Although she may look glam on the red carpet, that’s not where she feels most confident!

Hollywoodlife.com got to catch up with Kristen Bell at the Marshall’s and Dress for Success fashion show in NYC on Apr. 28, where the starlet said although she feels, “empowered on the red carpet,” that’s not what she feels her best! “Truthfully, sweats and a wife beater,” she said. “But that’s just because that’s usually when I’m at home and I feel very empowered when I’m domesticated.” Aw Kristen, it sounds like you’re going to make a great wife!

When it comes to celeb style, Kristen says she admires Sarah Jessica Parker, because she likes her, “Ability to take risks and not make them seem too trendy or too outrageous. She is bold but in a very understated way,” she said. “I also really like Katherine Hepburn because I love menswear, it’s really comfortable! And Audrey Hepburn as well, cause I love the nautical feel of almost everything she wore and the vaguely equestrian style I like.”

She may look great when she gets glam, but at the end of the day Kristen really is just like us — she feels most confident when she’s comfortable!

The ‘Dear John’ actress – who began dating the actor in 2008 after meeting on the set of ‘Mamma Mia!’ – is reluctant to say whether she sees a long-term future with her current beau but is very happy with their relationship at the moment because he makes her laugh so much.

She said: “I don’t know if Dominic’s ‘The One’, but he’s the funniest person I’ve met – and that’s major in my book.”

The couple currently have a long-distance relationship, with Amanda in New York and Dominic in London, but the blonde beauty admits they make a huge effort to see each other on a regular basis.

Amanda – whose ‘Dear John’ alter ego, Savannah Curtis, rarely sees her soldier boyfriend John Tyree, played by Channing Tatum – told Look magazine: “I’d never be able to date a soldier, no matter how in love I was. I couldn’t stand it.

“Me and Dominic have a three-week rule. Channing taught me that. If Dominic and I went longer than a month-and-a-half, it would be over.

“But the plus point is, you don’t really have time to get sick of each other!”

What girl hasn’t dreamed of designing her own shoes? This Tuesday Kristen Bell finally got to live out that fantasy–and it was all in the name of a good cause. Joining 25 young patients in the playroom at L.A.’s Shriners Hospitals for Children, the actress put pen to paper and sketched her first-ever heel for a charity initiative with online shoe society ShoeDazzle. “I’ve never designed in my life,” she admitted to PEOPLE, but luckily her new young friends were on hand to weigh in. The end result? A faux-leather gladiator-bootie, which Bell dubbed “The Midge.”

Kristen’s shoe will be produced for Kim Kardashian’s online shoe club ShoeDazzle later in the summer, with 100% of proceeds benefitting Art of Elysium, a nonprofit program that brings actors and musicians into the lives of seriously ill children. “I’m in a profession of vanity, so this is grounding for me, and I hope fun for the kids,” she explained of spending the day with the children, who also did a lot of playing, painting and drawing of their own. Kristen’s shoe will hit ShoeDazzle.com next August, but in the meantime, check out her sketch of “The Midge” below. “You can wear these anywhere,” said Bell, “and hopefully they’ll be comfortable.”

We were all shocked by the pictures of the displaced Haitians following the horrific earthquake earlier this year. The TV, newspapers and magazines were full of images of the millions of people affected by the 7M earthquake. Countless children were orphaned and starving. The streets were littered with people left homeless.

Kristen Bell did what came naturally to her. She flew over to the capital to help at a time the clear up operation still goes on and the Haitians still struggle on.

With Summit Series, the actress helped out with the Life Straw operation back in March. Over 1,000 Life Straws and $10,000 in Staples school supplies were distributed. Kristen played with the children and helped bring smiles to their faces. And who wouldn't smile at Kristen? She's awesome.

Amanda Seyfried had admitted that she has trust issues.

The Dear John star — who’s currently hunky British actor Dominic Cooper — admits she used to check her boyfriend’s mobile phone.

“I have quite an imagination and my other half has a reputation for being quite… charming,” Amanda confessed.

“I found things are messy. Now they’re finally cleared up and I don’t miss the mess. I’m very comfortable right now and that might get old but it feels healthy.

“Now I’d never go near it [his mobile].

“He’ll be in the shower and I’ll see his phone sitting there and it’s like a bomb. That’s how scared I am because I don’t want to know, I just don’t want to know. If there’s something that needs to be said I’ll trust that it will be put out on the table.

“In this industry there are a lot of parties and a lot of beautiful people. I personally don’t really like to socialize that way…. Dominic grew up in a different culture and he likes to go these parties and enjoy himself, so that’s hard because I wouldn’t be caught dead [out,] like every night.”

Seyfried also admitted that she never dated when she was at school. The star said, "I was mates with the girls who were popular and we're all still friends today. But I was actually pretty busy during high school - I was working in New York a lot - so I wasn't popular. And no guys wanted to date me. I was weird!"
