Nicolas Sarkozy, the rather fug president of France, reportedly plans to marry his hot-ass girlfriend of two months, Carla Bruni. The new couple landed on the covers of virtually all French publications, some even announcing a wedding date.
France’s authoritative Journal du Dimanche, a paper with close ties to the President, devoted more than half of its front page to a photo of the pair, accompanied by a banner headline reading: “They Getting Married! On February 9?”
“The date is now set,” the paper announced. “Carla Bruni will become the third Madame Sarkozy on the 8th or, most probably, February 9th.” Since Journal du Dimanche is owned by industrialist Arnaud Lagardiere, a close Sarkozy friend, the paper’s pronouncement could set the stage for a formal announcement this week.
Still, the Journal does note that, “certain of his friends are worried about the speed of the romance.”
The 52-year-old divorced his second wife, Cecilia, in mid October, and has been inseparable from Bruni, 39, since Nov. 23, when he met the supermodel-turned-singer at a Paris dinner party. After Christmas, she was been spotted sporting a pink, heart-shaped diamond on her left hand, fueling reports of an engagement.
The French government has yet to address the President’s relationship with Carla, but he is expected to discuss it during a press conference later today.

Meh, who cares how fast they’re moving? Sometimes that’s a good thing.
In other news, I don’t like heart cut diamonds.
(With the exception of KikiBH’s kick ass tattoo.)

French politicians pull all the hot broads. Makes you wonder why all the politicians from other countries have ugmos for partners.

^^firstly that’s a crock and secondly maybe they’re interested in intellect over superficial externalities.
Bruni’s a social climbing ho, she dated Mick Jagger whilst he was married to Jerry Hall and now I guess she thinks she’s reached the pinnacle by snagging a president. Shame it won’t last.
