In the absence of any Chloë Sevigny-specific news, I do have an interesting Big Love-related update for you. Several news sources are reporting a depiction of a sacred Mormon ceremony in a future episode of the HBO polygamist drama series, has many Mormons in an uproar. From CBC.ca:

The producers of the polygamy TV drama Big Love have apologized ahead of time for any offence to Mormons caused by an episode that depicts a sacred religious rite.

The HBO cable series stars Bill Paxton as the owner of a chain of hardware stores who is married to three wives, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin. The fictional family is non-Mormon but the series will show an endowment ceremony in a Mormon temple on its March 15 show. The Mormon Church, officially known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), only allows selected individuals and members in good standing to witness such a ceremony.

News of the episode has angered many Mormons, who have called for a boycott of the network and calls to cancel subscriptions to AOL, part of the Time Warner Inc. conglomerate that owns HBO. The network released a statement late Tuesday to address the outrage. “It was not our intention to do anything disrespectful to the church, but to those who may be offended we offer our sincere apology.” Creators Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer told TV Guide the episode will take place in an endowment room and the celestial room of a Mormon temple. They said they thoroughly researched the ritual and used an “ex-Mormon consultant.” The two say the ceremony — in which participants move to a higher level of understanding of their religion — has never been depicted on screen.

The Mormon Church has previously voiced fears about the series, which launched in 2006. In a release, it says it feels a betrayed by HBO. “Despite earlier assurances from HBO, it once again blurs the distinctions between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the show’s fictional non-Mormon characters and their practices. Such things say much more about the insensitivities of writers, producers and TV executives than they say about Latter-day Saints.”
