I have a colleague, who used to say to another colleague, usually on a Monday morning, “Hey – did you close?“  This of course referred not to business acumen but whether or not he got the amount of action he was hoping for on the weekend.  If they’re not already reading this, I bet money they both would love this show. Full Story

I have finished the first season of Veronica Mars. SO good. Like, I know I’m criminally late on this but, um, what’s up with the low ratings? It’s like Friday Night Lights. People must be allergic to excellence. Anyway, happily, despite my newfound love for Veronica Mars, amazingly I’ve also still been able to retain my disdain for Kristen Bell in real life. Full Story

Can I just ask, why?  Why, PVR people, are you not smart enough to  know that a show’s going to go a little overtime?   Just give a little more time, please?I persevered, though, guys, don’t worry, I watched the end of the show for you – for you – so that I could bring you the best review possible which I know is what you require. Full Story

Written by Duana I don’t have foresight. FIRST, my friend and colleague Shelley showed me a video wherein Kristen Bell irked her (and/or got in the way of enjoying her TV boyfriend Craig Ferguson.) THEN I said she should send it to Lainey, who would no doubt feel the same way. Full Story

And... sadly... Isla Fisher. There are so many things I cherish about my friend Laura but nothing more than the glee with which she hates on Kristen Bell. Laura is also my producer – in Cannes, at the Oscars, all over the world including Sundance where we forever bonded over mutual eye roll for Kristen Bell who, as you know, is barely anyone, but stalked around that place like she was too good to stop, and claimed she didn’t want to be cared about. Full Story

But before that, click here to see the District 3 Tributes. They’ve also cast Katniss’s ma. Click here for more information on that. And John C Reilly is supposedly negotiating to be Haymitch? Meh. Full Story

It’s a guarantee – whenever Kristen Bell shows up somewhere looking like sh-t, I will hear from Laura. She’ll be in a great mood, it’ll set the tone for the rest of her day, for our day as, among the many things we share, Kristen Bell Hate is something we developed together, at the same time, at Sundance, when that little twat was such a f-cking bitch to the entire media line at a party, an even bigger bitch than P Diddy at the same party (which is saying something in itself and at this point Veronica Mars was over) that we vowed never to bother with her ass ever again. Full Story

It is my professional duty to care about Justin Bieber. And he’s Canadian which means the caring is multiplied by 5 to satisfy Canadian Content requirements. Michelle assures me this will only last another year. Is that longer or shorter than Jersey Shore? Please let it be over. Also debated during our live blog – when can we expect a Bieber growth spurt? Bieber is almost 16. Full Story

I didn’t say it, Gawker said it. But you know I’ve been saying it for years: that TV girls should be content being on TV. And Kristen Bell is very much a TV girl. Just like Jessicas Alba and Biel, and so many more her, Bell just doesn’t have it to make it in movies. Full Story

It makes my friend Jody very happy when I post pictures of him. I am happy to post them. Am happy to make her happy. So everyone wins with Jason Bateman. Jason was with his Couples Retreat co-stars in London today at a photocall to promote the film. Look how handsome. Jason Bateman and Rob Lowe. They never age, do they? It’s the genes. Full Story

Hidden under too many layers of douche. This is Vince Vaughn with Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell in Sydney presumably to promote Couples Retreat heading to the zoo for some sightseeing. On screen he’s hilarious and endearing. In person… by many accounts… he’s insufferable. As in when they were shooting this film there were specific instructions not to look at him. Full Story

Remember the best story from last week? George Clooney and Fabio throwing down at some restaurant because George’s bitch came out when he mistakenly believed Fab’s female friends who were seated at a table nearby were taking photos of him? The incident was a source of major Clooney DEquiveration and provided the most press Fabio’s received in years. Full Story

Every season of television features a feuding cast. Last year it was Grey’s Anatomy – the show that now sucks major ass. The year before it was Desperate Housewives. Bet your boob job there will be two blondes at the centre of some major network drama this season now that Kristen Bell has joined the cast of Heroes. Full Story
