Now that Demi Moore has dropped out of the upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic to seek professional help, our favorite stylesetter Chloë Sevigny is stepping in. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sevigny will play "a feminist journalist on freelance assignment for a men's magazine to find out who the real Linda Lovelace is."

Chloe Sevigny, a self-described pack rat, has opened the doors to her East Village apartment to help promote her new resort line for Opening Ceremony. A new video explores her closet, in which she pulls a number of curious objects like the bunny ears from Gummo and some S&M accessories, as well as some envy-inducing items like a sketch by Alber Elbaz when he was at YSL.

I apologize in advance for showing this to you after lunch. If you have a delicate sensibility, you might want to wait a few hours after your turkey wrap settles. And it might be the most upsetting thing you see all week.

From playing the girl who contracts HIV in Kids to the Vincent Gallo blow job scene in Brown Bunny to her current role in Big Love, Chloe Sevigny has never played it safe. Sticking with the career trajectory based on playing nontraditional characters, her next role is Mia, a pre-op transsexual that is also a hired assassin. Of course.

When we heard Chloë Sevigny would be producing her first-ever runway show for her latest collaboration with Opening Ceremony, we knew we were in for a retro-tastic treat. After all, the actress, known for her '90s street-chic style, has previously worked with OC to revive brands like NaNa Shoes, a welcomed throwback. For resort 2012, Sevigny delivered not only a sense of nostalgia in garments and location (the show was held in a Nolita school gym), but she also asked a few models from the past to walk the show, like our girl crush, Jenny Shimizu (above), in what appears to be cheetah boxers.

What luck! In a week that turned out to be all about the kill, we're introducing our brand new Music Issue on newsstands now, featuring cover stars The Kills. Coincidence? We think so! Anyway, read all about the everlasting musical union between Mr. Hince and Ms. Mosshart -- and the new album they made -- here. Also in our May issue:

We've been fans of NYC clothing label Sophomore for quite some time. And while we definitely fawn over the designs by Chrissie Miller and Madeleine von Froomer, we're also pretty obsessed with their documentary-style video lookbooks, shot by photographer Cass Bird each season. The latest film to roll out is for their SS11 collection, and we're loving the concept. This is Truth or Dare.

● Extra sensitivity is needed as the situation in Japan escalates to terrifying new heights. Gilbert Goddfried, the voice of the Aflac/Afquack duck, was fired after making tasteless jokes on his twitter. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon's Hereafter has been pulled from Japanese theaters because of tsunami scenes.

She insists that Business School is something she's doing for her female fans. "In order for my company to grow and be the best, and to reach these women, and to serve them, I needed the best," she said, "So I went to the best."
