The head of fashion house Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, has branded pop icon Adele "a little too fat".

The German designer let his controversial opinions known during an interview in which he also declared Russian men "ugly" and the Royal Family "unnecessary"

Speaking to the Metro New York newspaper, which he was guest-editing for the day, he said: "The thing at the moment is Adele.

"She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice."

Fans of the 23-year-old star have taken to networking site Twitter offering support following the comments.

American PR guru Kelly Cutrone hit out at Lagerfeld, writing: "If you love Adele then boycott Chanel - Boo Karl".

A fan tweeted: "A little too fat for what? Too fat to become a global phenomenon, or too fat to be a talentless clothes horse? This bloke seems like an idiot."

He was slightly more complimentary about US singer Lana del Rey who he said was "not bad at all".
Asked about Russia, the man known as King Karl said: "If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly."

Lagerfeld - who once said of Diana, Princess of Wales, "she was pretty and she was sweet, but she was stupid" - also took aim at the Queen who he described as "a more smiley version" of her grandmother.

Oh wait was he on vinyl?

A star studded no-prize is in the post to our lucky winner.

Word . . . And I still managed to drop one complete balls up cross fade at one point. WARNING! Never DL tracks from places like filestube and not actually check it out properly before before playing it out that same night, turns out the track (a rare 80's disco monster, so I had no choice of a high quality version) was only 128K and shite, when I cross faded over the even though the meters were supposedly showing that it was the same PFL as the previous track the volume just dropped and I had people looking at me shouting tuuuurn it uuuuup! I just had fade it down and play the next track immediately.

I enjoyed myself, thoroughly.

I'm only taking the piss.

I know :)

I had a great time, great tunes, awesome people. It doesn't get any better than that ^_^

Least you played XI, unlike SOME folk! *cough*petey*cough* ;)

I thought the tunes were great. Party turned into some crazy legged mental asylum when Chelseaboy dropped a load of his garage. Carnage on the dancefloor.

And then everyone left. Light weights.

Yes. Becuase there were bumholes to expose.

Our minirave was fucking ace. <3
