Bye, Bye Nicole

Filed under: Beauty Buzz > Nicole Kidman > Francophilia

audreytatou__opt1.jpg

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!

    18

    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.

  19. Chanelli says – reply to this


    19

    Audry will also be playogn Coco Chanel is the bio pic, so it's probably why she was choosen. It's good publicity.

  20. Petra says – reply to this


    20

    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 …….

  24. Ungrateful FROG says – reply to this


    24

    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?

  25. amandine says – reply to this


    25

    it's audrey TAUTOU idiot!!!

  26. French Lady says – reply to this


    26

    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.

  27. Haha says – reply to this


    27

    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?

  28. UgPass says – reply to this


    28

    Perez,

    Don't give her any space on your site. She hates Americans (especially fat ones like you!)

    Too bad the fur she is wearing makes her look sooooo ugly! She should be ashamed of herself.

    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!!

  31. Name-calling says – reply to this


    31

    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.

  32. TimeZone says – reply to this


    32

    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).

    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!!!!

  37. France > America says – reply to this


    37

    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!

  38. USA proud says – reply to this


    38

    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.

  39. Fur-wearing BITCH says – reply to this


    39

    Europeans love their fur. Whether it's on their body naturally (by way of NEVER shaving), or from innocent animals. Primitive, pretentious assholes.

  40. Rick Hilton says – reply to this


    40

    She's completely naturally stunning;
    a great choice…
    I just hope that feathers/fur thing she has on is fake…

  47. mandy says – reply to this


    47

    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.

  48. tatoufan says – reply to this


    48

    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.)

    51

    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 …)

  55. always says – reply to this


    55

    Smart choice. Nicole's not up to it. Too cold and wooden.

  56. Steve says – reply to this


    56

    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.

  57. Ivana Jercough says – reply to this

    She is cute, I want to dress her as a school girl and jer cough into her eyes

    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??

  62. julie says – reply to this

    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!!!

    Actually, I think that Audrey Tatou looks childish. They should have gone with Marion Cotillard. Now SHE totally screams French Chic to me.

  65. dianel says – reply to this

    I'm so glad they picked Audrey she is so much prettier and has has softer looking skin then that kidman

    I usually can't stand this trend of celebrities as models, but this is such a perfect choice for Chanel.

  68. coco says – reply to this


    68

    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

    If she hated Americans, why would Perez speak so highly of her?

  71. Okay Awsome says – reply to this


    71

    It's TAUTOU and not TATOU!!!!!

  72. Kcuf haey says – reply to this


    72

    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"?

  73. Lisa says – reply to this


    73

    This must be because she's gonna be playing Coco Chanel in the biopic Coco Avant Chanel, she's PERFECT for chanel!

    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.

    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.
