Kristen Bell: Russell Brand Is 'A Really Good Guy'

Kristen Bell carries a United Nations water bottle while leaving an office building on Tuesday (April 19) in Hollywood.

The 30-year-old Scream 4 star recently defended Russell Brand after some critics questioned whether he could be a leading man.

“Not everybody gets him, and they don’t have to. Not everybody got Richard Pryor, but he’s still one of the best comedians out there,” Kristen told the L.A. Times about her Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-star.

“If you make something that nobody hates, then nobody loves it. And I think that’s a really good rule to live by. [Russell] elicits emotions out of people, and whether you like it or not - whether he’s too daring for you or not - I think he’s a really good guy,” she added.

FYI: Kristen is wearing the Contrast Wedge in Navy and White and carrying the Tallis Satchel and Tallis Bifold Wallet by Tory Burch.

Gwyneth Paltrow Covers 'Good Housekeeping' February 2011

Gwyneth Paltrow is all smiles on the cover of Good Housekeeping magazine’s February 2011 issue.

Here’s what the 38-year-old Country Strong actress had to share:

On why she’s seldom photographed with husband Chris Martin: “If I’m looking grumpy in public or if Chris and I leave a restaurant separately, it’s only because we don’t want to encourage photographers.”

On Chris: “I can depend on him. He makes me laugh. He’s really appreciative of me. You know, he makes me feel special.”

On fighting post-partum depression after son Moses‘ birth: “I felt like a zombie. I couldn’t access my heart. I couldn’t access my emotions. I couldn’t connect. It was terrible, it was the exact opposite of what had happened when Apple was born. With her, I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t the same. I just thought it meant I was a terrible mother and a terrible person.”

On learning to play guitar for Country Strong: “It was so much fun to pick up a new skill. I can be a perfectionist, so I really practiced. And between Chris’s help and the director needing me to be prepared, I was totally ready when the time came.”
