Is Veronica Mars based on the Chloe Sullivan character from Smallville ?
They seem so similar, from detective work to smartass comments.
I read on some forum that UPN found out about the popularity of the Chloe character, and decided to do a show with a similar character.
Any truth to that ?

Did you know...? Kristen Bell was up for the role of Chloe Sullivan.

I suppose it's more realistic though... If Kristen Bell had been pining away for Clark and he still wanted Lana, I would have quit the show when he ditched Chloe at the prom (instead of applauding and laughing at her tears).

So where would you be today if you had gotten the role of Chloe Sullivan that you pursued when "Smallville" was starting out?
BELL: I would be living in Vancouver [Laughs]. I don't know! Allison [Mack] is just great, and the show is so popular. They have a bigger budget than we do so maybe I'd have some more money in the bank, but I also would be living in Canada, so that would be the two biggest things.

I dunno, Mack has this cute innocent look going for her.
Also, she is probably the only main hot character in any show to have seem meat on her bones. Kristen looks a bit anorexic.

As for Kristen Bell looking too skinny, maybe if she ate meat that wouldn't be a problem.

I hate that standard comment of "At least she has meat on her bones." Which is another way of saying she's got some puppy fat on her. Just because KB's body is rock hard does not mean she's anorexic, it means she works out more and eats less than Mack, not that she's sick.
