As we mentioned earlier, the legendary Coco Chanel has two film biopics coming out this year that chronicle her life as the designer of the iconic Parisian fashion house that we've all come to know and love.

Shirley MacLaine will star in the television adaptation set to air on the Lifetime TV channel, which will follow Chanel's later years returning to Paris, after exiling herself in Germany and Switzerland during World War II.

Meanwhile, French actress Audrey Tautou has been tapped as the lead in the Chanel feature-length movie, Coco Avant Chanel. And according to a little rumor courtesy of WWD, Tautou may also be fronting the equally fabulous Chanel No.5 perfume campaign.

Tres chic, no?

If this is indeed true, then it will mean that Nicole Kidman's reign at Chanel is finally over. Thank god! While we've never really had anything against Kidman, she has always came across as cold and a bit frigid to us.

But then again, that could just be all of the Botox that has consumed her face.

Anyways, it will be nice to see a more warm and inviting personality acting as spokesmodel for the perfume.
