Kristen Bell And Cast Of 'Veronica Mars' Tell Us What's Next

Now that "Veronica Mars" has been in theaters and on demand for a full weekend, what's next for the detective franchise? While at SXSW we asked Kristen Bell, Rob Thomas (creator of the show and movie) and the rest of the cast just what they thought would be coming up. "I would just do just about anything," Bell told us. "It would great to do a franchise of movies, we have a bit more creativity in film than we do on television. But if one day it comes back as some sort of a series, I would be involved as well." And Thomas has even more ambitious ideas in mind. "Big picture, I feel like Nancy Drew had a good 70 year run, and I would like to replace her," Thomas joked. "Honestly, I hope on some level, dream of dreams that Veronica would become an iconic fictional detective, and she could be spun off in any number of ways." In fact, Thomas is spinning off "Veronica Mars" into a series of novels starting with "The Ten Thousand Dollar Tan Line" on March 25. The book picks up right after the movie, and if everything goes well could be the launching pad for the next movie, as well. "The novels that we're doing, those could very well end up being future 'Veronica Mars' plots," Thomas continued. "I'm really taking care with the plotting of those, and I'm going to try and make it a continuous universe. So those novels don't exist in some parallel universe, but in Veronica's timeline." Thomas added that he hopes "Veronica Mars" becomes a "mini Bond franchise," releasing a new film every two or three years, though not for $100 million like the "Bond" films. "The affordable franchise, is what I'd like to be," Thomas quipped. Bell meanwhile ultimately leaves the decision up to the people who revived the show in the first place. "I would want to know what the fans want, to be honest," Bell said. "I don't say that insincerely. As an artist, you want to do things that your audience likes and wants and appreciates and gets excited about." And on the other end of the spectrum, actor Chris Lowell has a completely different idea on where his character should go next. "Veronica Mars and Piz in space," Lowell joked. "Why are we even talking about this? Piz in space. I mean, that's it. Who's not going to see that movie?" "Veronica Mars" is now in theaters.

‘All-Star Celebrity Apprentice’ review: Omarosa cries, Dennis Rodman impresses

Is there something in the water on “All-Star Celebrity Apprentice”? Maybe the collective experience of some of these people on reality TV has led to us have some preconceived notions about the people on this show. For one, we expected Omarosa to be completely and totally tough-as-nails. However, she completely broke down this week after winning Project Manager, and it was one of the most emotional moments we’ve ever seen on this show. Meanwhile, who saw Dennis Rodman the game-player coming? After being a mess for his first time on the show, he may have really been the reason Omarosa’s team won. He was smart enough to ask the question to Universal Orlando during the meetings about whether or not they should use celebrities as a selling point, and this was really what guided them along the right path while Dee Snider’s team faltered. The whole North Korea thing aside, we really want to see Dennis do well on this season. He’s an interesting guy who clearly has some business savvy, but is often misunderstood.Before we get into the firing, we have to take issue for a minute with what La Toya Jackson accused Omarosa of doing after her challenge win: using her fiance’s passing as a means to get sympathy and advance in the game. Does she not realize that taping for this show began just around six weeks after Michael Clarke Duncan’s death, and that this would be very much on her mind? What a horrible thing to say, and we don’t care what your preconceived notions of Omarosa are. This would be like someone accusing La Toya a couple of months after Michael’s death of using him for some sort of benefit, and we do not believe anyone would really have the gall to say something like that. It was just unseemly, and you cannot just assume the worst of Omarosa because she’s the villain. In getting back to the actual firing itself, it was clear to us that (shocker!) Gary Busey really should have been sent home. He’s not much of a team player, he acts a little creepy around guests from time to time, and we don’t really know at the end of the day if he’s going to help in the long-term. However, Trump’s love for the Busey continues, and we are pretty sure the man refuses to do anything about this guy until at least week 4. Instead, the Donald went for the easy route and fired Dee, mostly because he was the Project Manager and he had a brilliant idea from under his nose that he didn’t bother to use.
