To a nation not used to the force of nature that is Russell Brand, it must be strange meeting him for the first time. In Forgetting Sarah Marshall he stars alongside Veronica Mars star Kristen Bell. And the Michigan-born actress admits Brand’s much-hyped prowess with the ladies preceded him.

“Obviously, I’d heard of his reputation with women, but when we were filming our sex scenes he was so sweet,” the 27-year-old says.

“I think he has a control switch, I really do. I think he can dial himself up and down. He can be incredibly subdued. He loves entertaining people, though, and when he’s on, he’s on. But he can be kind of quiet.”

Bell plays a TV actress who dumps her slob boyfriend, played by Jason Segel, for Brand’s rock god Aldous Snow. With Kristen being slightly nervous and the pair barely knowing more than each other’s names, she and Brand were told to get naked and film a sex scene together.

“Russell and I were actually thrown into a room six days after we met,” she explains.

“They said, ‘Go into the hotel bedroom and find 10 different awkward sexual positions.’ Russell and I both do yoga so we were like, ‘Well, OK’. And this is what we do for a living, so it’s just part of the job.

“Luckily I’m very comfortable with Russell and, despite his image of being such a ladies’ man, he’s really kind, protective and very comfortable and sweet.”

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is released today.

At least two celebrities are shunning the sun for skin cancer awareness.

Marcia Cross of “Desperate Housewives” is promoting the joint campaign between the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and beauty brand Olay for a free skin-cancer screening program, while Kristen Bell of the upcoming “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” has pledged to get her glow from a bottle.

Bell signed on to the Glow in the Dark campaign on the Jergens.com website. For every similar pledge made by the public, Jergens - known for its Natural Glow self-darkening skin products - donates $1 to The Skin Care Foundation.

“It’s an oxymoron to say you’ve got a healthy tan,” says Bell, 27. “You want to glow.” Read the full story

CLEARLY Kristen Bell ordered a double shot of ebullience in her coffee. Exuding a somewhat crazed sense of enthusiasm (take note, Lindsay Lohan and co), Bell is abuzz when we meet in Los Angeles.

Poignantly, our coffee is in an out-of-the-way chain attached to a local cinema complex in The Valley, when this rising star lets fly with her experiences of the entertainment industry.

Most of the focus is on her work with Judd Apatow in the new comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which opens here this month.

It’s poignant in the sense that Bell is arguably Hollywood’s most grounded actress.
She effortlessly flits between television and film.

A glitzy bar or the fishbowl-like attributes of Sunset Boulevard’s coffee strip - so often the setting for similar meetings - would seem strange, at odds with Bell’s world, which is refreshingly devoid of PAs and publicists.

Eyeing an elderly gentleman gently shuffling past, Bell begins.

“Is it just me, or do you actually begin to look more and more like a Fraggle after the age of 70?”

Bell, 27, means no harm but her comment allows some insight into her unique sense of humour.

“Sorry, I think I’m funnier than I am,” she says.

Bell proves every bit as engaging and offbeat as her best-known role, Veronica Mars.

The character she played as a modern-day television Nancy Drew catapulted her into the spotlight, positioning her firmly in Hollywood’s sights. Read the full story
