She has dated Sir Mick Jagger and partied with Eric Clapton. She has been wooed by Kevin Costner and dazzled Donald Trump. Now Carla Bruni, the sultry singer and model, has a new boyfriend – the French President.
The couple chose the unlikely setting of a Mickey Mouse parade at Disneyland Paris to make public their romance, two months after Nicolas Sarkozy was left by his wife, Cécilia.
There was no official word from the presidency, but the nod was given to gushing media reports of the President’s new “fairytale romance”. Their visit to Disneyland with friends was described as a private outing, but a gaggle of photographers were conveniently on hand to record it.
Mr Sarkozy appeared in public without his wedding ring for the first time yesterday. He was thought likely to take Ms Bruni, who is 4in taller than him, on an official trip to Rome on Thursday. Some, however, wondered whether Mr Sarkozy, 52, might have met his match with Ms Bruni, 39, a successful singer-composer. She was described by Libérationand Le Parisien newspapers as a famous “man-eater”.
While “Super-Sarko” basked in glory for bagging a desirable celebrity, the opposition Socialists accused the President of orchestrating a soap opera to regild his image. “This looks like one more episode in the ‘Adventures of Principality of the Elysée’,” said the Socialist Party.
Colombe Pringle, editor of Point de Vue, a celebrity magazine that is publishing a cover story along with Paris Match, said that Mr Sarkozy and Ms Bruni had made themselves available to photographers. “They wanted people to know,” she said. “Otherwise, why would they have gone to Disney to look at the Mickey Mouse parade?”
Mr Sarkozy had been expected to move quickly after he announced the end of his bumpy marriage on October 18. When she left him temporarily in 2005, Mr Sarkozy was enjoying a public liaison with a journalist within weeks. Andrée Sarkozy, his mother, predicted ten days ago that he would soon have a new companion but warned him not to marry again. “I have had enough of brides,” she said.
Rumours had linked Mr Sarkozy with several celebrities, but not with Ms Bruni, a leftish Left Bank type who supported Ségolène Royal, the Socialist, in the spring presidential elections. This time it is unlikely that the former Mrs Sarkozy, 50, née Ciganer, will return as she did last year. She is spending much of her time in London, where one of her adult daughters lives, and has signed up Louis, her 11-year-old son with the President, at the French Lycée in South Kensington.
France was struck by the resemblance between Ms Bruni and the former première dame.Like Ms Ciganer, Ms Bruni is from a wealthy artistic family, but Ms Bruni has had a stellar career of her own. She was brought up in France after her father, a Turin industrialist, left Italy to escape the danger from Red Brigade terrorists in the 1970s. This year when she released her English-language album, No Promises,she spoke of her wild youth as a supermodel in the late 1980s and her reputation as the girlfriend of Sir Mick when he was married to Jerry Hall.
“I’d be proud to be known as that. It’s not like I had an affair with General Pinochet or Mussolini,” she said.
Last autumn she said that she did not change for men. “I never felt power or fame was important when you’re in love. When you have a relationship with someone, they become only a man. If they are talented, of course it’s better but, still, a man is only a man.”
Three months ago she was still talking of her life with Raphael Enthoven, a relationship that began with scandal in 2000. She was intimately close to his father, Jean-Paul, when she fell for the son, who was married to Justine Lévy, daughter of the Left Bank thinker Bernard-Henri Lévy.
Mr Sarkozy’s very public romance prompted anger from traditionalists who see it as a further slide into Americanised politics. However, the love story was the perfect counter to a stream of bad news, culminating in a disastrous visit to Paris last week by Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader.

