Kristen Bell loves "Jersey Shore" and the cast of the MTV series that has brought East Coast Italian Guido style to the masses. 
 
Parade.com interviewed Kristen Bell, where the You Again star gets candid about turning 30, life at home with fiancé Dax Shepard, her obsession with Jersey Shore and more!

On recently turning 30.

KB: "I love 30 more than I've ever loved anything. I feel like I was born on my 30th birthday. It's finally the time where I've fully accepted and loved myself, which I'm realizing more and more each day -- it is so important to love yourself. Because if you don't love yourself than nothing really matters. For a long time, I went through life kind of beating myself up and trying to be a perfectionist and do everything right and I just thought, 'What's the point?' I have faults, that's fine. I can still strive to be better, but I'm not going to be as rough on myself as I used to and it's just kind of alleviating all of this stress and kind of taken a weight off my shoulders and I think now I'm just happy."

Finding comfort in her engagement to Dax Shepard.

KB: "I never loved dating. I think it's very uncomfortable to put yourself out there and be vulnerable. I'm much more comfortable in a relationship and I'm very happy."

GTL is her guilty pleasure.

KB: "I'm always DVR'ing Jersey Shore I've never been ashamed to admit that. I probably should be ashamed to admit that, but I'm not. I think that it's one of the greatest disasters to ever come to television and I just love the lessons they learn each week and the trouble they get into."

Can she imagine having a career like Betty's at 88?

KB: "I don't think anyone will do it as good as Betty White. She is working right now because she is good at it and because she wants to. I think that's the key to success in any field, if you want to keep doing it. If I'm still happy working when I'm 88, then absolutely I'll still work. But if I just want to be on a beach somewhere in a one-piece bathing suit and giant straw hat, then that'll be what will happen."

Will Kristen’s  character in Scream 4 suffer a fate like Drew Barrymore's in the first flick?

KB: "It doesn't go down like you think it does. But it was fun doing it, that's what I'll say. I loved being a part of the movie."
