From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A large part of Jennifer Lawrence's appeal has been her humbleness and love of simple pleasures, but it's starting to grate on Chloe Sevigny.

In an interview with V Magazine, the American Psycho actress said she doesn't think Lawrence should be counted among the greats.

"I love when a movie star is a great movie star," she said.

"I think Angelina is a great movie star. I like Emma Stone. Whenever she's herself, she's really cute. Jennifer Lawrence I find annoying. Too crass."

Sevigny, who shies away from the spotlight, also said that she believes her own 'lack of charisma' is the reason she hasn't landed stronger roles.

"I'm afraid that maybe people think there's more personality than acting ability. I would like to be respected as an actress." she said.

"It's not like I can complain about anything. I think I've had great opportunities, but you can always have more.

"I understand star quality, how much value it carries. I don't think I have charisma. Which is probably why I never reached another level."

The actress has worked with Rizzoli on a new coffee table book, which is a celebration of bad taste.

"Everyone is so obsessed with good taste, and I find that really boring," she said of it.

"I was really selective and wanted to set a mood and capture this spirit of not, like, the pretty girl, the sexy girl, but a different quality."
