Kristen Bell retained by the CW
“Veronica Mars” may be gone – god I hope not, but it ain’t looking good – but Kristen Bell’s being retrained by the CW, by the sounds.
According to The Cleveland Leader, the foxy TV private eye will narrate the network’s new series “Gossip Girl”. The show, from “OC” creator Joss Schwartz, is based on a series of teen novels… none of which I’m proud to say I’ve read.
Still, all May (Disclaimer : Whenever I use the word ‘May’ in a news item, I usually end up being wrong) not be lost for “Veronica Mars”. As Michael Ausiello says at TV Guide, “Last night at ABC’s upfront bash, a high-level Warner Bros. executive confirmed what I first reported yesterday: It’s entirely possible that the CW will delay a decision on Mars’ fate until after Thursday’s upfront. Contractually, the net has until June 15 to reach a verdict, and the extra time would allow Rob Thomas to produce an actual script for Veronica in the FBI. That’s one scenario. The other scenario is that the show is dead. I think we can all agree that Scenario 1 is preferable. One thing is certain: VM will not be on the schedule that Dawn Ostroff presents to advertisers on Thursday morning.”
Which it wasn’t.
