We knew that actor-director-musician-unfathomable genius Vincent Gallo was unpredictable, but this latest news really caught us off guard. WWD reports that he'll star in Dutch clothing label G-Star's fall men's campaign alongside British actress Gemma Arterton. "Vincent is unorthodox, authentic, imperfect and raw — all characteristics matching G-Star's DNA," says the label's global brand director, Shubhankar Ray. "We are happy to have an independent trailblazer and cultural artist like Vincent as our new face."

Since 1978, Playboy has run their "20Q" feature where they've asked everyone from Al Pacino to Bettie Page 20 questions about their work and personal life. The latest person on the hot seat is actress and designer Chloë Sevigny. In a rather candid but playful interview for the January issue of the magazine (accompanied by the above photo), Sevigny breaks down everything that the media has pegged her for, including that infamous scene with Vincent Gallo in 2003's The Brown Bunny. "What’s happened with that is all very complicated. There are a lot of emotions. I’ll probably have to go to therapy at some point," the actress reveals to Playboy. "But I love Vincent. The film is tragic and beautiful, and I’m proud of it and my performance." Sevigny is refreshingly honest with every question thrown her way, including dating. It may come as a surprise, but she's actually a really big fan of texting—or sexting, even: "The other day I got a text from a boy, but it wasn’t hot. I mean, if you’re going to text me every day, you haven’t seen me for months and you’re trying to seduce me, you’d better spice up that text." And although you'd think the artistic guy is more her speed, she's actually into the opposite: "I want a guy who is masculine, good with his hands and able to build stuff and who has survival skills. Facial hair is a big turn-on. Most of the kids I hang out with in New York are hipster arty types, but I like a stronger, more physically imposing man—like a lumberjack."

Vincent Gallo’s last directorial outing, The Brown Bunny, earned boos at Cannes and sparked an exchange between the director and Roger Ebert wherein Gallo wished the critic death by colon cancer. At stake was a very precious art film in which Gallo meets a series of women before the inevitable getting-blown-by-Chloe-Sevigny denouement. Though not without at least a few fleeting moments of interest, it made Buffalo ‘66 seem densely plotted, and made much less of an impact critically and commercially. Now an early review from Venice has it that Gallo's latest, Promises Written in Water, is even more self-indulgent.

Sonic Youth is still ever so relevant within the world of music. Thank God! With only flickers of promising hope from young musicians, one is always prone to retreat to familiar and sublime melodies. That being said, I was so happy to say yes to an invite to hear the band’s new album, The Eternal, out June 9 on Matador Records. Coincidentally, my best friend -- the lovely and always chic Miss Kristin Vincent -- hosted the listening party at her Lower East Side bar, Home Sweet Home -- submerged within the confines of the building’s basement, speakeasy style.

A family man whose proudest achievements are not his films but his children, Francis Ford Coppola maintains, “Our families form the basis of our original view of life: I think most people are caught up in issues, experiences, and memories of their families, and I am no exception.” His newest film, Tetro, is not, however, autobiographical. Starring Vincent Gallo, it concerns the endurance test of a strained relationship between Italian brothers in the other America, south of several borders, in Argentina. “Even though this is fiction, I used what I know best: my life,” he explains.

Comparing the hotness in "regular" movies to porn action

● Nicole Kidman has joined Freida Pinto, Anthony Hopkins, Naomi Watts, Antonio Banderas, and Josh Brolin for the upcoming still-untitled Woody Allen film. [JustJared] ● Have you seen the new cover model for H&M this season? None other than Vincent Gallo. [Popism] ● Designer Dawn Simorangkir is suing Courtney Love for ruining her good name by claiming the designer sold coke and is a "horrible lying bitch." [TMZ]

Vincent Gallo joins Eva Herzigova and Shalom Harlow in a series of new ads for H&M. Outfitted in the Swedish mega-retailer’s Spring 2009 line, Gallo and the two supermodels pose alongside and, occasionally, inside oversized triangles, circles, and rectangles in a setting more befitting Old Navy Kids’ ads than H&M. But that’s not to say the demure ads aren’t stirring up their own bit of controversy.

● Now that we’ve all heard the Christian Bale freak-out, it’s time for the re-mix! Lucian Piane (RevoLucian) has done a brilliant club mix of Bale’s meltdown that’s bound to scream in your head all day. [PerezHilton] ● P Diddy is being sued by artist Tom Patti, who claims that the bottle design for Diddy’s fragrance “Unforgivable” is ripped from his sculpture. [TMZ] ● Vincent Gallo wants you to buy a wallet. Not just any wallet -- the Lucky Buck Lucky [Bleep] Wallet ($750). That’s a hefty price tag, but Gallo promises it will “open doors” and “garner respect,” but most importantly the wallet will “get you laid.” No word on whether it gets you a discount on Gallo's efforts to retail his own sperm.

I never apologize for anything in life. The only thing I’m sorry about is putting a curse on Roger Ebert’s colon. If a fat pig like Roger Ebert doesn’t like my movie then I’m sorry for him. -- Vincent Gallo
