So, Mr Putin, what do you see in this nubile 24-year-old rhythmic gymnast?

Well if the French President can get a model half his age, then why not the President of Russia? Vladimir Putin who is 56 has apparently walked out on his wife so he can shack up with a 24 year old woman who is a former model, actress and gymnast.
Alina Kabaeva met the President when she won a seat in the Russian Parliament. There are some who say however that she won the seat because of the President.

So, Vlad, big kahuna of Russia, what do you see in a 24-year-old, sensationally beautiful gymnast with a penchant for posing semi-naked that you don't see in your lovely, middle-aged, matronly wife Ludmilla?" Watch the video, and all your questions will be answered grasshopper.

Take that!, Sarkozy, you little wussy......

Sarko wants to sue RyanAir

The European press can't spill enough ink over Sarkozy and his paramour Carla Bruni, but the latest jab at their whirlwind romance has Sarko tres irrité.
Ryanair, which isn't known for its subtlety, and its girls of Ryanair Calender.....used a photo of the couple in an ad in today's issue of Le Parisien. The thought bubble above Bruni says:
With Ryanair, my whole family can come to my wedding.
That may be--as long as her relatives don't want to check bags--but the French president didn't appreciate the joke. Ryanair's apologized, but Sarko plans to sue the airline for "improper use of the president's image." STORY

Au Revoir to the Smoke-Filled French Cafe

In bars and cafes across Paris, in restaurants and casinos throughout France, the once-revered cigarette now is officially banned, relegating one of the Western world's last public smoking holdouts to the ashtray of history.

On Wednesday, the public act that perhaps most epitomized the French as sexy, debonair, sultry, brooding -- and perhaps more than a little susceptible to cancer -- was snuffed out by the government.

This was not a decision taken lightly. Magazines ran nostalgic photo-spreads reminding us that French people look seriously cool with a fag in their mouth - as illustrated by Charles de Gaulle, Brigitte Bardot and the ambassador for nicotine-enhanced thinking, Jean-Paul Sartre. Even president Nicolas Sarkozy, painfully image-conscious, posed for Paris Match wrestling with a fat cigar. STORY

Sarko......You da Man!!

This man has a smile on his face for good reason. Apparently the way the couple has chosen to publicize their relationship is through a highly visable visit to – where else – Euro Disneyland. Given the French perception of “Sarko L’American,” this will jack the the press coverage. Perhaps Sarko just couldn’t resist the irony – debuting your glamorous model girlfriend by taking her on a visit to one of the tackiest places on earth.

She has previously dated Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Donald Trump (she was drunk) and Kevin Costner.

Although I'm not going to post any pictures of Carla Bruni nude, I could direct you a bit. I think I've seen Laura Bush in an outfit like the one pictured

here also.

I don't get it, she's not that hot.

The rumors have been flying about an official separation and a possible divorce between Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife Cecilia. This abridged article is from Yahoo, but it appears that the news was originally published in a local paper from Lorraine: L'Est Républicain:
