Hilary Swank has refused to release details of worthy causes who benefited from her controversial attendance at Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov's birthday party.

The Oscar-winning actress issued a groveling apology in October amid a storm of criticism of her presence at the event, and she promised to hand her personal appearance fee to charity.

Exiled former Chechen leader Akhmed Zakayev has written to the Boys Don't Cry star demanding she provide details of her payment and the charities she's handed it to - but Swank has declined the request.

A spokeswoman for the actress tells The ...

Chloe Sevigny went to HBO's Post Award Reception for the Emmy Awards wearing a short, leopard print dress. Sometimes a star wears the dress, but in this case the dress is wearing the star. And we don't like that Chloe matched her lipstick to her clutch.

Chloe made headlines earlier this year for blasting the latest season of her show "Big Love." She was reported as saying, "It was awful this season, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not allowed to say that!...I feel like it kind of got away from itself..."

The actress moved quickly to play down her remarks, blaming the media for blowing the si...

Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank is still upset she was fired from TV show Beverly Hills, 90210 in the late 1990s. Swank admits she lost confidence in her acting ability when television bosses decided she wasn't good enough for the then-ailing teen program.

But the 33-year-old had the last laugh when she won her first Academy Award for her performance in Boys Don't Cry just two years later in 2000, and went on to claim a second Oscar for Million Dollar Baby.

She says, "They (producers) never told me why, they just said it wasn't working... Especially when it's in its eighth seas...

Actress Chloe Sevigny used to love taking illegal substances as a kid because they kept boredom at bay. The Boys Don't Cry star often enjoyed hallucinogenic narcotics as a teen but she's too scared to try anything harder.

She says, "I did just love taking hallucinogens... But I have never snorted anything, and even as a kid, if I smoked a lot of pot, my heart would pump and I would think I was going to have a heart attack, so I've always thought if I did cocaine I would have a heart attack."

"I had a great family life - I would never want it to look as if it reflected on them. I...

Actress Chloe Sevigny insists she isn't a fan of Paris Hilton - branding the socialite "trashy." The Boys Don't Cry star was recently told she was 'sexier than Paris Hilton' by a journalist - and she couldn't be more relieved.

She says, "Well, I don't find trashy sexy, so I'll try to take that as a compliment. I think it's sexy to be a little bit mysterious."

Actress Chloe Sevigny is still traumatized by her controversial fellatio scene opposite Vincent Gallo in The Brown Bunny - because everyone seems to have an opinion about it without seeing the film.

The Boys Don't Cry star hit the headlines when the movie was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in France in 2003 and film fans questioned her decision to perform the unsimulated sex act on her ex-boyfriend.

The film was largely a flop and Sevigny's agents at the William Morris Agency dropped her as a client upon its release.

Now, almost four years after the controversy, Sevigny ad...

Double Oscar winner Hilary Swank has given other actresses advice on how to survive tonight's prestigious Academy Awards ceremony - don't eat or drink anything. The 32-year-old is a familiar sight at the awards show, having picked up her first Best Actress Oscar in 1999 for her harrowing role as a transgender man in Boys Don't Cry, and the second in 2004 for Million Dollar Baby, and she is keen to pass on her tips to her less-experienced peers.

She says, "The key is not to drink at all - as you don't want to be running to the ladies. You also can't eat as the dresses are so tight and ...

Actor Chad Lowe refuses to blame his substance abuse for the breakdown of his marriage to double Oscar winner Hilary Swank, but he admits it "strained" their relationship.

Swank and Lowe were married for eight years before splitting last year, and Lowe has previously admitted to being "disappointed" when Swank discussed his troubled past in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Two-time Oscar-winner Hilary Swank goes to extreme measures to make her characters believable and even developed a potential health problem because of her strict diet for one role. Swank won her Academy Awards for Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby and insists the intense training required to play a boxer pushed her body too far.

She explains, "If I believe in a role, and in the story, I'll do what I need to make it believable and to make it work. I have some problems with elevated mercury in my system. I wasn't eating meat when I was filming 'Million Dollar Baby' but had to put o...

Chloe Sevigny is often appalled by the sexy and sleazy characters she plays in movies like Boys Don't Cry, Gummo, The Brown Bunny and Kids but accepts it's her way of rebelling against her strict Catholic upbringing. The quirky actress is shocked to think that fans see her as provocative and liberal in her film choices, because she's actually one of the most conservative people she knows.

And Sevigny, who infamously performed oral sex on her co-star Vincet Gallo in The Brown Bunny, often feels dirty after making controversial movies. She reveals, "They all make me uncomfortable. All se...
