitely intimidating because they do a lot of improve. I head to be ready for anyone to throw anything at me.”
On her role as the one and only “Sarah Marshall”:
“Sarah was written in a beautiful way: She’s not just the antagonist or the victim. Typically in romantic comedies one person is demonized the other isn’t. But this is like Knocked Up; all the lines are blurred. Nobody’s really at fault and that’s how reality is. Sarah is probably 25 percent bitch, 25 percent airhead, and 50 percent real.”
On dating Dax Shepard and dealing with the paparazzi:
“It amplifies the feeling that everything I do is looked at, and it makes me hyper-aware and insecure. You’re on display when you really don’t want to be. That’s why I’ve become more reclusive. At my house with my friends, I don’t need to deal with that stuff.”
“…I really like [the video game] Mario Kart, and I have to remind myself, ‘You are in real traffic!’ It’s scary because the photographers run red lights. So by making them chase me, I could cause an accident, and nothing is worth risking that. I could complain about this all day, but everybody’s job has downfalls. Some people are in an office and their butts fall asleep in their chairs; this is just what I have to deal with.”
On her personal security and living a low-key life:
“I’m more of a homebody. I’m constantly asked: ‘Why don’t we see you out?’ But that’s not what drives me. I prefer to have people over–which I do a lot…
I’m not going to become anybody I don’t want to become. But I’ve been followed by photographers a lot lately, and it makes me insecure.”

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" Not Easy to Forget
Filed in: Movies
"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" has everything needed to make a good comedy. Produced by Judd Apatow ("40 Year Old Virgin," "Knocked Up"), and written by Jason Segel (Jason from "Knocked Up") this already has a promising start for greatness. Kristen Bell, who plays Sarah Marshall, makes her Veronica Mars transition from TV to film perfectly, which is ironically exactly what her character in the film must do.
Bell plays a crime scene investigator on a hit parody-like show of CSI but the success isn't enough for her to stay with her boyfriend (Segal) who can't quite get it together. After breaking up with him, they part ways only to inconveniently meet up in Hawaii on separate vacations. Bell has already moved on as Segal catches her with pop star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) who plays an egocentric, overly zealous singer of his band Infant Sorrow. This is the first time I have seen Brand in anything but I hope it's not the last as his performance was absolutely hilarious at times.
Jonah Hill (Seth from "Superbad") plays his normal funny self as a die hard fan of Aldous Snow, making subtle homoerotic moves as Snow and trying to pass off his band's demo CD to him (he is all five members of the band). Mila Kunis plays the rebound character for Segal making things awkward between the group of four as they find themselves sharing dinner and drinks. Kunis plays a less obnoxious Jackie ("That '70s Show") with good intentions for Segal, but her fake tan was ridiculously apparent throughout the entire film.
Like other Apatow films, the movie has an R rating that is well deserved. Language, sex, and nudity (only male) give it its patented crude humor, but don't come close to competing with Superbad's raunchiness. Some scenes don't transition well, making for some sloppy cutting in post but people are coming to see this for the comedy, not the finer aspects. Overlooking that one fault, this romantic comedy has been getting nothing but rave reviews since it debuted in theaters on Friday, easily making it the funniest movie to come out so far this year.
