Of course, and the ones we've gone out for. We've auditioned for these roles a million times and been turned down a million times for the same roles in the non-spoof films.

"She's All That" bitch, "Bring it On" bitch, the bitch - period. In all thesemovies, these bad teen movies, my character is made up of the movies in thelast five or six years, not the John Hughes films. My character is soover the top, but it's just funny to me. The whole point of this film ispeople are like, "So, this is a teen movie?" No, did you not read the title?It's "Not Another Teen Movie." We're catering to the baby boomer generation aswell because of the John Hughes films.

No, they're not - they were our generation growing up in the 80s, however our parentswatched them with us because it was the time when we were watching movieswith our parents.

It was a time when, if you think about all the movies from before, you won't really hear parents talking too much about "She's All That" or "Bring it On," but they all remember "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller."

And that's the reason because the movies that have been written in the past five or six years have been typical, poorly written, "let's just stick with same concept, just get a good look on there" films. Adults hate them.

And the crazy thing is - I don't know why the actors allowthem to do it in the first place. They pigeonhole actors because theykeep getting them to play, offering them the same role over and over andover, just rewording the same damn thing. It's really hard to say no tomoney but you have to. Everything happens for a reason. I did get all thosecharacters because now I'm making fun of all those characters in onecharacter in one movie. And I think our movie is 150 times better than allof them. Not the John Hughes films, I mean the ones in the last five or sixyears. They're awful.

That's the coolest thing because I play the token black guy and a couple of the guys who have played black guys in the movies are my friends. They're going to look at this like, "Damn, he's doing me" (laughing). But it's cool because the sad thing about it is, you can't remember them right now. You can't remember who they are, what their names are. But I'm going to be remembered forever for being the "token black guy." I didn't get any of the roles I was supposed to get, that I was supposed to be the token black guy. That's going to be the best thing about this role for me.

We're setting the tone. We're trying to stop all the BS films, not single-handedly or anything. If the film does as well as we'd like it to, then I think it will definitely change a couple of minds, especially in the industry.

No, not really. They were all made up, it was just more like how to say them. I wanted to stay away from the real phrases we say today. I just wanted to make fun of it as much as we could. It can't be cool. It has to be bad.

Because of my deep voice and my street-like [aura]. I've been on my ownsince I was 15, so I've got that tough girl tomboy [thing]. I'm a Leo.People just didn't see me as this sweet, vulnerable, innocent girl. They sawme as the strong, tough whatever who could play the bitch well. And bitchesare fun to play. They really are.

I didn't want to take my clothes off. It's easy to say no. I wasn't supposedto in the first film I did, "Poison Ivy." I was supposed to show thesilhouette of my left boob while I'm changing, putting my shirt on and youwere supposed to see me swimming in a G-string bikini, so you saw my butt. Nowthere's what? Six or seven scenes where you see my boobs and my butt. Theytried to use lower frontal nudity at one point and I ran off set, called mylawyer. This is the very first film I ever did, okay. I was 18 and 19 yearsold. Knowing that I didn't know what I was doing at the time, I didn't knowthat I could say, "No, I don't want to do that. No, it wasn't in the nudityclause." I had no idea. My manager was new, who I'm still with. She was inGermany for the three weeks I was filming, so it was a big learning lessonfor me and I don't regret it because I learned what I can and cannot do,what I do and do not have to do and what I can and cannot say no to. So, Ilearned a lot of lessons and unfortunately a lot of women get started in thebusiness that way. It's unfortunate but true.

As long as it didn't have to do with some huge sex scene. As long as it'snot "Poison Ivy," yeah. It's got to be the right movie, the right peoplesurrounding me and the right script and character. I'm not afraid of it, Ijust don't want to use it for blatant like, "We need ratings, here's my tits." I'm not going to do that. That movie was strictly T&A and the only way to sell it was to show my T&A which is why they did that. I didn't realize allthat stuff until after the fact, but now I know.

"Maxim's" very different. "Maxim's" okay now because I had done two things onthe inside of "Maxim." In the last two or three years I've been one of their100 girls. It's become such a big ordeal, everyone has their top 100 girls."FHM," "Maxim," "Stuff," all of them. It's quite ridiculous because I look inthere and I'm like, "Okay, really? What is she doing there?" It's like"People's" 50 Most Beautiful People of the Year. You're like, "Who the hell isthat and why on earth?" But I like "Maxim" because A) it's a good magazine.Great articles in it. It's kind of like "Playboy." There are good articles init. There really are. Girls say yes to these things and they dothese things on their own. No one forces them to. I'm not putting anybodydown because they said so, just like Freddie Prinze said, "Sure, I'll go dothe same part five times." They'll take the check, it's their deal. However,I did the cover of "Stuff."

They were trying to change the face of "Maxim" for the December issue orwhatever and we did a Helmut Newton-type shoot where everything was blackand white. It was the first time they'd ever done that, and the first short-haired cover they'd ever done. They wanted to put extensions on me and I'm like, "Well, I'll leave right now. I cut my hair for a reason. I'm not goingto be in the bombshell category anymore. I don't want to be." People aregoing to put me in that anyway just because that's them, but I chopped myhair for myself, but also so that everybody would realize that I'm nottrying to hide behind my hair. There's more to me than my long, blonde hairand my little dancer body. I want to be able to do other things and theywere pigeonholing me so badly because of that, that is was ridiculous. "Maxim" is not a bad magazine."Stuff" is not a bad magazine. I did two covers last year of "Stuff." Theypigeonholed me into the second cover. It was one that I did with five or sixother girls but we shot them individually and then they put us in for amovie. The movie never came out here. It ended up releasing in Europe. So,they pulled the thing but they wanted to use me on the cover instead, sothey held it. Meanwhile, I was supposed to do "Maxim" to promote "Joe Dirt" and"Tomcats" and couldn't do it. So, they released "Stuff" at the wrong timecalling me 'The Movie Girl of the Year' or something which is to make me feelbetter I guess about it.

I did it when I was 20. I did a celebrity pictorial. I'll never do it again. I don't have a problem with other people doing it, it's just something I don't want to do for myself. I've been there and done that, you know.

It came up because in the second one, I was her body double. That's how theyfound me for the third one. Every time Alyssa is reading Ivy's diary, shesees pictures in there, as she's reading it and imagining Ivy, that's me.You don't see my face, but that's me and as she's looking at all thepictures, all the pictures are me, because Drew wasn't going to come and dosomething like that. So then a year and a half, two years later - [By theway], I love Drew Barrymore. I think she's great - but no, a year and ahalf, two years later that's how they found me. They couldn't find a girland they found my picture, an old picture and called me and said, "Are youacting or anything?" Because at the time I was modeling.

I just finished doing this movie, "Van Wilder: Party Liaison" with Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid. That's about it, just waiting for that to drop.

I have a development deal with ABC and Touchstone. We're developing a seriesthat will be released in the Fall of 2002. And while we were shooting thisfilm, I did a kids' film for my seven-year-old sister who cried and said,"How come I never get to see sissy do anything?" I did a kids' film with JonVoight, "Unleashed," and it's a talking dog and the whole thing. I'm not thelead which is okay, but at least Jessie, my sister, will [see it]. Sheliterally can't watch any of my stuff. "Jack and Jill" was past her bed time.
