Kristen Bell Is a Hero!
We always knew Veronica Mars was a bad-ass, but now she’s got powers! Variety reports that Kristen Bell is joining the cast of Heroes for a multi-episode arc. She'll be playing a character named Elle, who is mixed up in the fates of Peter, Claire and H.R.G. And apparently she’ll start with a bang: We’re introduced to Elle when she will kick off her arc by commits a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad. Huh. Sounds like another smart, sexy blonde we know.
The Heroes folks were thrilled to get Kristen on board – after all, she just turned down a spot on Lost, another show you might have heard of. “This was not easy to pull off,” said show creator Tim Kring. “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.”
That schedule is filling up, what with Kristen filming the new Judd Apatow movie “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” lending her voice to Gossip Girl, and doing more voice work for the animated feature “Sheepish,” due out in 2008. Wow – she’s almost as busy as Terry Crews!
We can expect to see Kristen on Heroes in October. Will you be tuning in to see her, or will she always be Veronica Mars in your heart?

I liked Veronica mars better. I can not believe that the show has been canceled this always happens to the good shows. I never watched Heros can't get into it. But I wish her the best because she is a great actress.

I won't be tuning in, simply because I don't watch Heroes. I tried to watch it, but I came in late, and had no clue what was going on.
I wish her the best of luck though.
