Veronica Mars Movie Finally in the Works.

Good news for you Heroes fans missing the now-deceased Elle, Kristen Bell. It looks like Kristen's heading for the big screen as that other alter ego who's even more kickass: Miss Veronica Mars.
This is what über-producer Rob Thomas spills to us, after word broke that the order for his new ABC midseason series, Cupid, was trimmed down from 13 episodes to eight.
"What that means for me is that I have a couple of months to write the Veronica Mars movie," Thomas says. "I suddenly find myself with enough time to write that script. That's the next project."
So what's the planned plot for the final send-off of V.M.? Rob spills the details...
The Kristen & Kristin Show: Bell Spills Sarah, Heroes and the Secret Meaning of Cheetos...
Oh, I lurve her more than words can say. Press play above for my Hawaiian-island sit-down with the amazing and beautiful Ms. Kristen Bell. She spills on the yoga-sex in her hilarious new movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (premiering next Friday in theaters everywhere!), the contract deets of her Heroes deal and what the "Detroit girl" in her really wants to do to those paparazzi who follow her to the grocery store!
P.S. Check back late next week for some quality golf-cart time with How I Met Your Mother's Jason Segel! Bring your asthma medication when you come though, because you might laugh so hard you lose the ability to breathe...
Exclusive! Kristen Bell in Talks to Reunite with Veronica Boss Rob Thomas!

Aloha!
I am back today from the isle of Lost and Kristen Bell and surf and sun and golf-cart orgy talk (no joke—more on that later).
That island, of course, is Oahu, Hawaii. And I’ll be sharing the goodies from my trip a little closer to the return of Lost and the premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall (the new Judd Apatow comedy with Kristen, Jason Segel and others stars we love), but for now I simply cannot wait to tell you the most jaw-dropping, giddy-good, exclusive news of all:
Kristen Bell is in talks to rejoin forces with her Veronica Mars boss, Rob Thomas!
(I’ll wait while you spontaneously break into a happy hula dance.)
Kristen herself tells me (with a big ol’ Veronica-like, canary-eating grin) that, “yes, there is talk” of her signing onto one of Rob’s new TV series for this fall.
In case you hadn’t heard, Rob is one-upping Josh Schwartz in his plot to take over television (the world?) and helming three fall pilots: the CW’s Beverly Hills, 90210 remake, ABC’s Cupid remake and ABC’s dramedy based on the New Zealand series Outrageous Fortune.
So which series is it?
Reliable insiders confirm that Kristen has been offered a role as one of the daughters on ABC’s Outrageous Fortune remake, and that Rene Russo is very close to signing on as the mother. The series is about a family of criminals, in which the father gets sent to the clinker and the mother decides to set everyone straight.
The question is whether Kristen’s busy shooting schedule can be worked out, given her commitments to upcoming projects, Gossip Girl voice-overs and, of course, NBC’s Heroes, which is hoping to have her back for at least five episodes.
We’ll have much, much more from Kristen—including her words on what’s really happening with Heroes—in the next Watch with Kristin show. So stand by, and post your K.B. and R.T. hopes and wishes below!
