Usually featured as a DVD extra, Touchstone Pictures has released the “You Again” blooper reel prior to the movie release! Kristen’s adorable in it! Check it out below.
Actress KRISTEN BELL is putting her musical talents to the test – she’s planning to take piano lessons after “accidentally” buying one at a parking lot sale.
The Heroes star admits she can’t resist a good bargain – and pulled over immediately when she saw a parking lot full of pianos for sale in Southern California, even though she had no idea how to play a tune.
Now Bell is hoping to tickle the ivories for the first time – but the impulse buy has made her realise she may need to curb her spending habits.
She laughs, “I discovered I am powerless over a parking lot sale. I was driving in the (San Fernando) Valley and they had all these pianos – these old vintage pianos, and new pianos! And a big piano sale – because not a lot of people are buying pianos these days I guess, so I walked in. I don’t know how much a piano is, are they $100? Are they $100,000?
“To me it seems like a lot of craftsmanship goes into it. It turns out they are not that expensive. And I walked away with a really nice piano that is now in my living room. I do not (play). I hope to play.” (Source)
Looking at picture-perfect Kristen Bell, you’d think high school was a cakewalk for her. That wasn’t the case.
“I definitely had an awkward phase,” she admits in a Beverly Hills hotel room. Although she says she didn’t endure the same kind of extremes that her character does in the forthcoming Disney teen comedy You Again, she did have the universal experience of teenage growing pains.
“I was very much a pleaser in high school,” she says, “and I was always very nervous that people wouldn’t like me, so I led with compliments and I tried to keep everyone on my good side. And that was how my wanting to be accepted manifested itself.”
Actress Kristen Bell was mortified when she first brought fiance Dax Shepard home to meet the family after her aunt made an awkward joke about her love of masturbation. Bell introduced Shepard to her relatives in November 2009 for America’s Thanksgiving holiday, and the actor eventually proposed in January this year.
But the “Heroes” star was left speechless at a formal family dinner, when her “sweet” aunt tried to lighten the mood with a filthy joke. She recalls, “At Thanksgiving, which is about 15 people -10 of which were over 75 – my sweet, sweet aunt… decided she was all of a sudden bit by a commy (comedienne) bug. And she says, ‘I’ve got a joke!’ And we all thought, ‘OK, this is weird’.”
And Bell was stunned when she heard what came next, “She looked at us and she said, ‘What has two thumbs and loves to masturbate? This girl!’ My cousins and I did not know what to do… You gotta know your audience – it was not appropriate.”(Source)
