In the name of research for her art, Rashida Jones spent pre-production on her latest film kissing a lot of girls.

The "Parks & Recreation" star guested on "Chelsea Lately" on Wednesday night to talk about "Our Idiot Brother," the star-studded indie pic in which she plays the girlfriend of Zooey Deschanel, who is one of Paul Rudd's three put-upon sisters. Though there is much more to the role than her sexual orientation, it's been a staple of late night shows and interviews in order to hype the film up.

Once again, Jones teasingly obliged, discussing both her kissing with Zooey -- awkward, because of the giggly guys -- and her preparation for doing so, which included smooching a lot of other girls.

Jones has said before that this was her first experience kissing women, discussing it at length in an interview with The Advocate.

"'I was like, 'Oh, my God, girls are so pretty and soft. No stubble burn! What am I doing with guys?' she laughingly told the magazine. "I haven't dipped back since, but I was very appreciative of the experience."
