Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Hopes Marriage Will Boost Album Sales
Originally posted 07/11/2008 08:00AM
Comme si de Rien N'etait – or "as if nothing had happened" – is a rather coy title for Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's new album, given her marriage to French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
Of course, something did happen – a lightning-quick courtship with the just-divorced politician, as the press chronicled every move. And now, in the wake of her February nuptials, the First Lady's CD has generated so much buzz in France, her record company moved the release date up to Friday.
So will her political position help or hurt her singing career?

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy: 30 Lovers and a Guitar
Originally posted 06/12/2008 08:30AM
In any country, a first lady admitting she's had 30 lovers – and comparing the president to hardcore drugs – would make headlines. In France, however, it's apparently cause for jubilation.
More than six weeks before its release, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's third album, Comme si de Rien N'etait (or Like Nothing Happened), is already getting rave reviews in the French press.
The Journal du Dimanche devoted three pages to Bruni, including her modest self-description: "I am only a folksinger. I tell little stores which are mine – and yours."

Carla Bruni Visits Africa as France's First Lady
Originally posted 02/28/2008 11:50AM
Stepping far away from the glamour and pomp of a state visit, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy took her initial steps on the international scene as France's First Lady in a South African township on Thursday.
"This is my first visit," Bruni-Sarkozy, accompanying her new husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, told journalists. "For the moment, I am listening to what people tell me, that is how I see my role."
The visit to Khayelitsha Township's Women's Group highlighted a French-initiative business enterprise. To show its appreciation, the group presented Bruni-Sarkozy with a woven jute handbag just like the ones it exports to the U.S.

France's New First Lady Describes 'Immediate' Love
Originally posted 02/12/2008 05:30PM
In her first interview since the start of her relationship with Nicolas
Sarkozy, France's new first lady, former supermodel Carla Bruni, has opened up about their whirlwind romance and marriage.
"They tell me that it all was too rapid. That's not true between Nicolas and me. It didn't happen rapidly. It was immediate," Bruni, 39, tells the French news magazine L'Express.
Although the pair were married nine weeks after they met, "for us, it even seemed slow," says Bruni. "I know you don't get married in an instant and that even more, we were in the spotlight. But lovers, you know, have their own sense of time."
