Karl Lagerfeld Brings 'Stilvoll' to Grand Theft Auto

Karl_lagerfeld_grand_theft_autoThe eagerly awaited Grand Theft Auto IV (due out Tuesday) has added a new character to its cast - the eccentric, monochromatic, self-fanning Karl Lagerfeld. The genius creative director of Chanel will not be participating in the great fun GTA is famous for: thieving cars, shooting people, dealing drugs and running over prostitutes, rather he'll be playing resident DJ, providing tracks the player can select as the soundtrack to their illicit rampage. I'm hotly anticipating a Kraftwerk, Rammstein, and KMFDM dominated set.

Spinning records can be hard, sweaty work (especially when doing it in a shirt that goes up to your earlobes), therefore Lagerfeld may require some refreshment. Can we expect his Diet Coke Butler will be making an appearance?
