Kristen Bell recently turned 30, and she loved it! (Not me, I freaking panicked!) But Kristen insists she’s happier than ever, especially since becoming engaged to actor/comedian Dax Shepard. She talks with Parade Magazine about these latest milestones:

On recently turning 30.

“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.”

What’s she’s looking forward to most in her next decade.

“Anything and everything that my 30s have to throw at me. Part of the great place that I’m in is that I’m not planning as much anymore. I have goals, but my main goal is just to be happy. And if I plan everything out I just feel that’s what crazes your brain and messes you up and makes you feel like a failure. Wherever you are right now is OK. That’s kind of been my mantra.”

Finding comfort in her engagement to Dax Shepard.

“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.”

They’re not your typical Hollywood couple.

“I’m definitely a homebody. I don’t know if I’ve been to a club in the last seven years, at least not one that I was forced to go to because it was for a friends’ birthday party. I’m not much for the club atmosphere, but I don’t drink so that may have something to do with it! I love to cook and I have a garden at home and I’m much more like a 1950s housewife, I think.”

Emma Roberts will play Sidney Prescott’s cousin Jill, while Hayden will play Jill’s best friend, Kirby. Brody will play newly appointed Detective Hoss, and Mad Men’s Brie will play Sidney’s personal assistant who’s jealous of Sidney.

Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, along with original cast members Courteney Cox and David Arquette.

The Scream trilogy was a huge success, earning almost $300 million. Scream 4 which is being filmed in Michigan, is expected to hit theaters in April 2011. Rumor has it there will be a second trilogy – with Scream 5 and Scream 6 to follow the 4th.

Kristen Bell became engaged to Dax Shepard over the holidays. Check out her engagement ring!

Kristen Bell is engaged to Dax Shepard, her rep confirms to UsMagazine.com exclusively.

Shepard, 35, proposed over the holidays, a source tells Us.

Bell, 29, debuted her ring on the red carpet of the Grammys Sunday night.

The couple first stepped out publicly in January 2008.

Bell detailed her perfect date night with Shepard in the November issue of Women’s Health.

“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,” she said.

She joked that they were competitive while filming romantic comedy When in Rome, currently in theaters.

“We were trying to one-up each other,” she said. “That’s what we do at home, too. It’s like, ‘Wait – watch me do this funny bit.’ ‘No, watch me do this funny bit!.”

The secret to their relationship?

“I’ve learned the necessity for healthy communication. How important it is to talk about your deepest, darkest fears and feelings,” she says. “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 added.

I really don’t like the two-part dress. Looks weird.
