If HBO and Bravo had a baby and raised it in the Hollywood Hills, it would look suspiciously like the celebrity dating scene. Love in Tinseltown often reads like a season finale cliffhanger, complete with plot twists, surprise cameos, and glittering chaos. So when Kristen Bell pulled up a metaphorical lounge chair and cracked a joke about Hollywood unions to Adam Scott, it was less a punchline and more a perfect truth.
While Bravo dishes out televised drama, Kristen Bell insists Hollywood serves it live, complete with steam, sequins, and a rotating cast of romantically entangled co-stars.
