Chloe Sevigny is the subject of Playboy’s January 2011 feature, and in the interview she talks about the final season of ‘Big Love,’ her infamous oral sex scene in ‘Brown Bunny’ and her frustrations dating in New York.
On her regrets about bad-mouthing Big Love to a reporter: “I got into a lot of trouble. It was a huge thing on the Internet. Yeah, I got a little talking-to. [laughs] I don’t want to bite the hand that feeds me. I loved being on the show; I love my character and my co-stars. The whole experience has been great. I just felt it was a weaker season than others. I shouldn’t have said it. I don’t want to offend anybody.”
On what to expect in the upcoming final season: “The writers are concentrating a lot more this year on the politics within the family. For viewers who keep asking why Bill and the family keep getting away with everything they do, this season the characters start having to face consequences. Since HBO said that viewers respond to how conservative my character is, she becomes stricter and more conservative. They’re dressing me like Hillary Clinton in the 1980s.”
On co-star Bill Paxton exposing himself on the show more than the women: “Bill likes to get his kit off, and he looks great. The first season, my character was aggressive in bed, but that changed by the second and third seasons, and there was no sex on season four. I don’t know why, and I was confused by that. This season, aside from stuff with the teen characters, sex is still on the back burner. And although I have done nudity on the show, the other girls won’t do topless. I don’t want to be the show’s Samantha, like on Sex and the City–the only woman who’ll do nudity. So I refused to do any more and there was a lot of back-and-forth about it.”
On her oral sex scene with Vincent Gallo in The Brown Bunny: “What’s happened with that is all very complicated. There are a lot of emotions. I’ll probably have to go to therapy at some point. But I love Vincent. The film is tragic and beautiful, and I’m proud of it and my performance. I’m sad that people think one way of the movie, but what can you do? I’ve done many explicit sex scenes, but I’m not that interested in doing any more. I’m more self-aware now and wouldn’t be able to be as free, so why even do it?” LOTS MORE FROM THE ARTICLE AFTER THE JUMP! (more…)
So yeah, last week Rob posted a video and a bunch of pictures of himself getting a massive tattoo of Monster’s “M” on his back. According to Rob’s Twitter, the whole grueling process took 10 hours; four hours to get the black outline of the M and six more to knock out all the color. The finished result, which Rob is calling a tribute to his “total brand dedication,” is above.
The initial reaction to Rob’s tattoo was a collective scream of “WTF” from his fans. But it didn’t take long for people to start copying the tat, in marker of course. And now the question has turned to whether it’s real or another Dyrdekian stunt. We’re no tattoo experts here, but it sure as hell looks real to us. The pain on Rob’s face in this picture looks real too. And if we’ve learned anything from Rob over the years, it’s that when something seems too crazy for someone to have actually done it, Rob probably did it.
OUCH! Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson star in James L. Brooks new movie, ‘How Do You Know’ which comes out today. There seems to be a reason why the movie wasn’t screened in advance for critics… the movie sucks. Here’s what NY Mag has to say:
It’s hard to imagine many people will have the patience to sit through James L. Brooks‘ dismally wan rom-com “How Do You Know.” But those who do will need a way to pass the time. My solution was to consider variations on the titular query, until the credits finally rolled. For example:
Q: How do you know when a director has become too cynical for his own good?
A: When he assumes audiences will fall for anything, as long as it fits a formula.
Other viewers, however, may want to start with a more urgent question. Like:
Q: How do you know when to cut your losses and go see something else?
A: When you start to feel embarrassed for everyone on screen.
That moment arrives way too soon, as it becomes clear that Reese Witherspoon has no idea how to shape her performance. It’s not really her fault, though; Brooks (an Oscar-winner who’s been in a slump since 2004′s “Spanglish”) never bothered to turn his concepts into characters. So all there is to Witherspoon’s Lisa is this: After aging out of professional softball, she’s wondering if it’s time to focus on marriage and children.
She won’t achieve either with her boyfriend (Owen Wilson), an oafish baseball star. It’s doubtful Lisa would ever date this dimwitted playboy, but he provides the required conflict when brainy George (Paul Rudd) shows up.
Frankly, there’s no reason George should fall for the ultra-bland Lisa, either. But Brooks needs to push the movie along, so the men compete fiercely, with one offering intelligent sensitivity and the other offering, well, Owen Wilson’s hair. To distract us from this gaping vacuum of a plot, a lost-looking Jack Nicholson wanders through as George’s corrupt father.
Brooks’ shallow screenplay feels half-finished, and he never compensates with additional guidance or directorial flair. So all his actors are forced to flail about ineffectually. Apparently, none of them read the script in advance. Because surely then they’d have known to take a pass.
I read other reviews this morning – not all are this harsh, but for the most part it’s getting either 1 or 2 stars. Again… OUCH.
Johnny Depp’s long-term relationship with Vanessa Paradis seems as rock-solid as any Hollywood romance, but new allegations against the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ star may shatter all that.
In a new interview with Star, 19-year-old model Kristen Stephenson-Pino says that Depp tried to win her over on the set of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.’
Stephenson-Pino claims that Depp lavished attention on her, calling her “exquisite” and telling her “you’re by far the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen,” before inviting her back to his trailer.
“It was one-on-one,” she says. “I was in there for a few hours, and that’s, like, everyone’s ideal lover boy. He’s just the whole package!”
In the issue, on newsstands today, an on-set source says, “The wardrobe department needed to make the perfect breast model for the voluptuous mermaid costumes,” for which Stephenson-Pino was chosen. The source claims that Depp eagerly looked on while the model undressed, telling Star, “He watched them do the molds.” CONTINUE READING! (more…)
