Here's another one to file under "just a matter of time." With the parade of former Veronica Mars cast members growing ever longer on Rob Thomas' new show, Party Down, we knew Veronica herself couldn't be far behind...
At the Miss Sixty show during Fashion Week, Kristen told us, "I'm about to guest star on Rob Thomas' new show, called Party Down. It's on Starz...a lot of old Veronica Mars people are on it and some really cool comedians like Adam Scott." The network confirms that yes, "Kristen Bell will be appearing in our new original comedy series, Party Down, premiering on Friday, March 20." (E! Online)
Well sure, it wouldn't be a VM party without Kristen Bell. We're really hoping this show is good (although, we don't have Starz! so how will we watch it? Maybe on Netflix?). We like the premise -- a group of misfit LA caterers that get themselves in and out of various scrapes during events raging "from sweet-16 affairs to gay weddings to mobster acquittal parties to porn awards" (E! Online) -- and we think it wise of Rob Thomas to attempt a show so different from Veronica Mars given that the comparisons are bound to be endless. Also, how many times has a show you liked been cancelled, and you've wished the cast would just band together and move right on to another show en masse? Think about it Boston Legal, think about it.
