Sarah Palin Wants $11 Million for Book Deal

Karl Erikson — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:32:00 GMT

Back in Alaska, Governor Sarah Palin still wants more. The ex-Republican VP nominee, Sarah is trying to write a tell-all book. She's represented by the same lawyer who represented Barack Obama and the Clintons for their book deals.

According to sources, Sarah is looking for an $11 million advance! That's a pretty tall order, since Hillary Clinton got only $8 million in advance for "Living History." Laura Bush received just $2 million in advance for her upcoming White House memoir. What the hell makes Sarah think she's worth $11 million?

There may also be a TV deal coming, though Sarah's lawyer remains mum on the subject. He's gotten deals for NBC's Brian Williams, Lesley Stahl, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta (the new Surgeon General in Obama's administration).

Sarah is now halfway done with her first term as governor, and gave her State of the State Address last night in Juneau. She congratulated President Obama and said if Barack "governs with the skill, grace and greatness of which he is capable, Alaska's going to be just fine."

French Justice Minister Pregnant - Sperm Donor Or Nicolas Sarkozy's Baby?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 15:11:00 GMT

French justice minister Rachida Dati is pregnant but she's refusing to name the daddy. There are, of course, rumors floating around, that she may have used a sperm donor - and does sperm donor mean it could be President Nicolas Sarkozy's child?

Some reports are saying that the 42-year-old went to Denmark to get an anonymous donor. Other sites have said it could be Sarkozy's baby - she and the President were once romantically linked - or maybe the 'donor' is former Spanish prime minister Jose-Maria Aznar. I'm thinking Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni, might have a problem with this. Probably Mrs. Aznar wouldn't be thrilled with the news either.

Sarkozy's reps have stayed 'mum' on the accusations, and Aznar's office have publicly denied the rumors.

There are others on the possible 'baby daddy' list: Dati's former boyfriend, Henri Proglio, Dominique Dessegne and a French TV host called Arthur.

Dati has said that her pregnancy, if it was 'consolidated,' she would be very happy - I guess meaning it was done 'clinically,' and thus she used a sperm bank?

One blogger said, "Dati likes tall blond men, and would have gone to Denmark to find a sperm bank."

Well-known French commentator, Renaud Revel, stated on his blog, that the French media know the identity of the father, but would never publish the name.

"The German of Anglo-Saxon press would have X-rayed Rachida Dati's pregnancy, to the point of producing the father's ID papers and his DNA. But the French media are kept at a distance.

"The father has been known to the newsrooms for week. But not a line, not a name, not the slightest allusion has appeared."

Oh the conspiracy of it all! Maybe it's none of our business anyway? But isn't it grand to speculate?

French First Lady Carla Bruni Pregnant?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 12:07:00 GMT

French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been photographed lately, looking slightly bigger - actually looking like she might be sporting a baby bump. Carla and President Nicolas Sarkozy, 53, married in February - after their romance began just the previous November and ever since, there's been much baby speculation. So is the First Lady expecting?

In a recent interview, Mrs. Bruni-Sarkozy, 40, was asked outright if she was pregnant. Her response:

“No, unfortunately not. I wonder if my stomach’s got bigger, because everyone is asking me the same question.'I’m not pregnant and I regret it because I love it when I am.'Will it happen?

"It’s difficult for me to say. It’s much more difficult at 40 than it is at 25."

Carla has a 7-year-old son from a previous relationship and Mr. Sarkozy has three sons from two previous marriages, and two step-daughters. The couple would love to have a child together, but not sure if or when it will happen.

Should she become pregnant while her husband is in office, she would be the first high profile wife of a political leader to have a child in office since Cherie Blair gave birth to son Leo in 2000, when her husband Tony Blair was Prime Minister.

Sending them luck and baby vibes!

For realz, this time. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and former supermodel, Jagger/Clapton/Trump-ex and sometime nudist Carla Bruni are officially married.

According to Associated Press, French President Nicolas Sarkozy married former model Carla Bruni on Saturday at the Elysee Palace, the couple announced, tying the knot less than three months after they reportedly first met.

In a terse statement, the couple said only that they "were married this morning in the presence of their families in the strictest privacy."

I was going to make a joke about whether the bride wore her birthday suit, but apparently - and against all convention, given her colorful past - she wore white. BORING. I expect better of the French.

Nude Carla Bruni: The Hottest First Lady Ever?

Whit Honea — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:53:00 GMT

What's up with France? The people don't seem too happy that their president Nicolas Sarkozy married an Italian supermodel (though she claims the wedding hasn't happened yet). Not only is Carla Bruni younger and hotter than any first lady in recent history, but she has a reputation unlike anyone this side of Bill Clinton. She has dated Kevin Costner, Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger and Donald Trump. This is a problem?

I thought the French were into that stuff.

I'm sure someone is into this: Bruni posing nude. Let's see Laura Bush do... wait, that's not necessary.

Expect to see Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at your door this Halloween. Alot. According to a survey of 600 Americans conducted by Captain Morgan/Kelton Research (that would be the rum?) Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were named 2007's most popular celebrity couple costume. Runners-up included Britney and K-Fed, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the Bushes and the Beckhams. That would be a rare sight to see on Halloween - Posh actually eating a candy bar. I wonder if the costume comes with its own barf bag.

So if you and your mate are going to a Halloween party and Brangelina is all sold out, here are some other celebrity couple costume ideas:
