Hollywood starlet Chloë Sevigny wants to solidify her East Village street cred, and may even go so far as to join the local community board, according to a video interview the actress did for Bust Magazine. The fashionable and oft-photographed 35-year-old, who lives in the East Village and is often seen hanging out in Tomkins Square Park, spoke extensively to the women's pop culture magazine about her longtime roots in the Manhattan neighborhood.

“I would never go to the Lower East Side or Nolita, no,” she said in the interview.  “I still feel like the East Village retains some of its kind of weirdo, East Village vibe.”She also spoke of the East Village ethos — personified by people like punk goddess Patti Smith, who Sevigny name-checked in the video — and of how the neighborhood has changed over the past 20 years.

In the opening minutes of Fox's monster hit "Glee," cheerleaders fly through the air, then form a human pyramid to a pounding soundtrack. The camera zooms in on coach Sue Sylvester, imperious in an Adidas track suit, a bullhorn in hand.

"You think this is hard?" she shouts to her panting crew. "Try being waterboarded. That's hard!" Although "Glee" shares DNA with "High School Musical" -- the Clearasil set frequently breaking into song -- this is no Disney treacle.

In December, to make way for "American Idol," Fox mothballed "Glee," sending fans into withdrawal. But it returns Tuesday after four months in detention. Have yet to see the series that earned a Golden Globe as television's best musical or comedy this year?

Hollywood actresses HEATHER GRAHAM and KRISTEN BELL are urging their fans to go barefoot for a day - to raise awareness of poverty-stricken children who can't afford shoes.

The stars are teaming up with American footwear firm TOMS Shoes and ditching their stilettos on 8 April (10) to prove how difficult it is to live without shoes - and they're hoping the campaign will encourage people to give generously to the cause.

Bell explains, "I'm going barefoot for one day without shoes to raise awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child's life. So join me on April 8. Take off your shoes and spread the word."

And Graham admits she's terrified about the prospect of walking barefoot, adding: "I'm pretty nervous about it because I live in New York City and it's really, really gross here."

Hairspray star Brittany Snow and documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock are among the other stars to take on the challenge.
