Karl Lagerfeld Disses Kate Middleton, Calls Mom Carole ‘Sexier’ Than Her

Katrina Mitzeliotis — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 20:20:35 +0000

After already making rude remarks regarding Pippa, the outspoken designer is now attacking the Duchess! He gushes about the matriarch of the family, claiming she’s the best looking Middleton woman of them all.

Karl Lagerfeld certainly isn’t afraid to speak his mind, and while he may have insulted Pippa’s face, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have an affinity for a certain Middleton woman — but unlike the rest of the world, he isn’t gushing about the divine Duchess! Instead, Karl thinks the matriarch of the family, Carole Middleton, is the sexiest of them all.

“I think Carole is very sexy. I think the mother is sexier than the daughters. There is something full of life about her. For a woman who must be 50 or so I think she’s great. Full of energy,” he told Grazia magazine.

For the record, Carole is 57. As for the comments he made to the Sun regarding Pippa’s face, Karl took the opportunity to clarify. While he previously stated, “Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back,” he tells Grazia:

“I didn’t mean that! I only meant I don’t think her make-up is right; she has a roundish face and round eyes and she should pick another make-up for the eyes.” Not the best way to talk around another one of his infamous comments, but hey, it could be worse! After all, who could forget the fury he caused when he called Adele fat? Rumor has it, she was sent a slew of Chanel to make up for the comments — does that mean Pippa could expect to receive a delivery?

Carole & Michael Middleton Will Stay Quiet About Pippa & James Nude Pics — Should They Speak Out?

Hollywood Life Staff — Wed, 11 May 2011 12:59:32 +0000

Pippa and James’ mother and father will not address their children’s recent photo scandals — is this the right way to handle the situation?

Pippa and James Middleton have taken over the media the past few days with both being at the center of a nude photo scandal. Pippa found photos of herself topless on vacation and dancing in a bra plastered all over the Internet and James found racy Facebook photos leaked to various sites — but don’t expect their parents to comment! US Weekly spoke with a source who said, “Carole and Michael say they will just stay silent when questions are asked or allegations of any kind are made.” Is that wise?

“The Middletons have handled themselves in a dignified manner, whether the press is good or bad,” the source goes on to say. “They can handle a lot more then people give them credit for.”

While the family, despite some reports claiming they are simply social climbers, have portrayed themselves as the epitome of class ever since the Royal Wedding, should they remain quiet? One would imagine it must be impossible to see your two children have private photos splashed all over the Internet and in magazines and newspapers.

What do you think HollywoodLifers? Should the Middletons maintain their silence or speak out?

Middleton Family 'Embarrassed' By Pippa & James Nude Pics! New Report.

Hollywood Life Staff — Mon, 09 May 2011 18:25:53 +0000

The Middletons consider legal action after a slew of scandalous photos of their children James and Pippa find there way on the Internet — and the Queen is none too pleased!

Pippa and James Middleton have both become two of the most famous people in the world following the wedding April 29 of their sister Kate to Prince William, and now they are feeling some severe repercussions. Photos of the two in various states of undress have been splashed across the Internet and the Middleton family is not very happy — and taking legal action!

“James and Pippa are really embarrassed,” a friend tells The Telegraph. “How were they supposed to know when these pictures were taken that they would be put under such scrutiny?”

The problem it seems is that friends are leaking the photos, something that is not sitting well with the family. Especially since the photos are from years ago, likely while the two were at University.

“The whole family is furious at what they see as a betrayal,” says a friend of the Middletons. The family actually immediately went in to action to have the photos taken down of James without clothes and Pippa topless, but both can still be seen on some sites.

The Queen meanwhile is said to not actually be angry about the photos though sources say it is embarrassing for the royal family.

What do you think of these photos HollywoodLifers? Embarrassing or normal behavior for college kids?

Royal Wedding Cost The Middleton Family Almost $500,000 — Should They Have Been Forced To Pay?

Hollywood Life Staff — Mon, 02 May 2011 19:40:13 +0000

The family of the bride often picks up the tab at the wedding, but was it unfair for the royal family to have Kate Middleton’s folks absorb $500,000 of the wedding costs?

Kate Middleton‘s parents may be happier than anyone the Royal Wedding is finally over — it is rumored to have cost them almost $500,000! The Daily Mail reports, “As speculation intensifies over the family’s wealth, inquiries have revealed that the wedding has cost them at least £250,000.” Or, roughly $420,000. That’s one VERY pricey weekend wedding.

Among the costs were the family’s rooms at the Goring Hotel as well as the price of two parties, a buffet two days before the wedding for 120 guests and an even more extravagant party the night of the wedding! “Even if some Middleton guests paid for their rooms and the family secured a discount they will still be facing a bill approaching £100,000,” according to the Mail.

Then there is the question of the bridal wears. The Mail reports, “Kate’s bridal gown, designed by Sarah Burton, is said to have cost up to £40,000. Carole’s outfit by Catherine Walker would have cost £10,000 and Pippa’s dress, also by Sarah Burton, about £20,000.”

It was not just the women either as, “Morning suits for Michael and James, by Gieves & Hawkes, would have cost £10,000. The Middletons would have also paid for suits and dresses for the evening, costing up to £20,000.”

Carole and Michael Middleton of course have a very successful party planning company, Party Pieces, but that is still a whole lot of money!

The question is however, given how opulent the wedding had to be, was it right to have the Middletons foot such a large bill? What do you think HollywoodLifers?

NARS makeup artist Alexis Androulakis tells us that a smokey-eye and contoured cheeks helps you capture better photographs at a wedding. If you’re going to wear false lashes for the day, she suggests using individual lashes rather than strip lashes for a more natural bridal look.
