And we have our first official look at Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel. In an orphanage, silently standing next to a perfectly made bed, is a frail and slender ten year old girl with thick black hair. Gabrielle Chanel, known as Coco, and her many lives. The story of the path taken by Coco from her obscure beginnings to the blinding lights of Paris. (Casty the Clown)
Next up we have a photo of Megan Fox in the Diablo Cody-penned horror film Jennifer’s Body. Fox plays the title character, Jennifer), a cheerleader possessed by a demon who starts feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town. [badandugly]
