Kristen Bell will play the lead in "When in Rome," a romantic comedy
set up at Disney.

The project is written and directed by Mark Steven Johnson, who has
most recently been cutting his romantic comedy teeth on projects like
"Daredevil," "Elektra" and "Ghost Rider."

According to Variety, Bell will play a successful real estate agent
who can't find love in Manhattan. When she goes to Rome for her
sister's wedding, she collects coins from a "fountain of love" and is
suddenly inundated by potential loves. Hilarity ensues.

Production on "When in Rome" will begin on March 31, shooting in New
York and, fittingly, Rome.

Most recently seen as part of the "Heroes" ensemble last fall, Bell's
best known for her work as the title character in UPN and The CW's
"Veronica Mars." She'll play another title character in this spring's
Judd Apatow-produced comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."

I am actually happy that Kristen will be in Heroes. I am a fan of the
show and even though VM is gone i can still watch her amazing talent
on my other favorite show.

Now i know there has to be someone out there that feels the same.

Check out this great new Veronica Mars article...

After turning down a role on "Lost", Kristen Bell rebounds with a
multi-episode story arc on "Heroes". I'm kinda glad she held out
now. "Heroes" is definitely the hotter show.

Heroes Nabs Kristen Bell
The in demand Veronica Mars star has a surprising new gig on Heroes:
Season 2.
by Eric Goldman
  August 19, 2007 - In a rather notable piece of casting, Kristen
Bell has signed on to do a multi-episode arc of Heroes for its
upcoming second season. Variety reports that Bell will make her
first appearance in October, playing a character named Elle. As
Variety notes, getting Bell on Heroes is an especially nice coup for
NBC and the series, given how in-demand the actress is.

In fact, just last week Bell was said to have been sought out for a
role on Lost's upcoming season that she ultimately passed on. At the
time speculation was that it might have been a scheduling issue,
which could still have been the case, considering this Heroes role
seems to be for a specific story arc, versus a more nebulous
recurring role on Lost that may have lasted the entire season.
Heroes creator Tim Kring tells Variety "This was not easy to pull
off, but since we're an ensemble show, with many arcs playing out
through the year, we found a way to jump into a small window in
[Bell's] schedule." Katherine Pope, the president of Universal Media
Studios, who produce Heroes, also noted how happy she was that
Bell "chose to star in our show," adding that "many studios [were]
chasing her in both film and TV." Bell will also have a new ongoing
role on The CW's Gossip Girl this fall, though she'll only be heard
there, as the show's narrator.



Variety also reveals some details about Bell's character. Those
wishing to avoid any upcoming plot details should avert their eyes
and consider this a Spoiler Warning.











Elle is said to be a " a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to
the supposed death of Peter, H.R.G.'s past and the future of
Claire." Variety also says "Elle will kick off her arc by committing
a serious crime, though it's unclear whether she's good or bad."

From SyFy Portal: http://www.syfyportal.com/news424034.html

For all the "Veronica Mars" fans that were excited about Kristen
Bell joining the cast of "Lost" for its upcoming season, it's time
to pack up the party favors and noisemakers.TV Guide's Michael
Ausiello is reporting that Bell -- who was reportedly joining the
cast last week -- turned down the role because she didn't want to
relocate to Hawaii where the hit ABC series is filmed.

In the original "Lost" casting report, two new roles that would
start as recurring and possibly move to regular were being offered
to both Bell and "Prison Break's" Peter Stormare. Bell was supposed
to play a character named Charlotte, a woman "in her late 20s,
attractive in a naturalistic and athletic way, precocious,
loquacious and funny."

Even when Ausiello first reported the news last week, he did qualify
it by saying that nothing had been signed, and there was still a
question on whether or not Bell would be interested in jumping back
into network television so soon after wrapping "Veronica Mars."
However, he said if it did happen, it would be the "casting coup of
the century."

That forces producers back to the drawing board in terms of casting
for the role of Charlotte, who is expected to appear as early as the
second episode of the fourth season.

"Lost" will begin airing an abbreviated version of its fourth season
in early 2008 on ABC.

From SCI FI WIRE

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=43134

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has posted a rumor that the producers of
ABC's Lost are considering Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell for the
new role of Charlotte, a hot 20-something who is said to
be "precocious, loquacious and funny." According to Ausiello, the
role is described as "a very successful academic who also knows how
to handle herself in the real world."

The character of Charlotte will likely appear in the second episode
of the season. The role is initially recurring, with a possibility
of becoming a series regular down the line.

______________

It would be a little weird for me to see Kristen playing someone
named Charlotte. Her character, Maddy, in "Pulse" was very Veronica-
like, so it wasn't too difficult to adjust.

Nat

There was no ill will on the Miss/Guided project. We just disagreed on
the direction of the show. It was their creation, so I left.

I have moved into a consulting gig on BIG SHOTS, which is filling my
days.

I know there are many who would like to know the specifics on when and
if I'll be able to continue the VM story. I'm afraid I don't have a
definitive answer other than to say I want to do it. Unfortunately
right now, I need to pay the bills, and I'd have to write the movie on
spec. It's difficult to consult on a show, develop new pilots and
knock out comic books and/or a feature script.

I'm grateful that there are fans anxious for it, and I remain
motivated.

As a fellow fan of Veronica Mars I wanted to pass on the information

"Wild" time for CW with 3 series ending, 4 added

"At a news conference after the presentation, Ostroff confirmed that
"Mars" has solved her last case in her current incarnation but that no
final decision has been made on a proposed new version of the series
by creator Rob Thomas in which the title character, played by Kristen
Bell, attends the FBI Academy."
*Dawn Ostroff, entertainment president at the CW

Translation: There is STILL HOPE!

What can you do?

CALL YOUR LOCAL CW AFFILIATE - let them know you want another season
of VM. Ask for the program director when you call.

CALL DAWN OSTROFF - let her know how much you enjoy VM and encourage
her to pick up this "new version" of the series.
