Random Cool: Salma Hayek Pinault 'Bugs Out' With David Letterman

By Michael Lopez

Salma is back in full force! It seems like just yesterday she was escaping a killer snake, but the brave & beautiful star recently shared another squirmy encounter: EATING BUGS!

While promoting her upcoming films on "The Late Show," Salma gave cooking advice that had the audience rolling and sent the web buzzing. What was it? A few recipes that aren't likely to make it onto "Top Chef" anytime soon.

Never one to shy away from controversy (remember that breast-feeding incident?), Mrs. Hayek Pinault shared this tasty tidbit:

"We Mexicans eat bugs, but we don't eat horses. We have many recipes for some of them. Escamoles, which are eggs of these little ants-fried, they are amazing with a little bit of guacamole. And the worms-I'm salivating, they're delicious. It's all in the way they cook it, the little grasshoppers have a smokey flavor to them and it's really good."

Nothing wrong with having an open mind when it comes to the dinner table. C'mon, if you really think about it, don't you think a smokey grasshopper does less damage to the arteries than one of those quadruple bacon cheeseburgers?

Go, Salma!

"Grown Ups" hits theaters this Friday (June 25)!
