Sarkozy in Love
Only the French could make politics and love glamorous. France's president Nicholas Sarkozy has been photographed jet setting with a former Italian supermodel Carla Bruni. A 52 year old man dating a supermodel is news in itself. Add the fact that he is the president of France and the news media perks up. Did I mention that he just divorced his wife in October. Bruni is a younger version of her.
I always find it interesting when men choose a younger looking version of their wife. What are they trading in? Was his wife getting too soft? Did she just stop listening to him and he wants someone who will idolize him more? If I was swapping my spouse for someone new, I would go for a completly different version.
But wait, she is different. Bruni dated Eric Clapton, whom she dumped for Mick Jagger while he was still married to Jerry Hall. She had a brief dalliance with Donald Trump, but tired of his hairpiece. My favorite bit of gossip is she likes to keep it in the family. She was once married to a long-haired French intellectual (whatever that means) who was 10 years her junior after living with his father. That is special. Not many women have that claim to fame.
Congratulations to Sarkozy. His mother has said it best, "In his job he will be spoiled with choices, but I hope that no one will get married again, I have had enough of brides" she told a magazine.
