Chloë in March 2008 issue of Elle UK!
After a long quiet period I am so glad to finally see some new Chloë-ness! As we reported earlier, Chloë is now Elle magazine’s “style advisor” and will be writing a column for the magazine for the next six months, and thus she is currently featured in the March 2008 issue of Elle (UK) in a brand new, sizzling photoshoot!
I’ve added eight scans from the issue to the gallery thanks to OhJane of The Fashion Spot - I will upload better resolution scans (including such of the “Ask Chloë”-column on page 188 of the magazine, which are currently not among the scans) as soon as the issue reaches my country. Meanwhile, check out the magazine’s awesome interview with Chloë; you can read the article in its entirety at our gallery. Below is an excerpt courtesy of Elle:
The problem with being a style icon, part one: your look gets ripped off. ‘A few years ago I started wearing these white Ray-Ban Wayfarers that my mother found at a flea market in Connecticut,’ says Chloë Sevigny. ‘I loved them and wore them every day. But I was constantly made fun of by all the tabloids, attacked over and over again. It got to the point where my publicist and my agent had this conference call with me - yes, a conference call - and said, “Chloë, we know you really like those sunglasses but people are taking the piss out of you so much that we have to advise you to stop wearing them.” I was, like, OK fine, I’m sick of them anyway. But then the next summer those white Ray-Bans were everywhere! You could not escape them. Mary-Kate Olsen wore them and it was, like, “Mary-Kate starts a new trend.” I never got any credit! I’m so off the radar!’ She bursts into laughter - and what a magnificent laugh she has, kind of like an asthmatic donkey. She takes a sip of green tea and reconsiders. ‘Well, I think I am on the radar for style-setters. And then it trickles down from what they do.’
I don’t know about you, but I will snatch this issue off the shelf as soon as I find it. Meanwhile, enjoy the below scans of Elle magazine’s Chloë spread.

Chloë at BlackBook February issue celebration!
Apologies for the few days’ delay, I just returned from out of town. However, as expected, Chloë attended the BlackBook ‘Hollywood’ issue celebration in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. Once again, photos are regrettably scarce, but here’s to hoping more will surface soon. Meanwhile, enjoy the 6 MQ photos I was able to find at this point. And for the record, Chloë looked gorgeous!
I would also like to warn everyone that the gallery will most likely be going down sometime next week, when I set up the new gallery, which will have tons (and I do mean, tons) of new photo additions. The downtime will take a few days. Stay tuned.

Nick Cannon talks ‘The Killing Room’, Chloë’s part confirmed!
Although IMDb doesn’t currently list any upcoming projects for Chloë, it isn’t to say she doesn’t have any. Some of you will perhaps recall how we in September reported of an untitled Nick Cannon (short) film - now titled The Killing Room - that was to shoot in Louisiana at the end of October 2007. Well, although IMDb makes no mention of this project in Chloë’s filmography, Cannon, one of the film’s stars, recently confirmed her participation in the film in an interview with MTV. From MTV.com:
MTV: What’s next for you?
Cannon: So many things. … Film-wise, I just finished a film called The Killing Room, with Chloë Sevigny and Timothy Hutton. That’s a project I wanted to sink my teeth into.MTV: I heard about that. It sounds like Saw but with a government conspiracy.
Cannon: Yeah! It has a Saw feel, but I’d say it’s a little more complex than that. It has a secret government background. But realistically, it’s four actors in one room just bouncing off each other, and it’s amazing. It’s method-style [acting], one room, theatrical, and it’s something you haven’t seen in a very long time.
The film is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, and also co-stars Clea DuVall, Peter Stormare and Timothy Hutton. The film’s IMDb page makes no mention of the film being a drama short, which would imply that The Killing Room is a full feature film after all. No release date(s) have yet been set for the film except that it will be out sometime in 2008. Although the film is categorized under “drama/thriller”, judging by the film’s name (as well as earlier title, Manbreak) and Cannon’s Saw comparison, I am expecting at least some gore and horror.
I’ll keep you posted in case any more information on this project of Chloë’s turns up!

