It seems like Kristen Bell is the new IT girl for TV. Right on the heels of rumours that she was being cast in Lost we now get news that my favourite blue eyed belle will be involved in a story arc on HEROES!

Variety.com says:

Peacock has snagged Bell for a key multiepisode arc of its sophomore sensation. Casting is a major coup for NBC since Bell — who plays the title character in Judd Apatow’s upcoming “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” — was reportedly being sought for several TV gigs, including a part on ABC’s “Lost.”

Bell will make her first “Heroes” appearance in October. She’ll play Elle, a character described as a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to … Peter, H.R.G.’s past and the future of Claire. Elle will kick off her arc by committing a serious crime, though it’s unclear whether she’s good or bad.

Now this is the best news I have heard so far about Bell. I have myself a little TV crush on Kristen and I was heartily disappointed when Veronica Mars was cancelled. It looked for a while like her role as the narrator on Gossip Girl would be the only taste we would get.

But combine her role in Fanboys (something I am also excited about) and an appearance on my favourite TV Show Heroes, I am in geek heaven and Kristen Bell is my tour guide!
