5. Selma Blair reunited with her Cruel Intentions director Roger Kumble for the project, though she joked to EW that there wasn't a ton of competition for her role.
"I think I got my part by default because nobody wanted to go in and have a penis [stuck in their mouth]," Blair said. "All their agents were like, 'No, you will not be cast with a penis caught in your mouth.' I was like, 'It's Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate, are you f--king kidding me? Yes, I will have a penis in my mouth!' I really do think I was cast by default."
6. The scene in question, wherein Blair's character Jane requires emergency media attention after her boyfriend's penis piercing gets caught in her throat, ended up being a physically taxing experience for the actress.
"I had a banana in my mouth. I have really, really bad TMJ and that was so painful to stay like that all day," Blair explained. "I remember Cameron so soothingly stroking my hair. It was really a dramatic scene for me. I didn't view it as a comedy. It was a really low point, but also I knew somewhere, this was going to help people get through something one day. It was so pathetic, and I still have pain from it."
7. The iconic moment where Jane has sex with a man wearing a purple elephant costume in a dressing room was not in the original script, with Kumble coming up with the idea on the day of filming.
"That was one of Roger's glorious brain farts," Blair said. "He was like, 'This scene needs something. Those girls are having such a great time. What's a great time for you?' Animal sex! It was really absurd. I remember being really comfortable. It was so cozy."
