Fans of “Veronica Mars” that are still sore over its cancellation can take some comfort in the knowledge that its star, the lovely, spunky Kristen Bell, will be joining the cast of “Heroes” this season.

Former Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell is set to join the cast of Heroes for the upcoming season. Bell, 27, had been rumored to be considering a role on Lost since the cancellation of Veronica Mars in the third season earlier this year, but chose Heroes instead. She will play Elle, a woman with mysterious links to two characters’ pasts, according to trade magazine Variety.

This should be good.
