Choupette (and Karl Lagerfeld) Get Their Own Statue

When Japanese lifestyle brand Tokodoki released a Karl Lagerfeld statue last year, they were missing one crucial element — his beloved Choupette. Now, according to Vogue U.K., The brand finally got it right: To commemorate Lagerfeld's new collaboration (a limited edition line of jeans, scarves, and T-shirts emblazoned with his Kewpie-fied iconic image) Lagerfeld superfans can also snag the latest in Karl collectibles. It's a 26 centimeter tall statue of Lagerfeld clutching his adored, twitter-famous cat.

Karl Lagerfeld Slams Audrey Tautou, Twitter

Karl Lagerfeld, sayer of many ridiculous things, kept himself relatively in check during a recent interview with the Telegraph  — until he started in on how much he hated Audrey Tautou's portrayal of Coco Chanel in the 2009 biopic, to the "horrified expressions" of his publicists (Tautou was formerly the face of Chanel No. 5, so that's awkward).

Oh, the movie was bad. She played it like women's lib, like Simone de Beauvoir 30 years before The Second Sex. No, no, no, no. Chanel was a different kind of woman.

Instead, he prefers Keira Knightley, the actress and Chanel face he cast to play Coco in his new short film, Once Upon a Time. He also outfitted Knightley in a simple strapless dress and Chanel flats for her wedding to James Righton a few weeks ago, which he calls "simple" and "perfect":

She had the least pretentious wedding ever. The whole thing was relaxed. I think it's perfect. After all, they lived together for quite a time. It's not as if she is a young girl of 18 who sees the husband for the first time. She is not a country girl. Yes, I liked the light-heartedness of this wedding.

And finally, because everyone loves to picture Karl and Choupette cuddling in front of their respective iPads, what are his thoughts on newfangled things like Twitter and Facebook these days? "They lose a lot of time these people, and they become stupid because they nearly tell you they're going to the bathroom, eh?" But Choupette would never.

Karl Lagerfeld Thinks He Helped Adele Lose Weight

When asked if he could clarify his inflammatory comments about Adele being "a little too fat," Karl Lagerfeld told CNN last week, "I never said that she was fat. I said that she was a little roundish; a little roundish is not fat. But for such a beautiful girl, after that she lost eight kilos [17.6 pounds] so I think the message was not that bad." As for his statement that Pippa Middleton should "only ever show her back," he repeated, "I think that her sister looks better." At least he's consistent? He also talked about marrying his cat, so let's go ahead and take this whole interview with a grain of salt.
