Tsarkosy has a new love – both ’she’ and ‘it’ had all been stage managed by the Elysées press office.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, Tsar Nick was photographed at Disneyland Paris with former model, now singer, Carla Bruni. A more wholesome family photograph you couldn’t have hoped for, his press office directing the show with just about the right amount of ‘tackiness’.
Europe’s shortest leader (but with the largest carbon footprint) jumped into another plane with his new ‘love’ on Christmas Eve and jetted off to the Egyptian resort of Luxor – care of billionaire buddy Vincent Bolloré.
This was such a low-key event that Tsarsko waved at onlookers as the pair arrived at their luxury hotel. Security was as tight as a nats chuff and plain-clothed cops were deployed around the town. Two journalists were briefly detained on Monday night after filming the couple’s hotel.
Sarkosy, 52, divorced his wife and former model Cecelia, after 11 years of marriage last October. Now he’s picked up with another ‘former’ who, if you can handle the shock, has launched another career as a singer/songwriter. Bruni has been linked to men including Mick Jagger, Donald Trump and Eric Clapton, making Sarko not only the youngest but shortest lover. She’s only 39, so she’s packed them in somewhat.
It might be useful to learn that both Carla and her talent have been signed to the ‘Naive’ label. There’s a message in there somewhere.
