Damn Kristen Bell is hot. It's her confidence. I'm attracted to her confidence. Yes, she's smoking hot, but just her attitude towards life is great. She's not even a b*tch either!

Speaking of the Astro Boy movie, anyone looking forward to it? Haven't really seen much hype or advertising for the movie so I have no idea what to expe ... KRISTEN BELL WILL YOU MARRY ME?! PLEASE?! I HAVE BODY HAIR TO OFFER YOU!
