Kristen Bell looked flirty and fabulous at the premiere of the movie Astro Boy the other night at the The Mann Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Moviefone recently interviewed Kristen about the millions of things she has going on right now. Here are the highlights:
On doing a lot of voice work: It’s easier in the sense that you don’t have to go through hair and makeup but you do have to approach the part the same way. If you try to fake it, you can hear it. If you pretend to sniffle, you’re going to sound like an idiot. You have to be just as emotionally present and really know who your character is.
On becoming a geek: It absolutely happened by chance. I looked for projects with good material and good writing and it just so happened that a lot of them were genre projects. I didn’t plan it out, but I am ultimately flattered and happy to be accepted into that community. I love going to Comic-Con. I’ve been there five out of the past six years. The geek community has the most intelligent fans out there.
On being on camera for Gossip Girl: That’s a question for [showrunners] Josh [Schwartz] and Stephanie [Savage]. It’s up to them to decide whether to keep the mystery or to show her face, but my guess is they’re going to keep the mystery. I have a very empty threat with Josh where I joke that one day, I’m going to go to extras casting and get cast as a waitress and just start staring into the camera.
On what project she’s done that she is most known for: It ping-pongs back and forth between ‘Deadwood,’ ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and ‘Veronica Mars’. One movie that comes up all the time that you wouldn’t think, though, is ‘Pootie Tang.’ It was my first movie ever. I played Andy Richter’s daughter and I had one line at the end of the film. But people watch that movie all the time and will yell at me, “You were great in ‘Pootie Tang.’” And I’m thinking, “Oh my gosh, you recognize me from ‘Pootie Tang’? I was 18 years old. I’ll send you my bio. It’s updated.”
I have to admit that I was pretty excited to watch Eleventh Hour. This Jerry Bruckheimer produced series is only available through the WBshop.com. And it features all 18 episodes and 6 discs for just $34.95.
What surprised me the most was how this reminded me of Fringe. I’m new to all these Sci-Fi kind of shows, but now because of Fringe I’m way more accepting of the whole thing. This show has everything that I look for and more.
The synopsis for the show goes like this: Legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer is back again in the nick of time with Eleventh Hour. This Complete 6-Disc, 18-Episode Series stars Rufus Sewell as a brilliant biophysicist and special science advisor to the government investigating scientific crises and oddities – everything from cloning to cryogenics. With absolute jurisdiction and a resolve to apprehend those abusing and misusing scientific discoveries and breakthroughs for their own gain, he’s called in as the last line of defense. Marley Shelton co-stars as the decorated FBI protection officer assigned to watch his back. Based on the British miniseries by acclaimed writer Stephen Gallagher, the suspenseful series follows the unlikely pair as they crusade to protect the substance of science from those with nefarious motives.
I found a great trailer of the show on YouTube even.
Yesterday the DVD for Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen came out. But did you know that there is an awesome augmented reality part to the DVD? All you need is the DVD cover and a webcam.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will be the first DVD and Blu-ray EVER to use augmented reality to activate a compelling new form of entertainment using the packaging and a webcam.
Fans who point the front of the 2-disc DVD or Blu-ray package at a webcam will activate a 3D holographic experience that includes puzzle solving, discovery, and game-play. As part of this experience, fans will be able to examine the Matrix of Leadership help Optimus Prime shoot Decepticon targets, and more—all in holographic 3D.
Augmented reality works through a webcam that will first recognize familiar 2-dimensional images. Once it has identified a ‘marker’, it uses this as a basis upon which to project 3-dimensional objects, animations and interactive content.

This moment seems bittersweet to me. I finally get to see Adam Lambert in a video. I think that I’ve finally come to terms that he’s better this way. He has an awesome solo career in front of him. Look at him in this theme song for the movie, 2012, called Time For Miracles. Adam is an amazing miracle…rock on!
It’s been a couple of days since I’ve mentioned one of my favorite actors of prime time, Alex O’Loughlin. TV Guide posted this adorable video of Alex explaining more about Three Rivers and how he freaked out when he saw an open chest cavity for the first time. And the cutest thing is at the end when he juggles PDA’s. Now that is a talent I could never get down.
Be sure to tune into CBS on Saturday when they will be replaying the third episode of Three Rivers called Good Intentions. We need more people to watch the show, I know that the time slot of Sunday night isn’t good. If only there was something that could be done about it. Alex has worked his butt off for this job and I want to keep him in prime time television where he belongs.
