Kristen Bell’s Single, Scared To Mingle

Gossip Girl narrator and recent addition to the cast of Heroes Kristen Bell spent last evening at the opening of Elie Tahari Boutique, chumming it up with Desperate Housewives actress Marcia Cross.

Kristen recently spoke to People magazine, telling that she has split up with her boyfriend Kevin Mann, and that she’s scared of dating.

In the interview, Bell said, “Dating is scary. When you are single, you have got to be accountable. You wake up in the morning and go to bed at night thinking about who you really are. It’s good. But dating is scary.”

Despite her fears, the former Veronica Mars star feels lucky to have the new group of castmates from Heroes to help her through the idle times.

Of her new co-stars, Kristen said, “We went bowling two weekends ago. Jack Coleman organized a big bowling extravaganza. They are just a really nice group of normal people, and I love them. I couldn’t have imagined a warmer welcome.”
