Bye, Bye Nicole
Filed under: Beauty Buzz > Nicole Kidman > Francophilia
Fames fragrance Chanel No. 5 is swapping out Nicole Kidman for Audrey Tatou as the face of the iconic perfume.
The French actress was such a no-brainer choice.
She's so French and chic, two words that come to mind when we think Chanel!
Chanel is re-teaming Audrey with Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet for her 2009 commercial TV debut as brand whore.
Congrats!

She's sooooo pretty.
THAT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!
(o^_^)V
Audrey is the most beautiful actress in the world!
it's audrey TAUTOU not tatou!!!!!!!!!
Is that my mama she's wearing?
elle est superbe!
From sexless to dazzling…a phenomenal choice…
Modern Day Audrey Hempburn
I loved her in Love Me If You Dare…but after the 911 comments, I am SO over her. I would respect her anti-American self a little more if she had declined the Oscar, but to accept a quintessentially American award—what a fucking hypocrite.
Audry will also be playogn Coco Chanel is the bio pic, so it's probably why she was choosen. It's good publicity.
She is wearing fur, she does not deserve to make more money to buy even more fur. I am angry as hell and will never buy Chanel products so long as this heartless brainless airhead is advertising for them. GRRRRRRR …….
great choice, she's beautiful
Re: Rozzy – like all french women,it's not like american women!!
she is so mumsy! don't like her boring as hell
she said that americans caused 911. apparently, we all decided that it was too costly to renovate the twin towers, so we all secretly decided to destroy the towers and sacrifice a couple thousand people in the process. i mean, seriously, we heartless americans could never possibly think about the many children losing their parents, the families being destroyed, and the many industries being affected…right?
it's audrey TAUTOU idiot!!!
Re: Ugh – Hey get your facts straight. The French actress who made comments about 911 is Marion Cotillard. Her comments were quoted out of context, so don't get all ready for French-bashing again.
Re: Ungrateful FROG – She also said that Americans did NOT land on the moon. She said that we're all just overly-ambitious and in constant need of attention. Apparently, we staged the moon-landing. We're just crazy, competitive liars who fooled the entire world! Tautou loves us, huh?
Perez,
Don't give her any space on your site. She hates Americans (especially fat ones like you!)
-TP
Too bad the fur she is wearing makes her look sooooo ugly! She should be ashamed of herself.
Re: Ungrateful FROG –
sorry but i'm sure that if g.w.bush would lost money,(petrol)he would do that!!don't u see that he sacrifies every day some innocent people in irak war,he has no mercy,no pity with that!!he doesn't want loose money,all is about money,all presidents are like that!!!so don't be so naive!!open eyes!!i think bush doesn't matter your lives!!
Re: Ungrateful FROG – Name-calling is the lowest form of communication. Why do you call French people frogs for God's sake. Frogs are cute anyway. Besides, you got your French actresses all mixed up. There is Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard, the later being the one who made innocent comments about 911, which caused reason for more French-bashing, an American much loved sport.
What the f*ck is she wearing? If she thinks wearing animal carcass is "fashionable" then she's neither bright nor humane…. and if that's the case, I'm boycatting Chanel (even if that just means not buying my old auntie her favorite perfume this Christmas this year).
Je pense que tous les americains sont gros et laids
You're mixing Marion Cotillard with audrey tautou…
Re: nina – hahahaha she wish, fist the real Audrey Hempburn never will wear that ugly coat she was pore class not trashy wife ganster wanna be.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH IN AMELIE!!
IT'S THE MOVIE OF MY LIFEEEEEEE!!!
GREAT CHOICE, BECAUSE SHE WILL BE PLAYING CHANEL IN HER NEXT MOVIE!!!!
If she had made those comments about 911 (which she didn't, it was another French actress), I would totally agree. Americans ARE heartless idiots only in the pursuit of money. Fucking fatass, ignorant capitalists. Hopefully China will take you out soon. Vive la France!
yes, someone seems to have confused Marion and Audrey. at any rate, the french have always disliked americans. it's some kind of inferiority complex. i would hate us too if i wasn't american.
Europeans love their fur. Whether it's on their body naturally (by way of NEVER shaving), or from innocent animals. Primitive, pretentious assholes.
