Yesterday we brought you an exclusive clip from the upcoming comedy "The House Bunny," which finds Anna Faris as a Playboy bunny booted from the mansion and forced to take up residence as House Mother for a local sorority. This week as part of our lead-up to the MTV Movie Awards on June 1st, we followed Faris and co-stars Emma Stone and Katharine McPhee to a local nail salon where the girls acted their most adorable and funny and cute. Yes, we love them. Watch the video below to see why.

Katharine McPhee on the set of 'I Know What Boys Like'Sometime next year, the Anna Faris flick "I Know What Boys Like" will not only introduce the funnylady's newest chiropractor, but it will also mark the Hollywood debuts of two red-hot musicians: Katharine McPhee and Tyson Ritter. When we recently visited the set of the Playboy bunny comedy, we watched the duo compare notes about on-stage versus on-camera performances.

"This is very different," explained McPhee, looking around a set that included Faris, Colin Hanks, Emma Stone and Rumer Willis.

Well, we were the first ones to report the most recent name for the currently filming, funny-sounding Anna Faris movie, so let's try this one more time.

The "Scary Movie" actress is hard at work on what is now called "I Know What Boys Like," formerly known as "House Bunny." Produced by Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison production team, the film co-stars Katharine McPhee, Emma Stone and Colin Hanks.

Faris stars in the film as Shelley, a Hugh Hefner bunny who gets tossed out of the fabled Playboy mansion and ends up getting a job as a house mother to the lamest sorority on a nearby college campus. Now leading the Zeta Alpha Zeta chicks, Shelley must help the seven socially inept gals from losing their house. In true "Legally Blonde" fashion (the script is written by "Blonde" masterminds Karen McCullah Lutz & Kirsten Smith), Shelley uses her eternally bubbly attitude to hatch a plan that could save the day while simultaneously teaching each of them about the importance of being true to oneself.