Chloë to be ELLE magazine’s “style advisor”
Well, this is interesting news. Guardian Unlimited reports Elle magazine have hired Chloë to be their new “style advisor”. From Guardian Unlimited:
“For the next six months Sevigny will be answering letters about style for us,” says Candy, sitting across the table in her cramped Mayfair office. “‘Style advisor’ is not just a title - she’ll really be doing it, she has a column. She is not someone who’s instantly recognisable - she couldn’t go on a Glamour or Cosmopolitan cover, she could only go on an Elle cover to be honest. But what we’re saying with this [signing] is that this magazine is about fashion and style - and next month we’ve got someone who the author Jay McInerney once called ‘the most stylish girl in the world’ on the cover.”
Hmm. I’m not sure what to think of Candy’s statement regarding how recognizable Chloë is, but other than that all this sounds exciting!

New photoshoot - Chloë in Glamour issue?
I recently discovered a new photoshoot featuring Chloë has surfaced online, which seems to have been photographed for either a past or future issue of Glamour magazine (presumably past, though), either the US or UK edition. She is wearing some of her own Opening Ceremony designs in the shoot, previews of which can be found below. I will add the photoshoot in its entirety to our gallery with the launch of the new one.
If anyone has any details regarding this Glamour issue featuring Chloë, please do not hesitate to get in touch! I would love to know which issue these photos have appeared in (and, if anyone is able to provide us with scans, such would also be appreciated). Thank you.

Chloë to attend BlackBook February issue celebration?
New York Post reports Chloë will be attending the BlackBook Hollywood issue celebration next week! As we reported earlier, Chloë currently graces the cover of their February (aka. “Hollywood”) issue, so I think it very likely she will be attending. From the New York Post:
We hear … that Chloë Sevigny will help BlackBook magazine celebrate its Hollywood issue at the Thompson Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday with the likes of Jaime Pressly, Rose McGowan and Janet Jackson.
I’ll keep you posted on whether she does show up at the event or not - and, if she does, I will of course be posting the photos as soon as any such surface.

EW pick’s ‘Zodiac’ 10th Best Film of 2007
I just discovered Entertainment Weekly picked Zodiac as the 10th Best Film of 2007 in their December 28 2007 issue. From Rose-McGowan.com:
Drawn, with meticulous precision, from the actual case files, and shot under dank fluorescence, David Fincher’s raptly unsettling docudrama about the hunt for the San Fransisco serial killer is a journalistic procedural mystery in the tradition of All the President’s Men. Yet it’s also an investigation into the obsessive addiction of mystery itself. The killer creates a reign of terror metaphorically evocative of the one we’re in now, and as the case gets bounced from one precinct to the next, finally landing in the hands of a cartoonist and amateur sleuth (Jake Gyllenhaal, in an underrated performance), we’re trapped in his desire to look the monster in the face - and, more impossibly, to make the monster go away.

Chloë on the cover of BlackBook February 2008!
Ohmigosh! Strap yourselves onto something, because Chloë is featured on the cover of the February 2008 issue of BlackBook in an absolutely gorgeous new photoshoot! I will scan the issue for HQs as soon as it reaches my country, meanwhile check out these previews I was able to find online.
BlackBookMag.com have also posted an online version of the interview, in which she discusses style, hew new clothing line, living in Hollywood, potato bugs (!) and Big Love. Although what’s on the table may sound rather ordinary, it’s an awesome interview - one of her best, I daresay - and to prove it, here’s an excerpt courtesy of BlackBookMag.com:
BB: Unacceptable.
CS: Unacceptable. One night I found this… thing. It was in the bathroom, which is downstairs [it’s a two-story house], and it was… it was like something from a David Cronenberg movie, and huge—huge! Or, I thought, maybe an alien had stopped in, and then gone into my bathroom to have a miscarriage. It’s probably not something you say in an interview, or maybe ever, because it’s incredibly embarrassing—but it’s pretty funny, so I will. I was so, so scared, I mean utterly terrified, that even after it was gone, for so long I wouldn’t go in there, and in the middle of the night, rather than risk it, I would pee off my upstairs porch. Turned out it’s called a potato bug. It’s the size of my fucking… hand.BB: The potato bug is a goddamn nightmare.
CS: They just gave me a raise on the show, and my mother says, “You have to treat yourself.” You know, as mothers do.
Awesome? Awesome. Read the interview in its entirety at BlackBookMag.com. Below is a preview of the upcoming BlackBook issue cover and photoshoot. Scans will be added as soon as possible.
