When I met up with Kristen Bell (love that I get to say that) earlier this month to interview her about House of Lies, there was a moment when I broached the subjects of favorite cuddly critters with the animal lover.

That's when she launched into an adorable essay about the wonders of sloths.

The Best Lie Kristen's Ever Told

"I Google Baby Sloths maybe 2-3 times a week," she told me. "I've been obsessed with sloths for as long as I can remember. They must be my spirit animal or something. There's nothing cuter than a baby sloth. It doesn't exist in my opinion. OK, maybe a slow Loris. Maybe. On a good day. And if it's a baby slow loris," she gushed to me in a hilarious stream of consciousness that a print interview truly fails to capture.

Thankfully she brought this unbridled animal enthusiasm -- and a video tape -- to the Ellen show yesterday. Not going to lie, I cried from laughing so hard seeing her cry from loving so hard when talking about baby sloths. So watch Kristen lose it, big time, in a video that should turn everyone into a flag waving member of Team Bell!
