But... but... WHY?!?

GYAH! According to Meg Cabot's (usually totally awesome, but in this case quite depressing) blog, Kristen Bell, star of my beloved Veronica Mars, has agreed to play Lizzie Nichols, the main character in Cabot's profoundly silly Queen of Babble series!

Why, Kristen Bell? Haven't you read these books? Couldn't you star as one of Cabot's other heroines? (Seriously, they're all better than Lizzie Nichols.)
