Madonna, who now lives in London and has acquired a Cockney accent, responded by shoving her Brigham Young (tongue) in their mouths, after singing her latest release, "Hollywood".As for the awards, Coldplay picked up another three gongs. Beyonce Knowles and Justin Timberlake also won three MTV "moonmen" trophies.Johnny Cash, the 71-year-old Country legend who was shortlisted for seven awards, won one, as did Eminem for his "Lose Yourself" video.. Chloe Sevigny - in denim shorts so cropped that the pockets hang down like floppy white ears - is deep in conversation with the Indy's photographer. As she pulls clothes out of a bag, she drawls, "You guys didn't say what you wanted. I was at a loss as to what to bring." She lays out a pair of navy shorts and matching bikini top ("my Daisy Dukes"); then a crumpled white bra top ("very pretty, very feminine, very blonde"). The bra top gets the thumbs up, she stays in the shorts, and hair and make-up go to work.

As the photographer begins shooting, she tells us about a club she went to on Saturday night, where, in order to get in, you had to take off your trousers (or, if you weren't wearing underpants, your top) "All these boys in their knickers ..." says Sevigny. "It was fun!" Chloe Sevigny - in denim shorts so cropped that the pockets hang down like floppy white ears - is deep in conversation with the Indy's photographer. "It was fun!" It's the fact that most of these boys were gay that makes this a "Chloe" story. She's never had a problem with flashing flesh, but her brand of sauce is hardly aimed at Joe Schmoe (she wants this to change, but more of that later). After the furore surrounding her d?t in Larry Clark's 1994 teen expos?Kids (in which various young girls get deflowered and she gets raped in the closing reel) she began collaborating with her boyfriend, Harmony Korine.

In their first project, Gummo, she pops up as a white trash sex-bomb intent on perking up her nipples Werner Herzog called the film a masterpiece. She's also appeared nude in a Sonic Youth video (alongside Macaulay Culkin), and more recently, gave Vincent Gallo a non-simulated blowjob in "poetic" road-movie Brown Bunny (the French press in Cannes loved that). Now comes Party Monster - the true story of a New York clubber, Michael Alig, who thought killing his drug dealer, Angel, was the greatest party trick of all It reunites Sevigny with Culkin (who plays Alig). She's one of his girlfriends, and doesn't wear a single outfit that reaches to her knees.

In the film's most notorious scene, the pair host an Emergency Ward party. He - attached to a drip - wears a surgical mask as a jockstrap; she's his kinky nurse.And yet the truth is, it's not simply hardcore hipness that's made Sevigny a legend; that's come about because, as if by magic, she's a gifted actress, too. In person, as on film, she looks like a languid 18th-century fop Or Lana Turner in a circus mirror. Or (and this only sometimes) Brian Connolly from the glam-rock band Sweet. What she adds to the androgynous weirdness is warmth, and it's that fractured glow which has made her so captivating in indie classics like Trees Lounge and julien donkey-boy (another Korine collaboration) and most spectacularly Boys Don't Cry (for which she was Oscar-nominated) The real-girl vibe also lights up Party Monster.
