Charlie Hebdo is of course known for cutting iconic symbols down to size on their provocative covers and Catherine Deneuve is nothing if not a person you automatically think of when you consider the storied history of French cinema. Put those two facts together and the embattled satirical magazine's latest cover, featuring a cartoon poking fun at the now 71-year-old screen siren's weight, as well as paparazzi and the Cannes Film Festival itself, was sure to raise more than a few eyebrows along the Croisette and beyond. The cover features the caption "suspicious package on the Croisette" in French and a cartoon image of a hefty Deneuve after she's sent photographers scrambling, and maybe crushed a few, on the red carpet. When asked about the cover during a photo call for her new film premiering at Cannes, La Tête Haute, Deneuve cooly replied, "I hope it's funny, even if it is nasty."??
