The actress has another comedy coming out this summer, a spoof of scary movies called Scary Movie, directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans. A cooperative rr xas native, Elizabeth was born in Houston and raised in Waco. After graduat- sanj "we train; high school, she moved to New York to pursue a modeling career. Eliz- polite and couffl Iwook time recently to participate in a phone interview with The Battalion in ble. My persona! she discussed her career, to take it pern smiling.’ school-wise that 1 could do by way of that. It wasn’t really frustrating at the time because I did not know what it was like anywhere else in the world. That was all I knew. I was very sheltered. I didn’t know that there was more out there. I am so happy with the way everything is going now. Q You seem to be attracted to comedies. 2: I am at Texas A&M and Ob, cool. You’re at Texas A&M? Yeah. That is awesome.

I really never had any desire to model. •Schulte added that itc.: just kind of fell into that and was given my questions about tlii.v hances to do that. I did do what was ampus Access Task For., variable in Waco at the time. I worked should contact PTTSorE, pth the local department stores. I just ■ with the modeling, so it would lead to the acting.

Melissa KM ajor, was elected Extrf It is really just kind of how it started off. I really love comedies. I really love making people laugh. There is nothing more fulfilling than that. I can understand why people like doing sitcoms because you get the immediate satisfaction of hear ing the laughter. I am really looking forward to doing so many things that drama will definitely be in there. My next film looks like it may be a romantic comedy. 1 want to do it all. Because American Pie is what people saw me in first, 1 think that I am getting offered a lot more roles like that. Q Could you talk a little bit about your character [in Scary Movie]? I am kind of like the Sarah Michelle Cellar character. In fact, my character 'name was Buffy Cellar, but they changed it to Buffy Gelmore. It actually really parallels [Buffy] a little bit. [The character] is kind of ditzy. Of the group that I am in, I am definitely the one with no brains left. She is a fun character to play. Because I was always very good in school, it was hard to get into that mindset of being totally naive to everything that is going on. I am a huge animal lover and have several dogs myself. Part of the reason why I started doing work on the Internet was so I could give to my favorite charities. The Amanda Foundation is one that I really believe in because they rescue ani mals from the shelter and give them a second chance on life. I want to help them. They’ve been very positive. Q * In a recent Maxim article, you commented about how the film- • makers on this project [Scary Movie] were making you wear very skimpy outfits and doing a lot of size enhancement with padding. What was your reaction to that? Did you feel that it was necessary to ttie over- The-top spoof? * | That is definitely why he is doing it. I think at that point he was spoofing Jen- 1 niter Love Hewitt because in the / Know What You Did Last Summer movies, she was always showing a lot of cleavage. I think [Keenen Ivory Wayans] want ed to go further with it and really blow people away. There is a part when you first see me and you’re just like, "Oh, my God.” Then my outfits kept get ting smaller and smaller and I just want people to know that that is not all me. There is a lot of padding there. It is just unbelievable to watch. Q What is it about acting that appeals to you? Q What keeps you busy be tween work? I really have so much fun when I am working. I feel like I did not have to pick a profession in my life as far as like a doctor or a lawyer. I can play them all. 1 feel like I can’t lose because I can still do it all. I am learning so much constantly. I love it. Q • I know you do a lot of work with the Amanda Foundation. Could • you elaborate on that? I have been doing a lot of work on the Internet, i really think it is a great place to learn. 1 have also been doing a lot of photo shoots. I feel like I am con stantly on the go. I don’t think I have sat down and watched TV in a really long time, and that is what I would re ally like to do for an hour or so. wcomers Club: te-P sningPotluck Social torf mester will be on Fi 7 p.m. Hosts will beK ;gory Zaniewski at It r k, CS.
