The NUY Cancer Institute website reported back in May 2009 that renowned designer Marc Jacobs is reissuing in color some of his “Protect the Skin You’re In” campaign tees, in which notable celebrities and fashion icons pose nude. Chloë Sevigny poses nude on one of Jacobs’ tees, as do fellow celebrities Victoria Beckham, Milla Jovovich, Heidi Klum, Dita Von Teese and Doutzen Kroes. From the May 2009 update of the The NUY Cancer Institute website:

Marc Jacobs has reissued color versions of some of the most popular “Protect The Skin You’re In” celebrity nude T-shirts as part of an ongoing campaign to raise awareness about the deadly skin cancer and benefit melanoma research at the NYU Cancer Institute at NYU Langone Medical Center. The campaign, which features more than a dozen celebrities baring all for skin cancer, has already raised over $1 million for the NYU School of Medicine’s Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group (IMCG).

“The public awareness generated by the T-shirt campaign is enormous, not to mention the funds that have been raised,” says Dr. William L. Carroll, director of the NYU Cancer Institute, who notes that proceeds of the sales of the T-shirts benefit IMCG. “We are grateful for the generosity of Marc Jacobs and Robert Duffy in allowing the NYU Cancer Institute to focus on research and advancing clinical care.”

The NYU Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group (NYU-IMCG) is a multidisciplinary melanoma translational research program dedicated to advancing the care of melanoma patients through a coordinated approach combining basic science, translational research and clinical care. Its 23 investigators represent 11 departments at NYU Langone Medical Center. Since 2002, it has enrolled over one-thousand patients, who have donated blood and tumor tissues for research. NYU-IMCG is supported by the NYU Cancer Institute, NYU School of Medicine’s Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology, and the Marc Jacobs’ campaigns to support melanoma research.

Yesterday, September 20, the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards were held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, where the critically acclaimed HBO series Big Love was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series, and Chloë Sevigny was there in support of the series, looking as amazing as ever in a white polka dot gown. The gallery has been updated with our first 62 medium-res photos of Chloë at the event — be sure to check back with us for additions!

Unfortunately, Big Love did not win the category it was nominated in. The award for Outstanding Drama Series went to Mad Men. Bummer.

Not a lot to report on Chloë of late, I’m afraid. However, the Interview magazine website has a really cool (and dead funny) interview with Depeche Mode frontman David Gahan, as conducted by Chloë Sevigny, “a die-hard Depeche Mode fan.” Except from the interview, courtesy of InterviewMagazine.com:

SEVIGNY: You’re preparing for the tour . . . You know, I tried to go see Depeche Mode 101 when I was a kid. I was in, like, junior high.

GAHAN: You must have been about 5 or something. [laughs]

SEVIGNY: I was not! I was about 14 or 15. I listened to a lot of music growing up. My father kept very current, and then I had my older brother. But Depeche Mode was the first band that was my own. It was my discovery.

GAHAN: Oh, cool.

SEVIGNY: But I couldn’t raise enough money to buy the concert tickets. My babysitting pay wasn’t really doing the trick. So there was this kid that hung out at the park where I grew up. He was kind of like Damone from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Do you remember that character? He would sell concert tickets and pot and whatever else. This guy drove a Honda CRX with a WDRE bumper sticker. I went over to his car and was like, “Do you have any tickets for Depeche Mode?” He said, “Yeah, they’re some-odd dollars.” I didn’t have enough so he said, “If you give me a hand job, I’ll give you the tickets.”

GAHAN: Oh! No way.

SEVIGNY: I didn’t know what that was then, believe it or not. So I went back to my friends who were in another car and was like, “He said he’d give them to me if I gave him a hand job.” My friends said, “No! Don’t do it!”

GAHAN: Oh, my god.

Great news, y’all! According to AOL Television, HBO’s polygamist drama series Big Love has been nominated for this year’s Best Drama Series Emmy! The show is up against Damages, House, Lost, Mad Men and Dexter. Unfortunately, none of the series’ main cast, Chloë Sevigny included, were nominated.

