Boy, Lifetime is really angling to become a fashion channel, what with the acquisition of Project Runway and this Coco Chanel bioplic. Despite receiving some pitiful reviews, we were still rather intrigued to see Shirley Maclaine’s portrayal of Chanel.

Underwhelmed? Us too. Oh well… here’s to the Audrey Tautou version, which will be overseen by Karl Lagerfeld and begins filming on the 15th September, for a 2009 release.
