Kristen Bell News

Kristen Bell not only narrates Gossip Girl - she gets her style from the show!

The actress - who is heard, but not seen every week as the title character, says she channels Blake Lively’s Serena van der Woodsen to make sure she's stylish.

“I use Gossip Girl to work out my outfits. I sit and take notes while I’m watching it,” she says. “If Blake Lively wears a white silky vest, I write down ‘Serena - white silky vest.’"

"It’s the only way I can make sure I look stylish!"

The Heroes star, 29, also revealed she loves being funny, but admits it’s “hard” for women to have a sense of humor without being the brunt of the joke.

“I think it’s sometimes one of the hardest things, to be a woman and be funny and not be completely and utterly self-deprecating," Bell laments.

"For a long time, people have been at odds with accepting that.”

This rumor pops up every once in awhile, but this time, Kristen Bell herself has commented on how she wants to make an on-screen appearance as Gossip Girl.

The actress who narrates the series as the mysterious blogger - who was seen on set last month - wants to emerge from behind the scenes to play a bit part.

"I've pitched [exec producer] Josh Schwartz a couple of times for me to be on camera as a waitress or something but he wasn't buying it," Kristen Bell told the New York Daily News. "Hopefully he'll change his mind in the future!"

Could you see Kristen Bell on the UES? Will we see her when Serena tries to unmask Gossip Girl this season? Would you like to see her in a different role?

XOXO: The awesome Kristen Bell is always heard, but never seen as the title character and snarky narrator on Gossip Girl. Will that ever change - and should it?

OMG, is Gossip Girl herself finally going to appear on the CW series that bears her name? Sneaky celebrity gossip photographers spotted the actress who voices the character hanging with the Gossip Girl cast this week.

Are we finally going to meet the blogger behind the infamous site?

According to E! Online's spoiler Q&A, Kristen Bell was photographed on the set of Gossip Girl. Was it just a coincidental visit or are we going to actually see our favorite snarky voiceover character in person on the show?

According to sources, Kristen Bell is not scheduled to appear onscreen, but the season finale is all about Serena van der Woodsen trying to unmask Gossip Girl.

Why do you think that is? And how do you think it will turn out?

We've never seen former Veronica Mars and current Heroes star Kristen Bell on Gossip Girl, but we hear her each and every week.

As the voice of the infamous blogger from whom the show is named, she's the girl behind the snarky Gossip Girl quotes we love.

Here are excerpts from an interview Kristen recently did in which she discussed Gossip Girl in addition to her role on Heroes ...

Q: You're pulling double-duty on Gossip Girl. Do you see your role as the narrator on that show as a fully realized character?

Kristen Bell: Not really. I see her as the entity that is the Internet. It's like she's reading your diary - or your Sweet Valley High Slam Book, like when I was in school. These websites, there's so much catty interaction. She's the voice of evil.

Q: Websites are evil?

Kristen Bell: [Laughs.] Not all of them. But when they involve talking about your friends and being really catty, I don't think they're not evil.

Q: Would you be willing to fully take on that character if the creators ever decided that the Gossip Girl should be exposed?

We often talk about Gossip Girl fashion, but here's a different wrinkle - breaking down the hairstyles of a pair of the show's lesser-known stars.

She may be known for her role as curly-headed Vanessa Abrams on Gossip Girl, but Jessica Szohr was spotted with straight locks at the Teen Choice Awards ...

Meanwhile, Kristen Bell - heard but never seen on Gossip Girl as the mysterious title character - frequently rocks different locks. The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star recently rotated her side-swept bangs and a heavy blunt fringe ...

Which hair do you prefer on Jessica Szohr and Kristen Bell?

During a press conference discussing her role on Heroes, Kristen Bell was asked about her involvement on Gossip Girl.

Does she like it? Will the actress ever appear on-screen in an episode? Here's what Bell said:

Gossip Girl has been great. I've known Josh for a little bit and was happy to be involved. It's an easy deal. I'm not on camera. I dreamt of having a job where I could show up in my jammies. It's been a lot of fun.

Doesn't sound like we'll ever get a glimpse of Gossip Girl herself, but that's okay. Between Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, there's enough beauty to go around as is.
