In a strange and somewhat random verbal lashing that would lead one to believe it was still 1992, Isabella Rossellini, the go-to actress for bizarre and sadistic roles, recently told Out magazine, “I don’t think the [Sex] book worked, even though the photos were extraordinary, and some of them quite memorable. I think [it] was a little bit [...] moralistic, sort of ‘I’ll teach you how to be free!’–and that bothered the hell out of me.” Some of you may remember that this photo essay of graphic erotica was one of Madonna’s most incendiary career antics, especially when lumped in as a trio of sexually-geared media releases that also included the album Erotica (her best) and an oft forgotten movie called Body of Evidence.
Yeah, that's Vanilla Ice.
Along with other celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Vanilla Ice, and Big Daddy Kane, Rossellini agreed to appear in the book. Never known for being a prude about sex, why should she shy away from such an offer? But I guess, evidently, now that she’s making insect porn, Rossellini has weirder opinions about sexuality. And, as for the accusation of “moralizing” about sex, I think the photo below proves otherwise.
No caption needed
What is most surprising about Rossellini’s sudden desire to distance herself from having appeared in the book is that most people don’t recall that she was featured in it in the first place. In fact, I think people mainly associate her only with Blue Velvet or her cameo on Friends.
Rossellini in Green Porno, an informational series about the reproductive habits of bugs. And this is better than the Sex book how?
I would expect this sort of hijinks from Vanilla Ice as an attempt to get his name back in the headlines, but from Rossellini? All I can say is that she better pray she never runs into Madonna at a party honoring Steven Meisel.

Miss madonna, doesn’t even come NEAR the league of Rossellini. It was madonna who needed to spice up her book having Isabella on it. Isabella Rossellini doesn’t need to “get her name back in de headlines”, she was born a Headline.
who is Isabella Rossellini?
Hmmm, how is Green Porno better than “Sex” [the book]? That’s a question only someone with little to no appreciation of science would ask… (To be fair, maybe etymology and quirky humor just aren’t your thing.) Rossellini’s points about Madonna’s book were apparently lost on you as well. <>
crud, ENTOMOLOGY. i like words, they don’t always like me. sorry for the reloaded post.
