Faris Wandered Around Playboy Mansion For Research

Sexy ANNA FARIS researched her role as a Playboy outcast in new comedy HOUSE BUNNY by wandering around HUGH HEFNER's famous Holmby Hills, California mansion.

In the film, the Lost In Translation star 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.

"I checked out the grotto, but I didn't go in. There's the old addage you might get pregnant."

And Faris is planning a return trip - House Bunny's premiere party will be held at the Playboy Mansion.

She giggles, "I'm taking my mum."