She's completely naturally stunning;
a great choice…
I just hope that feathers/fur thing she has on is fake…
>.
i love her im so glad people are going to get to see her more
I love Audrey Tatou!
it's audrey tautou….
Re: Je suis francais – FUCK YOU! JE PENSE QUE TU EST UN/UNE IDIOTE!
oh dear, she is wearing fur like a french whore
Yay!!!! I never understood the choice of Nicole Kidman. She's not even French! Go Audrey!
Oh, I love Audrey Tautou so much! She's so beautiful. You've seen Amelie, right? If you haven't, you have to go rent it right now. She's hypnotic.
I LOVE her. She is just adorable!!! And to all you fur wearing bashers…do you eat meat? Girls, do you wear makeup? What about perfume/cologne?Then get off of it. You're killing and testing on animals too!! Sheesh. (and no, I don't wear fur I'm just trying to make a point.)
Isn't she the America hating cunt? Whatever.
I love Audrey! She's one of the best actresses on this planet. I can't wait to see the work those two put out. Amelie is STILL one of my all time favorite movies
pretty girl — but can we get the teeth fixed? ew. there's no excuse for that (she's got the money and she SHOULD have the motivation). i've never understood why celebs will fix their body, face, whatever, and leave their teeth all jacked up (yes, cher, i'm talking about you and ethan hawke, and a few more of you who will remain as of now, un-named …)
Cool! I love Audrey, she's one of my favorite French actresses.
YESSS SHE'S ADOABLEI LOVE HER
BETTER THAN NICOL KIDMAN
Re: Ugh – You are thinking of the other acttor who one the ocsar. She has not won one nor did she make the 9/11 comments. Duh
Smart choice. Nicole's not up to it. Too cold and wooden.
She should replace Nicole Kidman in the Golden compus. If you read the books, the person Nicole Kidman plays should have dark hair and features. Audrey Tatou fits the features and is a better actress.
She is cute, I want to dress her as a school girl and jer cough into her eyes
PUUURRRRFFFFUUUCCCCTTT choice …. Much better than Nicole"I have a stick up my ass" Kidman . I would jump the fence for Audrey!! Dericiouse!
amelie is my favorite movie of all time. i am so happy for audrey tautau!!
Re: Steve – The author of The Golden Compass and the rest in the series modeled the character on Nicole, and also personally asked her to be in the film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's audrey TAUTOU, not tatou!! it's really not the same! don't you know that a "tatou" in French is some freakin' animal??
Noooo!!!! I Love Nicole. Why are they replacing her for some ugly french girl? Nicole is way prettier and a way better actress. This sucks!!!
fug fugly ugly fuck hug fucking gross fuggy shit fugger warpig fugged LOL
Actually, I think that Audrey Tatou looks childish. They should have gone with Marion Cotillard. Now SHE totally screams French Chic to me.
I'm so glad they picked Audrey she is so much prettier and has has softer looking skin then that kidman
She's absolutely adorable!
I usually can't stand this trend of celebrities as models, but this is such a perfect choice for Chanel.
It was Marion Cotillard who made the 911 comments. Audrey is stunning and I'm not sure that is fur she is wearing. Somehow I can't imagine any of those fake hollywood sluts being asked to advertise Chanel, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Paris Hilton HA! don't think so bitches
Re: ex-fatso –
Re: The Fox –
How do you know she's wearing real fur, eh?
Way to go off topic…
If she hated Americans, why would Perez speak so highly of her?
It's TAUTOU and not TATOU!!!!!
Hell yes! I don't really care about the Chanel part of the deal — I'm over the moon about Tautou and Jeunet working together again! Those two are just brilliant together… Amelie is one of the best movies ever made and A Very Long Engagement is a solid film.
I wonder if they're giving it to her because she's portraying Ms Coco Chanel herself in "Coco Avant Chanel"?
This must be because she's gonna be playing Coco Chanel in the biopic Coco Avant Chanel, she's PERFECT for chanel!
HaHa First Tom Dumps Kidman for a younger prettier brunette,now Chanel does the same thing.Hope Keith Urban does the same thing.I hope Keith Urban does the same thing really soon
Those French actresses are lunatics. They believe in stupid conspiracy theories and they Hate on America.
