Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have some big news, they are expanding their family. No they are not adopting a sloth, but they are expecting their first child in the spring according to Us Weekly. You know that Veronica Mars is going to be the cutest pregnant mom out there because she is awwwdorable even when she is not expecting.
No word if her pregnancy will be written into House of Lies that is currently shooting its second season.
Bell isn’t the only actress who announced her pregnancy today, 7th Heaven’s Beverly Mitchell is also expecting her first child with husband Michael Cameron this spring. The actress told People, “I took seven pregnancy tests. I went to the doctor and had two more tests and they were like, ‘Bev, usually when the first one comes out positive, the rest of them will all say the same thing.’†I guess you can say she is excited about becoming a mom.
I guess when Marin Scorsese told Siri she was going places, it went to her head. Last week when the iPhone 6 came out she got a major upgrade and she is not the sweet voice we used to know who didn’t tell Zooey Deschanel that’s she’s an idiot when the New Girl asked if it was raining when all she had to do was look out the window. She is a lot tougher now. Sweet Kristen Bell tried out the newer version and by the end of the commercial that aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Veronica Mars was crying. And not in a sloth type of way.
If that is the new Siri, then I don’t want her.
Kristen Bell was a guest on Late Night and Jimmy Fallon challenged her to game of Skee-ball, but it wasn’t like the game you and I play. Instead there was a huge ramp that went into the audience where members were holding plastic buckets with 10, 20 and 100 on them. Fallon and Bell then had to take a ball and send it up the ramp into the audience and the one with more points wins.
It doesn’t matter who scored more points, it more about how much you have watching them play a stupid human tricks game.
BTW next I am in NYC, I so want to visit the show just so I can be one of those audience members with 100 bucket! How much fun would that be?
We all know that Kristen Bell is just the cutest thing and now we are seeing her even cuter than you could ever imagine. The House of Lies actress tells the truth about her obsession with sloths on Ellen today. On the show she tells the story about how perfect fiance’ Dax Shepard got her a surprise for her birthday party and when she figured out that her surprise gift was a sloth she broke down in hysterics over the news. But what made that story even better is that Parenthood actor filmed her as he told her what her slothy present was. She was seen lying in their bed with her hand over her eyes crying hysterically that she was finally going to see a sloth in person.
But it doesn’t stop there, after they come out of the video Ellen DeGeneres tells her that they are bringing out the cutest sloth for her to see. The daytime host was only joking, but it was enough to bring tears to her eyes. That was so cruel, but at the same time so freaking cute.
I know that people who work on Ice Age won’t read this, but I am making a plea to them to make her the voice of a female sloth if they do another movie or special. Let’s petition for this to happen.
Earlier this week the cast of Showtime’s House of Lies faced the press and we learned some truths about them and the show that airs every Sunday at 10p.
When Kristen Bell was asked what she thought about being on the show, she said “I’m f*cking enjoying the hell out of it” She then added why she answered the question like that, “It’s more provocative than anything I’ve ever done. And sometimes I have a potty mouth, and it’s just, you know, nice to not have those limitations.”
When asked about what is the weirdest things they have had to do on the show so far, here are some of the interesting answers they had for us.
Josh Lawson responded with, “I don’t know. Probably yeah, having Stephen make me put a dildo down my pants.” Adding a few seconds later, “Yeah. No. I had to I had to put a dildo down my pants. I suppose that’s pretty actually, that’s relatively weird.” Ben Schwartz described his moment, “Yeah. I got slapped in the face by a stripper.” That reminded Lawson of something else he did, “Uh huh. Oh, I had to slap my own dick.” Finally Dawn Olivieri chimed in with “Scenes with clothes on is weird for me.” Which I am sure the boys don’t mind.
One of the big parts of the show is where Marty Kaan played by Don Cheadle breaks out from a scene and narrates what is happening. So EP Stephen Hopkins described how they make it happen, “Actually, it’s very straightforward. It started off as like a couple of green screens being one with a couple of grips running around with green screens, and it ended up just everyone holding still, which is the funniest thing to do. And then you have to plan that out carefully with all the extras and stuff, but then a visual effects company comes in and touches it up, but it got pretty elaborate towards the end, I mean, certainly in the last three or four, there was some crazy stuff.” He concluded by saying, “Helicopters staying still. All sorts of stuff staying still.”
Don Cheadle has been doing so much Oscar worthy work that we forget that he has done some comedy. So where did he get that comedic timing, “I don’t know. I mean, really I would have to say I come from a long line of jokers. My family, we played a lot in my family, you know. My father and my mother, we all comedy just was a part of our lives together. We listened to Richard Pryor when I was a kid. I grew up with that sort of mentality already, and one of the first jobs I had was as a standup, you know. I did it until I bombed, and I was, like, ‘Well, that’s enough for that.’ So it’s something that’s kind of been in my DNA for a long time, and I just haven’t had a lot of opportunities to express it. So it’s great to have a shot with these clowns to kind of do that now.” Who knew he was more of comedian than a dramatic actor?
Glynn Thurman who plays Marty’s dad talked about something in his contract that you wouldn’t expect from him. He said, “As a matter of fact, I was surprised when they handed me a paper that said I had to sign this because there may be nudity involved. I said, ‘Oh, my gosh.’ I said, ‘Well, I don’t know. Is there enough lotion and makeup to get ash off the these things?'” So did he sign the contract with that stipulation? He exclaimed, “I signed off right away.”
