Or rather, we gleaned her unique perspective on weight-sensitive boozing.

“I’m not much of a goer-outer because I get really fat really fast when I drink," she told Page Six Magazine in an interview appearing this weekend. "If I could be an alcoholic, I probably would be, but I just can’t.” Silly! That's what the coke is for. Didn't your mother teach you anything?

And under the influence of head-clearing morning air, it occurred to us that Rossellini's episodic forays into the reproductive lives of snails, earthworms, spiders and other bugs features not only among the most sickly prurient puppetry we've seen in years, but arguably the best work the actress has done in almost two decades. Porno's backers at Sundance Channel will tell you all about their pro-ecology mandate, but honestly, we could take or leave such shameless earnestness in the face of a bug-fucking resurgence like this. Follow the jump to view our favorite episode, Preying Mantis, whose misspelling makes all the sense in the world once its grotesquerie of oozing, carnal head-eating settles in. We'll never have sex again. [Sundance Channel via VSL]
