There's Something You Should Know About Kristen Bell's Body

Listen, I don’t know what’s going on in that photo up there either. But, you know, sometimes, a girl’s just gotta belt on the scrappy remains of a life preserver, slip into some stripper sparkle heels and perch in a tree, okay? We’re not here to talk about that picture anyway, we’re here to talk about this Funny Or Die video. Which is a-flippin-dorable. I’m not always a big fan of the Funny Or Die people, but I am an unrepentant Kristen Bell acolyte. Here she reveals why it takes her so long to get ready every day.

This “Body Of Lies” video, while not groundbreaking comedy, shows glimmers and glints of the K. Bell we came to know and love on “Veronica Mars.” She’s been hiding out for the past few years as a RomCom wannabe (with a brief and hilarious reprieve on “Party Down”), but Bell has finally come home to roost this Winter on Showtime’s new raunchfest “House of Lies.” To be honest, I agree with Seth, the show ain’t that great. But I missed Bell’s sass mouth more than anything, and I’m so glad to see it here. Intact.

Kristen Bell is 100 times the comedic actress Zooey Deschanel is and less oppressively cute. So while I wish she were the one running off with all the TV It Girl accolades this season, I’ll take what I can get.

I can't even come up with an eloquent comment, I just fucking love her. I'm hesitant to watch the new show because a)I don't want it to flop, and b) I don't want to get attached to having her on my tv again, only to have it cancelled.

That charmed me right out of my stink pants. How am I supposed to say I hate her with any honest vitriol now? 'Oh that's tits.'

I like that kristen bell has a good sense of humor about herself and I love that Ben Schwartz exists and regularly steps in front of cameras. a while ago Dustin (I think) talked about man crushes and listed the acceptable ones, with Ron Swanson being high on the list. Jean Ralphio didn't make it. With good reason, because his interest in lady-bits is the beginning and end of his manliness. I don't have a man crush on Jean Ralphio, but I'm precariously close. And most days I'm okay with it. And every time I get close to being really truly embarrassed by it, I see a gif of Jean Ralphio humping a couch or leading a night club marching band and I realize that I don't care what everyone thinks, I would totally enjoy a day of just hanging with Jean Ralphio and drinking snake juice.

Waaaaaaait! I just read this: http://www.gq.com/entertainment/movies-and-tv/201111/parks-recreation-jean-ralphio-ben-schwartz-interview and it shows how wrong I was. Jean-Ralphio is the essential male role model.

God bless you, AngelArm45. I'm not a man, but I still have a mancrush on Jean Ralphio.

Also, I never really cared for Kristen Bell, mostly because I never watched "Veronica Mars," so my only exposure to her was her bit part on "Heroes" ('twas THE SUCK). But even I had to laugh at this Funny or Die spot.

"I have Steve Urkel on my left shoulder blade and Stefan Urquelle on my right. Representing the duality of man."

"This is a tattoo of a tattooed tween listening to the bands t.A.T.u. and Ween on the planet Tattooine. It's from the Star Wars universe."

Hilarious.

If you're interested enough, Jelinas and have the time, I will heartily recommend the first season of Veronica Mars. I don't even remember much about the second season now, except that my incredible hatred of that finale made me eternally wish that they had ended it when the endings were still good. Kind of like Heroes too, come to think of it.

I like the Veronica Mars version of Ms Bell more than the version where they attempt to tart her up for movies. She's better as the intelligent cute girl than the trying-too-hard to be sexy blonde starlet.

I'm not usually a big fan of 'K. Bell' but she is funny in 'Fanboys'

Since I don't have Showtime, the best thing about her being on House of Lies is that it will trigger a visit for her to the couch of Craig Ferguson. Other than the ill-fated trip to Paris, she's always been excellent as a guest there.

