Adele Talks About her Weight, Karl Lagerfeld Apologizes

Adele probably won't be wearing Chanel to the Grammy Awards on Sunday. Days after Karl Lagerfeld shared his sentiments on Adele's weight and music in Metro, he is apologizing for it.

The Chanel creative director sparked controversy earlier this week when he commented on the Grammy nominee's looks and talent in the newspaper. "The thing at the moment is Adele," he said. "She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice."

Speaking once again to Metro, Lagerfeld issued a statement about his previous comments. "I'd like to say to Adele that I am your biggest admirer. Sometimes when you take a sentence out of the article, it changes the meaning of the thought. What I said was in relation to Lana Del Rey and the sentence has since been taken out of context from how it was originally published," he said. "I actually prefer Adele, she is my favorite singer and I am a great admirer of her. I lost over 30 kilos over 10 years ago and have kept it off. I know how it feels when the press is mean to you in regards to your appearance. Adele is a beautiful girl. She is the best. And I can't wait for her next CD."

Regardless of what Lagerfeld thinks about the Grammy-nominated pop star, in a new interview with People magazine, Adele opens up about her appearance. "I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that," she said, according to the U.K. edition of Marie Claire.

"I'd lose weight if I was an actress and had to play a role where you're supposed to be 40 pounds lighter, but weight has nothing to do with my career. Even when I was signing (a contract), most of the industry knew if anyone ever dared say (lose weight) to me, they wouldn't be working with me."
