NOT REALLY THAT COOL
Here's some dish on this downtown pair (from a very relaiable source indeed):
We'll start with the whisky-voiced Natasha Lyonne. We all know that she's had her run ins with the law: i.e. getting arrested for drunk driving and trying to get out of her ticket by exclaiming to a cop, "but....I'm a movie star!"- totally trashy. Especially because she puts on airs about not being a prissy celeb. Anywho, we hear that Miss Natasha has quite the habit and can often be found in decidely Uptown bars slurring her words and acting a fool.
Now, Chloe is another story. This Downtown doyenne always seems to be making a scene wherever she and her mullet-haired crew land. You think to yourself, she's always on the A-list, at the coolest bars, and on the V.I.P list for Fischerspooner shows. However, we can report that the scenester herself was indeed spotted at the (now) very uncool Bowery Bar. Holding court in a booth and wearing that same fur thing, Chloe and her semi-greasy pals essentially chain-smoked for a good portion of the night. They looked a little jaded but lest we forget that they chose to be surrounded by the B.B. crowd: Greased up guys, Tube-toppers, and hangers-on.
