Oscar-nominated actress Chloe Sevigny has blasted rumors her controversial explicit sex scene in The Brown Bunny damaged her career.

The Boys Don't Cry star attracted a barrage of criticism after she was shown performing unsimulated oral sex on Vincent Gallo in the 2003 drama.

It sparked speculation her standing with Hollywood bosses would nosedive and she was no longer "marketable" as an actress - but Sevigny is adamant the furore did not harm her career.

She tells Britain's The Independent, "There were all these rumors, like getting fired from my agency, which is not true. And they sai...

Actor/director Vincent Gallo has filed a lawsuit against city officials in Los Angeles over allegations they have been squandering taxpayers' money.

The Brown Bunny filmmaker claims the city-funded Arts District Business Improvement District (sic) organization, which is said to provide trash removal, security and cleaning in the L.A. Arts District, is wasting cash as it provides "no benefit" to residents, according to TMZ.com.

The website reports Gallo is suing to have the program shut down and force a return of all the money it has brought in since its inception.

Actress Chloe Sevigny has pledged to stop flashing her flesh in movies - because she's been a part of too many "explicit sex scenes."

The Boys Don't Cry star, who once performed oral sex on then-boyfriend Vincent Gallo in the movie The Brown Bunny, insists she's no longer interested in stripping for provocative movies and has signed a no-nudity clause in an effort to keep her clothes on in the future.

She says, "I'm more self-aware now and wouldn't be able to be as free, so why even do it (bare all)?" And she has already clashed with directors on the set of her hit TV drama Big Love.

Actor/musician Vincent Gallo is pleading with bosses at Twitter.com to remove accounts used by pranksters to pose as celebrities.

The Brown Bunny filmmaker, who does not use Twitter, has had two pages set up by impersonators, who have attracted nearly 16,000 followers with strange messages, including digs at stars including Sarah Silverman, Kanye West and Milla Jovovich.

Gallo has also been bombarded with maple syrup at his concerts after a Twitter prankster promised fans backstage passes if they brought him bottles of the sauce. But he has failed to convince Twitter bosses to remove t...

Eccentric actor/director Vincent Gallo is planning his next bizarre movie - about a funeral director who tries to reincarnate the dead. Gallo has shocked Hollywood in the past with controversial movies Buffalo '66 and Brown Bunny, in which ex-girlfriend Chloe Sevigny performed oral sex on him for one controversial scene.

And now he's hoping to bring the dead back to life in new film The Funeral Director.

Movie website imdb.com describes the new film as, "A story about a broken-hearted man, Kevin Stiff, who ditches a lucrative advertising job and signs on as an apprentice in a fune...

Actress Jennifer Jason Leigh would have performed fellatio on actor Vincent Gallo if she'd agreed to take the role Chloe Sevigny played in controversial movie The Brown Bunny. Sevigny is reported to have actually performed oral sex on Gallo for a scene in the film, and Leigh admits she wouldn't have flinched if she'd taken the role.

The Single White Female star turned the part down because "it just didn't work out," but it had nothing to do with the potential controversy.

She says, "I think I would've done it if I weren't in a relationship at the time. I don't think there's any st...

Film-maker Vincent Gallo has hit out at a movie critic who suggested he used a fake penis for a controversial sex scene in his low budget film Brown Bunny.

Gallo's co-star - and ex-girlfriend - Chloe Sevigny performs oral sex on him during the shocking shot. Both insisted when the film was released in 2003 that the sex act was for real.

But New York Post reviewer Frank Scheck hinted a prosthetic had been used in a recent article. He described the penis as an "appendage that may or may not have belonged to her co-star and director, Vincent Gallo."

Gallo immediately wrote a fou...

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...

Actor/director Vincent Gallo has laughed off reports he's dating an underage girl, insisting it's his "humanitarian duty" to befriend the sexy teen.

In it she hails Gallo as a "keeper" and posts photos of the pair together.

Bill Paxton and Chloe Sevigny "went ballistic" on Wednesday after the actress was asked about an explicit sex scene from a previous film on a daytime TV talk show. The two were appearing on "The View" to promote their new HBO series "Big Love" about a Mormon husband and his three wives.

One of "The View's" co-hosts, Joy Behar, brought up an infamous scene from independent film Brown Bunny, where Sevigny orally pleasures co-star Vincent Gallo.

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...