I'm another big fan of the 'Veronica Mars' Bell & wish I could pull up the vid (work computer blocks it); however, she always falls a bit short when trying to bring on the sexy. She's one of the very few females who doesn't totally rock that Princess Leia slave outfit, from the pics I've seen, and after repeatedly watching the promo for 'House of Lies' where she does that little pose in the white bra and panties, it seems like she looks more uncomfortable rather than seductive, at least to me.

But maybe I'm in the minority on this - she's still cute as hell.

Gotta second Confucius there: Bell's many appearances on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show are uniformly entertaining. I heartily recommend Youtubing them but don't blame me for the lost time...

Posted by: Barry at January 10, 2012 8:11 AM

Confucius and Barry, just thought you'd like to know that Kristen will be on the couch this Friday, the 13th.

Kristen Bell apparently poops in trees. Now that's indie cred.

Posted by: Craig at January 10, 2012 9:47 AM

Okay, I was going to be snarky for snark sake, but I thought "no, I should watch the Funny or Die clip first".

I guess I am just tired of blondes, I mean seriously... they are a dime a dozen! And besides, her eyes are just too close together and she slightly resembles a rat. But I like rats, I used to have a pet rat. They are actually really sweet and they like wine and french fries. My rat Chelsea used to sleep under the pillow next to me.

So okay, she is funny. I will take her off my "People/Actress I hate for mostly no reason at all" list. She is okay in my book.

I totally agree with you about Bell being a way better choice for "New Girl". And I love her interactions with Craig Ferguson.

Posted by: Pants at January 10, 2012 9:50 AM

Kristen Bell and Craig Ferguson are adorable together.

Posted by: MM at January 10, 2012 11:54 AM

Sigh. I'm going to spend this entire weekend rewatching "Veronica Mars," aren't I? Say what you will about Season Two, but it was one of the most intricately-plotted seasons of television. I think most people objected to the "who" and not the "how" and the "why," because the ending was a gut punch.

Posted by: Craig at January 10, 2012 12:53 PM

Ohh yes, Kristen and Craig are the best! Imma go DVR Friday's show right now

Posted by: Even Stevens at January 10, 2012 1:28 PM

I am interrupting my total ennui-larded feelings about KBell (no I never watched VMars, just Sarah Marshall about 8 times)to tell MRod the RATS as PETS RULE! Mine loved wine as well, and ate spaghetti and jumped up onto our bed to cuddle with me and the Mr.

Also, anyone can be funny/great with Craig Ferguson. He's exactly that good.

I have two pet rats, Spot and Woozel, and they are ADORABLE.

Posted by: Craig at January 10, 2012 2:41 PM

Joanna, I think you should talk to Dustin about a post consisting simply of all the interviews Kristen Bell has done with Craig Ferguson, in chronological order. Guaranteed it would be hugely popular amongst this group. And helpful, because it's annoying trying to go through YouTube to find the right order. Just a thought.

Posted by: CH at January 10, 2012 2:54 PM

Craig, while the "who" was off-putting, what really irritated me was actually the way (I felt) the second season finale wrecked the penultimate episode of the first season. *That* was one of the finest hours of network t.v. I've ever seen.

And then there were the bizarre undertones of homophobia, which... were bizarre. I don't know, it was disappointing to me. So I think it was the side-issue "why" that bothered me the most.

Posted by: Jenne Frisby at January 10, 2012 5:21 PM

Aaaah, baby Woozel is a widdle cutie pie.

Posted by: snapnhiss at January 10, 2012 9:32 PM

Jenne, I can see your point, but I think it was intended as an indictment of homophobia and a cautionary tale of its effects on people. What happened in season two was the result of a pervasive culture of homophobia impacting a victimized, disturbed individual. I don't think Rob Thomas and his writers are homophobic, and it is reflected in their p.o.v. characters.

As far as season two's retro-impact on season one, I don't think it wrecks the penultimate episode so much as it wrecks your view of a beloved character when you realize he/she not only lied, but has never been who you assumed. It was very uncomfortable and dismaying, but ultimately very powerful, and even after everything the killer has done, your heart still breaks at the end of season two.