This morning, someone posted a nude picture of her on FR.
I hope he wears protection. She’s been around.
Mick’s first ex ( lefty Bianca) is foreign affairs advisor to Chris Dodd.
A Sexual Spittoon.
Yummy!
She’s really good friends with President Bush’s brother, Harry.
I wonder if Sarkozy had this gal checked out for multiple STD’s, AIDS, Not taking a bath or in the case of the French taking to many baths, more that one a month.
WHE!!!French tourist stink.
She’s HOT! At least Sarko has better taste than Slick Willie.....
I like her singing, she has a bit of a raspy cocktail lounge voice, probably from too much smoking, but there’s something I find appealing about her voice, maybe it’s sensual! :^)
Carla Bruni singing her hit “Quelqu’un m’a dit”

I used to date her when she was 16.
Speaking of Mick Jagger whatever happened to his lovely ex-wife Jerry Hall?
So has David Bowie.
The French have their own version of "6 Degrees of Separation"...
I hate “pass around girlfriends”. But the French prez is an “American” and he’s single, so of course he’s going to be a player. Can’t fault a dude with his “needs.”
“[Jerry Hall] is now the Global Ambassador for Levitra, a treatment for erectile dysfunction, manufactured by Bayer Healthcare. She is touring the world as part of Levitra’s campaign to encourage women to ‘Strike up a Conversation’ with their partner to start discussion and ultimately treat erectile dysfunction.”

Hi Perdogg what are you talking about. President Bush doesn’t have a brother Harry and I want your link. Link please.
Hey Al baby know her????
No kidding. Her, um, “equipment” probably glows in the dark. She could keep a microbiologist busy for years.
When any man of character has a guided muscle that is out of control, real men will split instead of subjecting their so called loved ones to the embarrassment of being a total horses ass like Willy Jeff.
However, in Willy Jeffs case having to live with a hell cat like Hillary for thirty years is one huge punishment.
Yep ole Sark got him one fine gal.
The newspaper said “While “Super-Sarko” basked in glory for bagging a desirable celebrity”.
Out in Oklahoma a woman who has known more men than an Army latrine would be called a hose bag.
Didn’t she get pregnant by one of those rock stars?
Wasn’t Mick Jagger who was married to that Jeri at the time?
Isn’t there anyone left who has morales?
Come on, how about a link
I guess Cécilia didn't have a lifetime goal of becoming president of France herself. I don't think that the 82nd Airborne Division could have rooted Hillary out of the White House while she was scheming to get into the Oval Office.
The big difference between Sark and Willy Jeff is that Sark was man enough to give his old lady the boot before taking up with another gal.

Comment:
Give me a minute while I regain my composure, ROFLMAO....
Every time I take a look at that old gal Hillary I get the feeling that her thyroid quit her long ago.
Every time her hormones got out of whack we would either have an atomic war or another white house aide would commit sewercide by shooting himself in the back of the head with a gun wiped clean of finger prints.
Hill as her smug in-crowd pukes like to call her is really showing her age lately.
Willy Jeff needs to stay home one night, fill himself full of 80 proof teardrop stopper and give her a Viagra moment.
Warning to Willy Boy, don’t let her have any alcohol as she might just lay there and cackle all night and drive your perverted mind crazy.
“The big difference between Sark and Willy Jeff is that Sark was man enough to give his old lady the boot before taking up with another gal.”
Well, not that it matters at this point, but I think that she left him.
From Wikipedia.
In the December 2007 issue of American Vogue, the writer Joan Juliet Buck wrote, “In late October it was revealed that Cécilia had planned their divorce since April. Every public appearance of hers, it was revealed, had been an act.”

She looks like a leg-shaver. Good sign.
She has dated Sir Mick Jagger and partied with Eric Clapton.
So has David Bowie.

“Speaking of Mick Jagger whatever happened to his lovely ex-wife Jerry Hall?”
He put that horse-face out to pasture.
“Hi Perdogg what are you talking about. President Bush doesn’t have a brother Harry and I want your link.”
Right over your head, I see.
Yes but i was didldleing her sister
There is an old saying that most men will gyrate towards naughty women as it is in their Levis, err jeans.
All through history tainted women have been like the woman who was hitchhiking along the highway.
A truck driver stopped and picked her up.
He noticed that she was a very beautiful woman.
As they drove along she told him she was a witch.
She said give me $50.00 and I will show you.
So he paid her and she turned him into a motel.
