Kristen Bell to Star in New Showtime Series

http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/02/01/kristen-bell-showtim/

Kristen Bell may be coming back to series TV.
The Veronica Mars and Heroes star has joined a Showtime pilot. Bell has joined the cast of the network’s comedy project House of Lies, starring Don Cheadle.
The project is based on the book House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time … which pretty much serves as an effective story description too.
Cheadle is the cutthroat consultant who uses any means necessary to get his clients the information they want, while Bell is a smart, Ivy-League grad who works at his firm.
Kristen Bell on Showtime. The mind reels....

I hope it is good, because her theatrical output lately has been dismal.

It's not called "Show Me the Cheadle" for nothing.

Re: Kristen Bell to Star in New Showtime Series

Am I the only one that can't stand this chick? I feel bad being in the, I guess, minority but she does nothing for me in terms of her looks (gummy smile and Julia Roberts teeth) and especially in her acting.

You should feel bad because you don't have soul.

Why yes, yes you are.

If you've seen Veronica Mars and still feel that well then, you're helpless and god have mercy on your soul.

You deserve to be made to feel bad about this at least one more time. Yes, you are the only one.




I haven't been into showtime shows so much recently, but I'll check out a couple of these. Interests are piqued

In this case though, I really doubt it.

Re: Kristen Bell to Star in New Showtime Series

Yea I think she's said somewhere that she'd never do nudity. But lets all hope they get her to do it. Cept that guy with no soul in this thread.

Perhaps you will get your nudity with Don Cheadle.

Awhile back in another thread, someone asked the same question about Kristen, and I gave this same answer.

You heard her say that in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I've been liking her less after seeing the movies she's been in, but I've still got sufficient wood to check out her new series.

Publicists for the show have promised that by the second episode, people will know "Cheadle" as another word for banus, bonch, taint or grundle.
