Kristen Bell of ’Veronica Mars’ Named the AIM Best TV Buddy

AIM Users Most Want to Add Popular Television Actress to Their Buddy Lists.

DULLES, Va.,- AIM users overwhelmingly picked Kristen Bell as the person they’d most like to have on their AIM Buddy List, according to a tally of votes on AIM Today (http://aimtoday.aim.com). The ‘Veronica Mars’ star beat Hayden Panettiere, Alyson Hannigan, Alexis Bledel and Rachel Bilson for top honors in the Best TV Buddy contest.

“I’m flattered that my fans would want me on their Buddy Lists,” Bell said. “AIM is my lifeline to friends and family when I’m on the ‘Veronica Mars’ set, since cell phones aren’t allowed during filming.”

Bell plays the title role on ‘Veronica Mars’ – a show about a smart, fearless college freshman with a knack for private investigation. She has also appeared in several TV shows and films, including the independent film ‘50 Pills’ and the sci-fi thriller ‘Pulse,’ and is currently filming ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall.’ ‘Veronica Mars’ returns to The CW with an all-new episode on Tuesday, May 1, at 9:00pm ET / 8:00pm CT.
