Madonna stands up for Adele over 'ridiculous' fat jibes from Karl Lagerfeld

He's already backtracked on his words, apologising for dubbing Adele 'a little too fat'.
But now he faces the wrath of the Queen of Pop as she slates designer Karl Lagerfeld for ever making the 'horrible' and 'ridiculous' comments.
Madonna has now spoken out in defence of the Chasing Pavements singer and offered her own advice over such scrutiny.

She told The Sun: 'That's horrible. That's ridiculous, that's just the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard...

'Adele's a great talent and how much she weighs has nothing to do with it.'
Last month Lagerfeld made the controversial criticisms, causing Adele to hit back after she declared she is 'proud' of her figure.
The 23-year-old said: '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.'

And following the barrage of complaints from her millions of fans, Karl then made a public apology to the star, insisting he is a big fan.

He told the Metro New York newspaper: '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. Adele is my favorite singer and I am a great admirer of her.'
And while Adele has chosen to move on from the scrutiny over her looks, Madonna has offered some advice to her.
She added: 'The thing for Adele to remember is at the end of the day, whether you rise or fall, it has so much to do with how you sustain yourself and keep your integrity and inner strength.'
Madonna has begun to shed her tough exterior recently as she begins to open up more about her personal life.
Over the weekend she also let her guard down as she discussed how difficult it has become being a single mother to her four children.
The superstar freely admitted she's been struggling since splitting from husband Guy Ritchie over three years ago.

The pop superstar revealed in an interview with The Sun that it feels like her 'head is going to explode' as she continues to raise her brood alone.
The 53-year-old has been starting to feel the strain as she keeps concentrating on her music career at the same time.
Madonna is raising 15-year-old daughter Lourdes, as well as her 12-year-old son Rocco and David, six, as well as daughter Mercy, five.

And she's happy to admit even she is finding the workload and motherly duties difficult.
Madonna told The Sun: 'I'm not going to lie - it's hard working having four kids and doing all the work I do.'

The Material Girl split from the Sherlock Holmes director at the end of 2008.
And although she's now dating 24-year-old dancer Brahim Zaibat, Madonna has been raising the children alone.
She added: 'Sometimes I cope with it very well. sometimes it's a struggle.'
The singer even vented her thoughts about her relationship status through the release of her latest album MDNA.
On one particular track, I Don't Give A, Madonna sings about life as a single mother.
She sings: 'I tried to be a good girl/ I tried to be your wife/ Diminished myself/ And I swallowed my light.
'I tried to become all/ That you expect of me/ And if it was a failure/ I don't give a [bleep].'
And she's now confirmed the lyrics are about her life without a partner.
'It's about the life of a single mother,' she continues. 'It's a challenge juggling everything - multi-tasking is my middle name. I try to express that.'

Madonna also appears to be letting loose about her failed marriage in bonus track I F**ked Up.
In the song she appears to be accepting some blame for the breakdown of their relationship, singing; 'I blamed you when things didn't go my way/I could have just kept my big mouth shut.'
