First Karl Lagerfeld said she was "too fat" and then he came out and apologized, saying that his words were taken out of context and he too knew the sting of being vilified for your weight in the press. But Adele has come forward to say she couldn't give a fat fuck one way or the other because she's never aspired to be a model and is proud to offer a little balance when it comes to the representation of different body types in the media. "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines," she said. "I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that." And it seems she's never been one to worry too much, saying last year that she tries to keep away from people who think weight is super-important. "I've seen people where it rules their lives, you know, who want to be thinner or have bigger boobs, and how it wears them down. And I just don't want that in my life," she said. "It's just never been an issue – at least, I've never hung out with the sort of horrible people who make it an issue. I have insecurities of course, but I don't hang out with anyone who points them out to me." [Daily Mail]

Don't you dare.' What's the difference? ... A conservative group in this country is asking a private company to fire an American citizen based upon her lifestyle. And I don't think that's correct … this JCPenney thing is a witch hunt and it shouldn't happen." [E!]


Though Scarlett Johansson, Charlize Theron and Jessica Chastain have been tipped to play Princess Diana in a series of films, Naomi Watts is confirmed to play her in Caught In Flight - which follows the Princess of Wales during the last two years of her life. "It is such an honour to be able to play this iconic role," said Watts. "Princess Diana was loved across the world, and I look forward to rising to the challenge of playing her on screen." Do you think she has what it takes, or should every serious biopic role be handed directly to Meryl Streep? [Deadline]
