This fall, America’s about to find out what fans of VERONICA MARS have known for years. Kristen Bell is a HERO! According to this morning’s VARIETY, Bell has signed on for a key multiepisode arc set to start in October. Bell will play Elle, who Variety describes as, “a sexy, mysterious young lady who has ties to the supposed death of 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.” And just to get the rumour mill spinning — sexy, blonde with ties to both H.R.G AND Claire? Paging Claire’s long lost slightly older sister! 
Thanks to GMMR for the early morning tip! (how does she do it!?)
