Kristen Bell has the perfect TV role. And, no, it’s not the one you see her in, it’s the one you hear her in.

The former “Veronica Mars” star has joined the cast of “Heroes.” (After
appearing for the first time last week, you’ll see her next when her
character returns in the Nov. 5 episode.)

But you can hear Bell in each and every episode of The CW’s “Gossip Girl.” She’s the voice of the unseen narrator.

“It’s sort of an easy deal for me because it’s not on camera,” Bell
told TV critics in a conference call. “And I’ve always dreamt about
having a job where I could go and show up in my jammies.”

At the very least, it’s a job that doesn’t require her to worry about hair and makeup.

“‘Gossip Girl’s’ been great,” Bell said. “I mean, I’ve known (executive
producer) Josh Schwartz for a little bit and was sort of happy when
they wanted me involved in it…. I love and support Josh, and it’s
been a lot of fun.”

The show revolves around a group of rich prep-school kids on the Upper
East Side of Manhattan. They’re 21st-century teens, so they’re
completely plugged in to the Internet. And the never-seen Gossip Girl
is the person behind a Web site that dishes all the dirt about the
teenagers in this crowd.
