Anna’s latest movie, The House Bunny, won the box office on it’s opening day with $5.9 million, and finished as number two in it’s opening weekend. As a surprise-hit (according to the critics), the movie earned a solid $15.1 million from 2,714 venues. It even had a venue average of $5,564 - the best in the top twelve!

While The House Bunny came in at only 42% fresh at RottenTomatoes, Faris got good reviews, and despite the low score, it ties Death Race as the best reviewed opener of the weekend. This is great news for both Anna and The House Bunny! Below follows some tidbits from various reviews.

Not only is Anna Faris one of the more brightly gifted comediennes working today, she’s some sort of miracle worker. How else can one explain the ability to sit through something that emerged from Fred Wolf and not have the urge to run screaming from the theater? That Anna Faris is amazing.

Today is the day we’ve anticipated ever since we first heard of the project - The House Bunny premieres in US cinemas (with the rest of the world following soon!)! To celebrate the release, I’ve uploaded over 32 photos from the movie for your viewing pleasure! Simply press on the arrows/numbers below to see more photos. Be sure to go and see Anna Faris as the former Playboy Mansion resident Shelley today!

When Shelley, a Playboy bunny, is tossed out of the mansion, she has nowhere to go until she falls in with the sorority girls from Zeta Tau Zeta. The members of the sorority - who also have got to be the seven most socially clueless women on the planet - are about to lose their house. They need a dose of what only the eternally bubbly Shelley can provide… but they will each learn on their own to stop pretending to be what others want them to be and start being themselves

Yesterday, Anna Faris and the rest of the cast of The House Bunny were walking the pink carpet outside the Mann Village Theatre during the Los Angeles premiere of the movie. Anna looked ravishing in a floor-lenght, white dress, as she posed for photographers and fans. The House Bunny premieres in US cinemas tomorrow.

As previously mentioned, Anna Faris and the rest of the cast of The House Bunny (Emma Stone, Katherine McPhee and Rumer Willis) appeared on MTV’s Total Request Live yesterday. They were, of course, talking about the movie and how fun it was to film. Hopefully a video of the interview will be available soon, too!

Here’s a video from the red carpet of CosmoGIRL!’s special screening of The House Bunny. The event was held on August 18th, and Anna Faris and the rest of the cast were there to celebrate.

Also, don’t forget to tune in to MTV today as Anna and the cast of The House Bunny will appear on Total Request Live!

Below is the video for the first song from The House Bunny’s soundtrack. It’s called “I Know What Boys Like” (remember when that was going to be the title of the movie?) and it’s recorded by American Idol contestant/actress Katharine McPhee, with guest-raps from Emma Stone, Rumer Willis and Kat Dennings.

The video even features a cameo by Anna Faris and some clips from the movie.

Anna Faris and the cast of The House Bunny attended a special screening of the movie yesterday, hosted by CosmoGIRL!. Anna looked glamorous as she walked the small, red carpet in a black and white dress. Photos from the event can be viewed below.

The promotion tour for the upcoming comedy The House Bunny - hitting US cinemas on August 22nd - has started for real! Yesterday Anna was seen outside the MTV Studios where she taped an episode for Total Request Live. Although I’m not a big fan of the outfit, Anna herself looked great, as per usual.

Anna Faris researched her role as a Playboy outcast in new comedy The House Bunny by wandering around Hugh Hefner’s famous Holmby Hills, California mansion. In the film, Faris plays a Playboy regular who becomes a sorority mother at college after she’s kicked out of the mansion. And to get a feel for life at Hefner’s fabled pad, Faris spent time there.

She says, “There are peacocks wandering around and beautiful girls and oddly placed bottles of baby oil, without any babies in sight. I checked out the grotto, but I didn’t go in. There’s the old addage you might get pregnant.”

Faris is planning a return trip - The House Bunny’s premiere party will be held at the Playboy Mansion. She giggles, “I’m taking my mum.”

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.”
