From IMDB:

Oscar winner Marisa Tomei studied rocker Bret Michaels' raunchy reality show Rock Of Love as part of her stripper research for new movie The Wrestler.

The actress tried pole dancing too - just to make sure she'd look authentic in her film debut as an exotic dancer.

She explains, "I had a friend who is a yoga teacher and she does a lot of pole dancing so I asked her to teach me. I went to a lot of clubs and watched to see the different styles of dancing.

"I would practice in a dance room with a bar and a mirror, like a ballet studio. I watched Rock of Love, that reality show with Bret Michaels, where he's trying to get a wife and they're all strippers. That was my closest association to the actual world of it."

And her brief flirtation with the world of the stripper has brought Tomei a new love: "I like going to strip clubs now."


JJ: Hey Marisa, can I go with you?? :D

She did go to clubs, but she did a little more research. I think it's funny she watched "Rock of Love" to see what kind of girl she wanted to play. Maybe Brett Michaels should take a hint.

Absolutely love this chick. She is hotter than ever. Cant wait to see her in the Wrestler.

She gets dogged on a lot cause of the "undeserving" Oscar she won but I think he is a fine actress especially in In the Bedroom.

I love her. She's very talented and she gets hotter and hotter with age.