It’s that time of the year again, I guess, when predictions regarding Emmy nominees and winners begin surfacing online. Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly has picked his favorite nominees for Best Supporting Actress (Drama) — guess who he’d like to see nominated?:

Chloë Sevigny (Big Love): The sneakier her character got, the more I wanted to give her a hug. Oh, and an Emmy!

Ausiello also recommends Chloë’s Big Love co-star Ginnifer Goodwin for an Emmy nomination.

Now, seriously, people… Chloë’s portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant has “Emmy-worthy” written all over it. I’m just sayin’.

Chloë doesn’t disappoint! As we reported earlier, Chloë Sevigny did indeed host Kiehl’s New York Flagship Store Celebration with the Doe Fund in New York, NY yesterday, April 9 2009, and we now have first photos of Chloë at the event, looking effortlessly stylish in a black mini and dark blue navy jacket, the former of which is à la Opening Ceremony (Allure.com). The gallery has been updated with our first 29 medium- and hi-res photos from the event, some thanks to the good people at The Fashion Spot. As always, we’ll be keeping an eye out for more.

Furthermore, MyFOXNY has a video clip from the event, with a very cute interview segment in which Chloë and the reporter remark upon the great music being played (Chloë’s brother, Paul Sevigny was the DJ of the evening). The clip will soon be added to our media archive for download, but in the mean time check it out at MyFOXNY.com! Report from Allure.com:

Last night we went to Kiehl’s’ celebration of their refurbished East Village flagship store, which they wisely renovated to more closely resemble its original apothecary feel. Chloë Sevigny, a longtime Kiehl’s devotee and downtown poster girl, was on hand to host, wearing a black Opening Ceremony mini-dress (natch) and totally inspiring for spring electric pink lipstick. (Also, her cute brother Paul DJ’d the event.) Sevigny dished to us that the brand’s Rosewater Facial Toner was the first Kiehl’s product she ever used—”I loved the pretty rose petals floating in the bottle,”—and that her current obsessions are the Creme de Corps body lotion, Lavender Foaming Relaxing Bath with Sea Salts and Aloe Vera, and Dermatologist Solutions Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, which she swears really works (and we believe her—her skin is ridiculously glowing).

The other reason for the party: In addition to launching a new collection of grooming tools, totes, and t-shirts that will be available exclusively at that store, the company donated $10,000 to the The Doe Fund’s Ready, Willing and Able program, which helps formerly homeless or incarcerated people learn vocational skills and become active members of their communities.

Esquire.com has an exceptionally interesting article on Chloë, titled “What I’ve Learned”. I highly recommend checking it out as it features some interesting quotations by her. Excerpt from Esquire.com:

“The umlaut isn’t on my birth certificate. I had this book as a child called Chloë and Maude, and there was an umlaut on the e, and I said, I want that! It’s a little flair. Just to confuse people even more. People always come up to me and say, Oh, you’re Chloë Se-VIG-ny, right? Sevigny. Number seven, letter e”.

“The first time I went to therapy, I had to stop going because they were making me hate my parents.”

“Then what I get a lot, too, which I think is really odd, is, ‘You’re so much prettier in person.’ All the time. They think that makes me feel good?”

Today, on November 18 2008, our favorite actress and fashion icon Chloë Sevigny turns 34 years old! What an awesome year it’s been. Congratulations, Chloë!

As Britney Spears once so aptly put it, “Oops, I did it again!” Sigh. This year’s Primetime Emmy nominees have been announced, and despite some favorable predictions, the excellent regular cast of Big Love have been granted zip. Once again, Chloë’s unparalleled portrayal of Nicolette “Nicki” Grant has been wrongfully ignored, and quite frankly I’m rather annoyed (not to mention disappointed) — can you tell?

All in all, Big Love received only one nomination; Outstanding Guest Actress In A Drama Series, for Ellen Burstyn’s portrayal of Nancy Dutton. The full list of nominees is available at Emmys.tv. You may post your sighs under this update, and then we can all sigh in unison.

Sigh.
