Cat Power Is Always In Fashion

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.
