When it comes to marijuana, Michelle Trachtenberg just says no. So when longtime pal Topher Grace asked her to play a pothead in his upcoming 80s flick, Take Me Home Tonight, she had to study up.

"I play a goth stoner chick and I don't know anything about the weed," the Gossip Girl star, 25, told UsMagazine.com Tuesday at a fete celebrating her recent Maxim cover. "Really, I know nothing about it. So I had to do a little research."
The actress was quick to add her research didn't involve actually lighting up, just chatting up a few pals.

"I was talking with my friends, who are apparently a bunch of f--king stoners," she told Us.
The prep work for her Maxim cover was a bit more rigorous.
"I stopped eating," she joked of donning lingerie for the shoot. "No, I ate a lot. My favorite foods are bread and cheese, so I basically just limited eating those things from fives times a day to about twice a week. But only for ten days."

And post shoot? "Immediately after I wrapped on set I asked, 'Who’s ordering the pizza?'"

2Oh,Kira, it's not just her looks/personality that irritate me. What really bothers me is her subpar acting. She'd better do a damn good research to look real in that 80s flick. BTW, still don't see any boobs, Michelle (you can't disguise the flat chest under the big blue flower ruffle!)
for some reason she irritates me - personality and looks...
