&nbsp; <p class=”MsoNormal”><strong><span lang=”TR”>Chanel cancels Hadid exhibit: </span></strong><span lang=”TR”>The Chanel Mobile Art exhibit was meant to travel the world — but no longer. Chanel called it quits on the exhibition, citing the economic crisis as the main factor. The brainchild of Zaha Hadid and Karl Lagerfeld, the giant handbag-cum-building was one of the most ambitious mergers of fashion and art to date.

Kristen Chenoweth of <em>Pushing Daisies</em> is joining the cast of his new legal drama, to play a “cheerful and brilliant attorney who nonetheless exhibits flashes of psychosis.” Kelley and <em>Pushing Daisies</em> and insanity makes for a great combination.

Working with Aston Martin, Foster aims to create “a British icon for the 21st century” with a sleek look, wooden floors and solar panels. However, there’s some drama to deal with before Foster gets the green light — all designs are being passed on to bus manufacturers for a final evaluation.

Following EU protocol, the change would reward an artist’s family’s “sacrifice” by giving them up to four percent of work resold at an auction or gallery. But due to the economy (shocker!), the law won’t be implemented until 2012, even later from the original 2006 date when the idea was conceived and supported by artists like Damien Hirst, Holly Johnson and Steve Bell.

The gory film has a charming plotline about Amanda Seyfried killing her best friend (Megan Fox) becuase she has been possessed by a demon and started killing all the boys in their high school. Adam Brody, who hasn’t done anything interesting since <em>The O.C.</em>, plays the goth rocker/demon; we’ll see if he’s able to do small town horror as well as he did Newport geek chic.
