While I think Nicole is highly overrated as an actress, her ads for Chanel showed her to be an absolutely stunningly beautiful woman.

Aubrey just looks....plain? Granted she's a good looking woman, but she just comes across as average beautiful. BUT hey, it's their dime, I sure could have picked a hundred beauties more outstanding that her. And I still don't understand her choice in The Da VInci Code. She seemed way out of her league.

Kidman is just too cold for Channel. She is after all 60% plastic and 40% flesh & bones.

Audrey Tatou is beautiful and much more the Chanel type. She was great in the Da Vinci Code, as well.

Ms. Tatou has a very interesting face.

Isn't always about the money? Kidman wanted too much and couldn't deliver to her client a compelling reason to pay her. Tatou is younger and if sales don't dip, a better bang for the buck. Dumped is a great word to get eyeballs to read your copy. Better than her contract wasn't extended. How about F-I-R-E-D? Dumped is when a personal relationship goes sour.

Ms. Kidman's commercial on top of the Empire State Building was terrific! I wanted to know more, even though I know it is all hype. Chanel has made a mistake. I am sure it will not hurt Nicole at all.

I'm sure Nicole Kidman is not losing any sleep over this. Why say she was "dumped"? Kidman was the face for the campaign for several years, and now there's a new face. I think this is mean-spirited for no reason.

Btw, I am not a fan of her acting. I just think it's lame to try and create controversy where non exists.

Wasn't this the one who was soo excited when she got her Oscar, really livened up the show. Afterward she decided to give her two cents on what she thought of the war (or something like that)?

Nicole Kidman really brought class back to Chanel. Very reminiscent of Christian Dior. She will be a hard act to follow.

No, you have the wrong person. You are talking about Marion Cotillard who won an oscar for her portrayal of Edif Piaf! I love how Americans think one French Actress is the same as another. Typical ignorance!

you just lumped all Americans together, what does that say about you! Please don't insult all Americans over one persons mistake. Talk about ignorance....

Nicole Kidman is a class act.
