[edit] Reefer Madness
There is no mention of her appearing in the Reefer Madness musical, and only a passing reference is made to the movie. - Matthew238 05:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Starred in the Off Broadway musical, and the movie. --Tomsnet 16:38, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bad picture
There is a GREAT picture of Kristen Bell at http://iesb.net/index.php?option=com_zoom&Itemid=57&page=view&catid=101&key=5&hit=1.
This is from Fanboys.
Could someone please post it?
There is also an awesome one of her in Shape Magazine. PLEASE post or tell me how...
- No. Please reread WP:FU which explains why these images are inappropriate for use on the Wikipedia. --Yamla 21:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm curious if we could get a -worse- picture of Ms. Bell....
Just changed the picture to a better one. Hope you enjoy! - rvb_strongbad 07:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Just added 2 fair use TV screenshots, one from the Late Late Show for the profile pic, and one from Emmy Idol. --TheTruthiness 22:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Another awful picture seems to have emerged. What was wrong with the older one? Blaise Joshua 07:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm just trying to figure out who it is.. common were not going to become "the free incomprehensible encyclopeadia that anyone can edit" for the sake of fair use are we? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 08:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
You know I try never try to step in when images are getting switched and all, but here I have to at least get my voice in. That image may be suitable as a souvenir for a convention, but for the purpose of identifying someone, it is awful and needs to be replaced with... anything else.--Bacteria 20:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
The one up right now is extremely blurry. Can someone change it?
- The old image has been restored.. I'm going to try emailing some people at flickr though who have uploaded there images of her to see if they will freely license an image in the mean time as we do not to try and get a free image eventually.

[edit] Polish-Americans?
Does anyone have a good, first-hand source for her Polish ancestry? Every site I could find was shaky. I believe this info originally came from the IMDB, who now say she's of Irish descent! Anyway, until there's something first-hand (like an interview) I'll remove the category. MadJack 06:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Kristen Bell, Interview on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, March 14, 2005. Video clip: http://www.neptune-high.net/video/cast/bell.php. Starting ~2:30 mark.
- Weirdly enough, this interview says she comes from an "Irish family".[1] The Ellen interview is more reliable, and gives the impression that Bell meant her whole family is Polish. I'm guessing the interviewer for Parade might've looked her up on the IMDB, where at the time it said she was Irish, and put that fact in his article without actually asking her... but I'm not sure Mad Jack O'Lantern 18:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey User:Mad Jack, here is source for saying that she is of Polish ancestry...[2], under "Trivia", fourth one down.You're welcome! (Trampton 04:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)).
Her mother's family is Polish, her father's family is Irish. From a family member. --Tomsnet 16:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Diminutive size and petite figure
The series Veronica Mars makes frequent self deprecating jokes about Kristen's size. For example in the Episode "Mars Vs Mars" she hides in a small compartment in the bathroom and remarks how she knows she is petite and it comes in handy some times. In series two in an episode where she receives a consultation from a plastic surgeon who says he wouldn't change a thing, another character later comments similarly but with a suggestion about increasing her chest size. I found it an interesting coincidence that her episode in Everwood was also about - entirely unnecessary - breast enlargement. Perhaps someone else can find an interesting way to integrate these coincidences into the description of Ms. Bell in an amusing way. It suggests she has a healthy body image, good self image and sense of humor to go along with repeated jokes at her own expense (either that or she is externalises the character from herself and doesn't take it personally but I prefer to think she well developed sense of humor).
I think its irrelevant, one because her size has no association with what she does and two, the jokes on VM were aimed at Veronica, not Kristen. This article needs to be neutral and going on about her sense of humour will affect the bias of it. --Franch 05:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism?
This is ridiculous, if you idiots would rather have no picture at all then I just don't know. Putting a picture on here is not vandalism for god's sake. The copyright issue is just not a big deal, I have no idea why some people are intent on ruining wikipedia by removing perfectly good photos. This sort of thing is why normal people are losing interest in editing this site, leaving it to nerds who are obsessed with copyright issues to take over. Sad really.
- It's more like "Anonymous editors disrupting". --Majorly 23:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well if people like you feel the need to delete a photo for no good reason, (seriously, the legal issue is non existent, nobody is going to care that this photo is used, really) I don't know what you are trying to achieve, but go for it, I guess. It's just a shame, that's all. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.238.76.186 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
- It's just the Wikipedia-Nazi's getting pissy and deleting pages and photos. Hopefully they'll get over it one day and realize there are better things to do in life than patrolling Wikipedia for certain images and pages.
- It's unlikely. --Majorly 13:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Roman Catholic?
Is she or not?Domingo Portales 06:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, she went to a Catholic high school. (Trampton 04:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)).
Yes, she is. --Tomsnet 16:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Where do you know that from?(Trampton 02:36, 26 February 2007 (UTC)).
I am her Dad.--Tomsnet 20:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
How can you be her dad?You're joking right?(Trampton 03:14, 28 February 2007 (UTC)).
- Tomsnet has no reason to lie, Trampton please assume good faith. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 07:57, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
How do we know this person is really her dad,we can't trust everyone.
- Well, for starters, Tomsnet user name is eerily similar to the domain name of this website, which really looks like it is maintained by a family member of Kristen Bell. By the way, is there a reason why this picture is not used as a picture in the article? It really looks good. Thank you, Tomsnet, for uploading it. I suppose you are the author of the picture? Blur4760 12:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed it's a very good picture. Tomsnet also used to hold a place holder for Kristin's official website. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 12:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, re: the picture. Her mom snapped it during a visit to the set. And, yes, TomsNet is the family website. --Tomsnet 20:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Maybe you should upload this image to Wikimedia Commons, so, the Wikipedias in other languages will be able to use it. --Carioca 05:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A picture?
Shouldn't we already have a picture in the infobox,we only have one picture and that is the one where she is on Veronica Mars.(Trampton 02:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)).
