Anna Faris was joined by her co-stars Emma Stone, Katharine McPhee and Rumer Willis at a NYC screening of their new movie The House Bunny (which was sponsored by CosmoGIRL! magazine) at the Hearst Tower last night … here are a few pics from the premiere screening’s red carpet:

I’ve already mentioned profusely how excited I am for this movie to come out … I’m deffo planning on getting my butt to the theater this Friday for opening night. I am encouraged that it stars Anna Faris (because she is insanely funny) and that the movie was written by the same person who wrote the screenplay for Legally Blonde (and we all know how that turned out). Emma Stone is another actress that doesn’t get enough love, I think. She’s also very funny and she has always reminded me of a mix between Anna Faris (in funniness) and Melissa Joan Hart (in looks). Having her in the movie only makes it more appealing. I dunno what to think about having an American Idol runner-up (McPhee) and Rumer Willis (no comment) in the flick but … still, it looks really funny. Oh and BTW, when did Anna Faris get so hot? She looks amazing.

Anna Faris, the star of the upcoming new comedy The House Bunny, is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of Playboy magazine … tho, unlike some other Playboy covergirls, Anna stays fully clothed and does not appear in the mag’s centerfold with a staple thru her belly-button. In the mag, she opens up about her self-esteem issues and a bit about her raunchy comedic talents:

Anna Faris plays a Playboy bunny in the upcoming film The House Bunny and posed (clothed) for the September cover of Playboy magazine – but she says she wasn’t always so eager to show off her physique. In high school, “I felt unattractive, short and self-conscious about my body, and I would purposely emphasize that by doing odd things,” Faris, 31, tells Playboy. “I wore glasses, braces, odd hairdos and dumpy clothes. I was clumsy and awkward. When I was a freshman I wore a Christmas tree skirt as a cape. I couldn’t get any dates until senior year.” That’s not really a problem anymore for Faris, who was divorced from her husband, Ben Indra, in February. Neither are raunchy comedy roles – which even her parents are used to now. “When I went with my parents and brother to see Scary Movie at a Seattle strip mall the opening weekend, I was like, ‘Mom, there’s going to be a couple of points when I’m going to need you to go to the bathroom or get me popcorn. Just obey me,’” she says. “Now I’ve totally broken them in.”

Without a doubt, The House Bunny looks like it’s going to be the funniest movie of the summer, at least to me. When I first saw the trailer earlier this year I couldn’t stop laughing … there are so many things in the trailer that are laugh out loud, riotously hilarious (like, the trick she employs to remember people’s names, for example). Anna is one of my fave comedic actresses … she is very good at what she does and I don’t think she gets the attention and lurve that she deserves. I am planning on seeing The House Bunny the day it opens … tho, I might pass on picking up this issue of Playboy ;)
