What's Kristen Bell's Hotel Alias? Ask Ted Danson

Kristen Bell all dolled up in '80s Anchorage garb for her new film.

TV show character names must be the go-to aliases for celebs. We told you about Justin Bieber's hotel handle—Chandler Bing—and now we find out about another star's make-believe check-in name. Kristen Bell recently checked into an undisclosed Alaska hotel under the moniker Holly Frobisher.

It sounds like an innocent-sounding name. The Couples Retreat star stole it from the show Damages; it's the name of Ted Danson's character's wife. Again, no big deal. But it turns out that Danson was in the hotel lobby after she checked in.

The Teddy Bear House: A Plushophile's Dream Lodging

Where: 500 Dailey [map], Anchorage, AK, United States, 99519

If you September plans include a trip to Alaska to catch the Northern Lights, you may want to call ahead and book a room at The Teddy Bear House in Anchorage. This cozy cottage in the center of the "city" is conveniently located to the Seward Highway and downtown. Plus, it's unlike any other bed and breakfast we've seen. We'll give you one guess as to why. (Need a hint? It's all in the name.)

The Teddy Bear House has more than 500 of these plush animals displayed around the warm country inn's single and double occupancy rooms. Consider this a plushophile's ultimate paradise.

Their wandering eyes are weird at first, but owner Marge Quick makes her guests feel right at home. From car rides to the local grocery, to an at-home Alaska library, to homemade (and, if you're up early--made to order) breakfast, this place is southern hospitality in the heart of America's northwest.

And chances are good, when the group of hunters and fishers gather around the morning table, they'll share some bear stories of their own, from the woods of Alaska, rather than Marge's country kitchen. And trust us, even the most manly of mountain men enjoy the Teddy Bear House's girlish accommodations.
