The site is not abandoned, just having a few issues. I myself am taking a personal hiatus. There really hasn’t been much news on Audrey lately save for bits and pieces about her playing Coco and it’s only a name mention and hardly worth mentioning here on the site. Kari will update soon I’m sure if she pops up in the news and such.

Audrey Tautou has always worn Chanel.The French actress – who plays legendary designer Coco Chanel in new movie ‘Coco Before Chanel’ – is a fan of her clothes and believes they are wardrobe classics.She said: ‘Did I own any Chanel clothes before? I’m a French actress. Of course, I did! I had a few jackets, dresses, shoes and a favourite leather jacket that I wear all the time!’Audrey added she was disappointed she didn’t get to keep the clothes she wore for the film.She explained to Britain’s Grazia magazine: ‘I’d have loved to keep some of the clothes from the movie too – especially the little green riding jacket and hat that she wears in one scene. But all the clothes are going to the Chanel museum, which is where they belong, of course.’Audrey added she put pressure on herself while shooting the movie as she became convinced the legendary designer was watching her.She said: ‘I wondered if she was looking down on me. I was thinking, ‘Be confident. Be strong. Be the boss. Just like Coco herself and whatever you do don’t screw up.’ ‘

Hey everyone! I know I’ve been horrible about updating this site lately and for that I apologize. I’m going to have a new layout and some other things added to the site pretty soon so stay tuned for that. I just added some images from Audrey at the “Coco Avant Chanel” Madrid premeire and VIP Screening to the gallery that took place in May that I apparently forgot to add so enjoy those! Audrey looks beautiful in yellow.
London, England (BANG) – Audrey Tautou wanted to study monkeys. The “Coco Before Chanel” star admits acting was never her ambition until she reached her late teens and started to enjoy socializing.
She said: “I didn’t plan to become an actress. I had no clue fame would land on me. As a child, I wanted to study monkeys but I changed my mind with the onset of hormones and suddenly I was a teenager and I found partying more interesting than nature and got into art and theater and movies.”
Audrey mainly works in her native France because she prefers the anonymity it gives her compared with life in America.
She explained to Britain’s Independent newspaper: “I like working once in a while in Hollywood because it’s like a holiday but I am happy in France doing what I do.”
“I am happy with my life, I have enough money, I like to be myself. I like to dance when I am drunk and have a good time. I don’t go out much. I stay with my friends. This is what I like.”

Thanks to Maria from Eva Green Web, we have scans from the May 27 issue of Vanity Fair Italy in the gallery! Check them out below:
ISTANBUL – One of the world’s most prestigious perfumes, Chanel No. 5, has chosen Audrey Tautou to replace Nicole Kidman as its new face and Istanbul as the location of the advertising film.
The 20-minute film, which was prepared in four months, was released online on May 5. A 45-second version of the film will also be broadcast on television.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the director of “Amelie,” the film that made Tautou famous, shot the advertisement. Jeunet and his team, stayed for three weeks in Istanbul last May to shoot the footage. “This is not an advertising film but a short film,” Jeunet said.
It is reported that the film cost $23 million-$25 million.
$2.5 million to Tautou
In the film, Tautou departs from Venice and comes to Istanbul by Orient Express. A young man, played by model Travis Davenport, falls in love with the woman because of her perfume. The two find each other in Istanbul again thanks to the perfume. The film does not include any dialogue. The Haydarpa?a train station, the Bosphorus, the Bosphorus Bridge and boats are seen in the film.
Tautou also visits the Egyptian Bazaar in the film. It is not yet known how much money Tautou was paid for the film, but Kidman, the previous face of the perfume, received $3.71 million. It is reported that Tautou received at least $2.5 million for the film.

Audrey’s new Chanel No. 5 commercial has been released and I’ve posted it below. Audrey looks beautiful as always!
A film poster depicting Audrey Tautou as a cigarette-smoking Coco Chanel has left advertising watchdogs in France fuming — it has been banned throughout the Parisian transport system.
The French actress stars as the iconic couturier, who died aged 87 in 1971, in a biopic entitled “Coco avant Chanel.”
And to advertise the film’s release, posters were placed on bus and train advertising boards throughout the French capital.
The image shows Tautou laid on a bed holding a cigarette, a 50-a-day habit for which the real Chanel was famous.
But the transportation authority and the country’s Health Minister Claude Evin have slammed the ad, branding it “unhealthy and inappropriate” following France’s decision to enforce a smoking ban in public places.
The poster has been swapped by unhappy film bosses, who insist the image depicts the true essence of France’s first daughter of fashion.
A rep for Warner France, the film’s studio, says, “For us, the real poster is where Coco Chanel is smoking in a natural pose that translates her strong personality and her modernity.”
