About to get some hot Mormon action in HBO’s “Big Love”
Indie goddess/fashion weirdo Chlöe Sevigny recently sat down with The Advocate in a fairly engrossing interview, in which (among other things) she spoke of her own semi-bisexual tendencies as well as the “bisexual trend” embraced by many of today’s young starlets:
Could you ever see yourself in a relationship with a woman?
Probably not, no. I need more meat and potatoes — with more of the meat part, I guess. [Laughs]
When celebrities like Lady Gaga, Fergie, and Ke$ha have discussed being bisexual or having bisexual tendencies in recent interviews, they’ve often been accused of doing so just for attention or to seem cooler. Has bisexuality become fashionable in Hollywood?
No, I wouldn’t say it’s fashionable. You have a lot of gay power players, but when it comes down to it, Hollywood is more homophobic than anywhere else. And I would never say something like that just to seem more interesting — that’s just the reality of who I was — but our society is a lot more forgiving of women than it is of men when it comes to that sort of thing.
While it’s just too bad that Sevigny’s idea of “meat and potatoes” just happens to include Vincent “Just a Gigolo” Gallo, she is absolutely correct about gayness/bisexuality being much more acceptable for women in society. Another interesting portion of the interview involves Sevigny’s observations of Michael Alig (the “King of the Club Kids” who was convicted of a particularly brutal murder) and her reaction upon learning that Alig will soon be released from prison:
You played Michael Alig’s girlfriend Gitsie in Party Monster. Would you have any interest in looking up Michael when he gets paroled in a few years?
Ooh, I’m not so sure. I mean, he did a bad thing. But I knew all of them and hung out with all those guys, which is why I did the picture. I was looking through my brother’s photos and mementos the other day, and I found this letter that I’d sent to him from back then. I wrote, “You won’t believe what happened in the club scene! This guy Michael Alig killed this other guy…” I go on and on about what happened, and this was even before it was in the papers. I remember that Freeze and Angel would never sell me whatever drugs I was into, so I’d always have to ask my gay boyfriends to buy them for me. Those guys were threatened by me — especially Michael — because all the gay boys loved me.
While Chlöe and I don’t have the drug history thing in common, I definitely dig the fact that she has gay boyfriends. After all, they can be quite useful in a pinch. Good times, mates.
