Karl Lagerfeld Insults Adele
Karl Lagerfeld was guest editor in for Metro Paris, and, in the words of the Today Show, “took it upon himself to give his (very frank) two cents on different topics…” That of course is a nice way of saying he probably should have kept his mouth shut.
What he said about Adele:
I prefer Adele and Florence Welch. But as a modern singer she is not bad.The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She’s not alone with implants.
On why he’d be a lesbian if he were Russian:
If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.
One M.I.A., her middle finger, and “people in magazines”:
Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly – it’s not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what’s new about that? It’s just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.
On Michele Obama:
Yes he does, especially because of Mrs. Obama. I’m a big fan of Mrs. Obama – and her face, I think, is magical. He would not be there without her. There was an article by some stupid woman, I forgot who, and she said she [Mrs. Obama] was poorly dressed. Mrs. Obama is not a fashion statement, she has other things to do. …My favorite line of Mrs. Obama is when a journalist asked her if she thought her skirts were not too tight and she answered, “Why you don’t like my big black ass?” This is a line I admire. She got me with that. So I want Mr. Obama who I think is very okay— because there is nothing better anyway — [to be re-elected], especially because of her.”

Lagerfeld also did some sketches for Metro, something he probably should have focused more on (instead of talking).

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie May Get Married Before Same Sex Marriage is Legal
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie famously promised to not marry until same sex marriage was legal in the US, but Hollywood Life says Pitt told The Hollywood Reporter they (may have) changed their mind.
After seven years and six children together, Brad Pitt says he’s finally ready to take the next step in his relationship with Angelina Jolie — marriage! “We’d actually like to,and it seems to mean more and more to our kids,” he revealed in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out.”

Elton John’s Husband David Furnish Disses Madonna’s Globe Win
David Furnish, Elton John’s husband, let off some steam on Facebook after Madonna bested Elton John at the Golden Globes, winning the award for best song. Madonna’s “Masterpiece” from W.E. beat Elton John’s “Hello Hello” from Gnomeo & Juliet. Furnish said:
Madonna. Best song???? Fuck off!!!!
Thanks for all your supportive comments and support. Madonna winning Best Original Song truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit. Her acceptance speech was embarrassing in it’s [sic.] narcissism. And her critisism of Gaga shows how desperate she really is.
TMZ reports that “Elton seemed particularly bitter towards Madonna before the awards … telling one reporter [Carson Daly] on the red carpet he believed Madge had no “f**kin’ chance” of emerging victorious.” Video below:
The award in question, for what it’s worth, was presented to Madonna by Adam Levine and Bradley Cooper. Yum.

Rosie and Kelly Split
Rumors have been floating around for a couple years that Rosie O’Donnell and wife Kelli Carpenter have been split. I haven’t posted them here because, well, their personal life is personal. That said, Rosie seem to have confirmed the split on her Sirius XM radio program. People.com quotes her this way:
On her Sirius Satellite radio show, O’Donnell suddenly admitted Carpenter had moved out of their home two years ago. The reason for the big reveal? A pressing psychic and a long-haired Chihuahua.
“Where did you get her from Rosie? Because she says she came from somewhere. And she said she’s happier with you,” pet psychic Sonya Fitzpatrick said of O’Donnell’s dog Misty. “She’s so spoiled and she loves to burrow.”
And, when asked who “sometimes looks after her,” O’Donnell explained her four children all fight over caring for the pup, which she got three days after Carpenter left. “What happened [was] when Kelli moved out two years ago, I got the dog. Because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog.”
