The ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ star – who plays bad girl Nikki in the film alongside Cher and Christina Aguilera – was delighted to showcase a different side to her acting talents as the movie is so different to anything else she has ever done.

She told BANG Showbiz: “I wanted to be involved because it’s not like anything I’d ever done. It’s kind of out of my comfort zone. I’m very comfortable playing cute and bubbly and this is not all that! It really made you own your sexuality. It was challenging.”

Despite working with two huge musical divas in Cher and Christina, Kristin thought it was a harmonious set to work on because it was filled with “women who love women.”

She said: “They were fantastic to work with. I literally, I wish I had some dramatic story to share, but the women on this movie in particular are women that love other women so it was a really supportive atmosphere, it wasn’t like you’d picture, like a bunch of catfights like we had on screen!”

Check out some of the interview highlights below:

“Forgive me if I sound out of breath—I’m actually walking on the treadmill,” says Kristen Bell, on the phone from her home in Los Angeles. “I’m like a jackrabbit throughout the day and like to keep moving whenever I can. And this is better than just sitting on the couch for an hour, right?” This can-do attitude explains why she’s on SHAPE’s cover for the second time.

“I know SHAPE readers are always striving to find the next cool thing when it comes to diet and exercise, and I’m happy to share what I’ve learned.” On the eve of a milestone birthday—she’s 30—we spoke with Kristen and picked her brain about the practical but fun ways she keeps her mind, body, and spirit in tip-top shape.

Here are just a few…

Celebrate your age!
“I don’t subscribe to the idea that aging is a bad thing,” says Kristen. “I’m extremely optimistic about what lies ahead of me. Look at Glenn Close, Helen Mirren, and Meryl Streep: They’re the best at what they do, and beautiful too!”

Stay in tonight
Unless she has a premiere to attend, Kristen and her fiancé, Dax Shepard, prefer to hang out at home. “I have to do these events for my job, and I enjoy them, but on a daily basis, I’d rather get up early and go to bed early,” she says. “Our idea of an exciting night is cooking dinner for friends and playing board and card games. It may sound nerdy, but it’s fun!”

Save your pennies
Kristen’s always been thrifty. “I’m the only person I know who shows up at restaurants at 4:30 p.m. for the early bird special,” she admits. “One of my favorite websites is restaurants.com. You can get a $25 gift certificate for $10!”

Let words inspire you
“I leave stickies on my computer with quotes from Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln to help me when I need a bit of motivation,” says Kristen.
“But I always go back to Eleanor Roosevelt’s words: ‘It’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.’ That literally applies to every part of our lives, doesn’t it?”

The couple – who have been dating for around two years – are set to tie the knot after Dax proposed over the festive period.

Kristen’s representative said: “They got engaged over the holidays.”

The 29-year-old actress debuted her stunning ring as she presented an award at last night’s Grammys.

Kristen – who worked with Dax, 35, on romantic comedy ‘When in Rome’ – recently revealed her love life takes priority over her career.

She said: “I think your significant other should be way more important than your work, personally. I love working. But I don’t know that I’d say I’m a workaholic because I also love maxin’ and relaxin’.”

She also gave her top relationship tip – communication.

She added: “I’ve learned the necessity for healthy communication. How important it is to talk about your deepest, darkest fears and feelings. Your partner should hear your most embarrassing insecurities, because once you say them out loud, you’ve created a safe zone.

“And a snuggle party can fix anything – it’s true.”

She calls it “a hot mess of embarrassment that you want to lie in forever.”

On spending nights at home…

“There is almost nothing, barring a natural disaster, that I would let eat into my time at home, playing Scrabble with Dax or talking to my girlfriends. There’s packing your day and then there’s jam-packing your day, and I won’t do it anymore. I need to decompress. I need to feel like I’m a person— a human being—first.”
