Kristen Bell appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show promoting her latest movie Big Miracle where she talked about her 31st birthday with fiance Dax Shepard (last summer) and how he made it very special not only by having a birthday party for her but having a SLOTH come to the house. Apparently Kristen is enamored in a very big way with sloths.

So she's telling Ellen the story of how on her birthday there is a knock at the door and Dax tells her to take the dogs and go in the bedroom. At this point she has no clue it's a sloth. Then as she's in the bedroom with the door shut she realizes it's a sloth. She feels it.

Dax opens the door with a video camera and she shared her emotional meltdown with Ellen. Being the jokester that she is Ellen (at the end of viewing that clip) tells her there's one backstage and she immediately starts tearing up.

First of all I LOVE Kristen Bell. Seriously this girl is perfection. But I have to say she's got some big stones sharing that video of her emotional breakdown over the sloth and good for her. And isn't it adorable how Dax just totally gets her and loves her for all that she is? That's a beautiful thing.

Seriously this hysterical and worth watching.

Kristen Bell is a doll that is talented, funny, gorgeous and self-deprecating. Her wit is sharp and she isn't changing for anybody and she's totally okay with that (as she should be):

She's in Flaunt Magazine in a spread that's entitled 'Kristen Bell Hates You' and while hate is probably a word you would never associate with this doll, she will tell you like it is and for that we love her badly:

“I’ve always been a big dog person,” she declares, pointing out two small dogs yip-yapping in excitement over the smell of food, thick in the air. “I like animals more than I like people. They’re just nicer,” Bell says and blinks her eyes and stares at me daringly. 

I totally understand that. Dogs are nicer than most people. It's just the truth.  She's all about the truth and that includes realizing she is not perfect:

“I stopped chasing perfection in every definition of the word. In career, in vanity, in anywhere I could apply it. I think perfection is unrealistic and unattainable, and I felt freed when I let myself be who I am,” Bell states. “Like, I’m gonna order red velvet pancakes. Life is fucking short and these are delicious.” 

I f*cking love this woman. She is the type of girl another girl would be so lucky to have as a friend. And despite her enormous success and that of her fiance Dax Shepard, the two are frugal and well, hillbillies:

“We’re hillbillies at heart, and I’m not fucking ashamed of that.” She goes on to say that another common trait Detroit imparts to all its native inhabitants is pessimism. “You tend to always be prepared for the end. Even if you get out,” Bell explains. “So, I always assume my career’s going to end tomorrow, you know what I mean? We’re very frugal.”

Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can’t wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she’s also his ex-girlfriend.

With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.

  Big Miracle is in theaters on February 3.

Engaged couple Kristen Bell 31, and Dax Shepard 36, showed some love to one another on the red carpet at this weekend’s 2011 Do Something Awards which combine Hollywood and social good. You can catch it on TV August 18th 9/8c.

It’s rare to see Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard at an event together in the first place, but to be showering each other with the PDA is beyond rare but it’s a beautiful thing. I love these two. Especially Kristen. She appears to be just a beautiful person both inside and out.

Enjoy the pics!

I think the monkey Crystal may have stolen the show last night at the Los Angeles premiere of The Hangover: Part II. What an absolute sweet little monkey! Of course the gorgeous Justin Bartha and Bradley Cooper may have also garnered some much-deserved attention too. Do you think?

Alyssa Milano rocked her baby bump looking very adorable. Husband and wife (although we really aren’t sure about that yet) Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard were also at the premiere along with the stars of the show Zach Galifianakis, Mike Tyson, and Ken Jeong.

Rainn Wilson was virtually unrecognizable given that he has lost a lot of weight. He looks great.

Lots of pictures after the break.

The cast of Burlesque, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Kristen Bell and Cam Gigandet all pose at the Crazy Horse in Paris where they had a photo call earlier today.

They are on a worldwide promotional tour of Burlesque that earlier was in London, England. Christina performed Express from the film on Saturday’s X-Factor and met with much criticism that the performance was too sexy (Rihanna’s performance also received the same criticism). Numerous complaints were made to the U.K.’s Office Of Communication, but Christina defends it saying:

“I don’t think there is such a thing as too raunchy when it comes to the art form of burlesque.

“It’s very empowering to women to feel confident in their own skin and in their bodies and this represents that.

“Everyone in the spotlight is judged and there are many opinions out there but I stick true to what I believe in.”

Below is the video of the performance. What do you think? Too racy, or true to the form of dance? Have you seen Burlesque yet? What did you think of it.