To be honest, Nicole is a class act and about a million times prettier than that plain girl.
There is no comparison. Nicole is one of the most beautiful women in the world.
#67 - a french girl says – reply to this
It's audrey TAUTOU, not tatou!! it's really not the same! don't you know that a "tatou" in French is some freakin' animal??
Oh, like the one she is wearing?
Chanel no 5 is such an 'old women's' perfume!!!
they made a big big bad misstake making her the face Chanel No5 is the most famous perfume there is marilyn Monroe was the face of it for god sake only really big names should be the face of chanel No5
shes just nobody if they wanted a french woman to be the face they should have got Marion Cotillard she's prettier more famous and also french she would make the perfume better this girl will f**k up the famous perfume forever need to bloodly change the woman NOW!!!!!!!!! i didn't like nicole as the face but she's better than Audrey WhatsHerFace
I do not like this actress. She is soooo thin and her mouth freaks me out. Her lips are just weird I can't even watch her talk. Yuck, grandma mouth.
I loved her in Amelie! She is naturally beautiful!
YAY!
nicole is skanky, dried up and over stretched–I wouldn;t buy anything she's selling
Re: Ugh – FUCK HEAD she's not the french actress who made the 911 comments. They have more than one actress in france. Quit waving your fucking flag for a few minutes, and READ something
nicoles better
She also looks real.
No botox.
A normal person.
Hope marketing people turns again to real people to advertise.
Stop the robots.No botox.Free your face!
Chanel number 5!!
I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE PRODUCT WAS NOT SELLING AT ANY OF THE DEPARTMENT STORES THAT I GO TOO. ESPECIALLY MACY'S THIS FRAGRANCE WAS JUST SITTING ON THE SHELVES AT MACY'S IN PARTICULAR.
WAY TO GO CHANEL YOU'VE MADE A WISE DECISION AND GET RIDE OF THIS OLD FREEZE FACE.
Re: the truth –
It wasn't her it was Marion Cotillard.HER name is Audrey TAUTOU Perez.Good choice at least Audrey is French Chanel is a French brand after all and she looks more natural than botoxed face Nicole Kidman.
Re: Ugh –
Haha ha!!
You better think before speaking!
It's Audrey TAUTOU not Marion Cotillard!
Ahhhhhhhh!!! Je l'adore beaucoup!!! Et Amelie ! ! !
Its Audrey "Tautou", fuckhead. Don't piss all over her.
Re: Je suis francais – Je ne suis pas d'accord. Je suis américaine et je pense que tu es une prostituée raciste stupide.
I LOVED her in Amelie and The DaVinci Code. She's a very good actress but she looks much better with longer hair.
Re: USA proud – The French have an inferiority complex because of the USA ? You made my day, it is the other way around. The American are mad with jealousy about anything French. At the bottom of their heart they KNOW the French are far superior. Remember when President Kennedy said: "I think I should now formally introduce myself: I'm the man who came to Paris with Jacqueline Kennedy". From that moment Jacqueline became an icon in the USA, because she had won the hearts of the French - probably because she had a few drops of French blood in her veins. That is where her beauty and elegance came from. No USA, you cannot even dream of competing with France with all your obese and money-crazy people. French people have joie de vivre and VIVE LA BELLE FRANCE !!!!!!!!!
Re: lisa the bitch – There we go with the american obsession on teeth again. French girls love their teeth NATURAL. American actors and actresses all look like they have false teeth when they flash those artificial smiles. Natural is better, stop fixating on teeth, get an education.
It's AUDREY TAUTOU, not Tatou you idiot.
You judge people lives but cannot even right their name correctly???
Re: Ugh – That was Marion Cotillard you imbecile!!! This is Audrey Tatou……you are the reason the French hate American's!! Last time I checked this was a free country and everyone has the right to say whatever….no one knows that better than Mario Lardass.
It was Marion Cotillard NOT Audrey Tautou who made those comments. Check your sources before ranting moron!Re: Ugh –
Thank GOD! nicole Kidman makes me want to BARF. Audrey Tatou is way better for the job!
shes been my favorite actress for about 5 years.
Re: Ugh –
she wasn't in Love me if you Dare. That was Marion Cotillard.
