Head over to AOL's The Interface for a few live songs from Cat Power, as well as an interview lead by an excited accented woman. The Q&A doesn't touch on the news, reported by Women's Wear Daily, that Karl Lagerfeld tapped Chan to be "the new face" of Chanel's jerwelry line. From WWD:
I was outside waiting, sitting on a pile of Louis Vuitton luggage, drinking water, with an apple and a cigarette in my hand, my cell phone, oh, and two guitars, and out comes Karl. He walks up, looks at me and says, 'Only a woman can look glamorous when smoking.' And I lowered my glasses and pointed to [the shadows under my] eyes and said, "With these?"
We're behind Chan on this one 'cause it's less of a stretch than her being cast on SNL. But if she really wants it, we hear Lorne is a sucker for models. And Karl swooning for Chan shouldn't be such a surprise; just take a look at the tracklisting from Lagerfeld's "At Home" CD Compilation:
Devendra Banhart - "I Feel Just Like A Child" The Boy Least Likely To - "Be Gentle With Me" Minotaur Shock - "Vigo Bay" Lindstrom And Prinz Thomas - "Mighty Girl" Mayer/Aguayo - "Slow" LCD Soundsystem - "Too Much Love" Super Furry Animals - "The Proper Ornaments" The Pipettes - "Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me" Black Mountain - "No Satisfaction" Smokers Die Younger - "Yer Actual" Electrelane - "Eight Steps" Xavier Cugat - "Perfidia" Planningtorock - "I Wanna Bite Ya" The Fiery Furnaces - "I'm In No Mood" A Hawk And A Hacksaw - "Romceasca"
Looks like somebody's down the blogs.
