How Do We Say This Delicately???
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Francophilia
Worst. Cover. Ever.
Embarrassingly bad!
Do most Americans even know who Carla Bruni is????
And, more importantly, do those that know her even care about her?????
Vanity Fair put the first lady of France on the cover of their new issue.
Oh, and she is NOT the new Jackie O.
Blasphemous!!!!!!!!!

Linny - Brazilian model Luciana Morad, NOT Carla Bruni, was the woman who had Mick Jagger's child. Appararently you don't know anything about France either…………………
everyone/anyone who watches or reads the news knows carla bruni, and she may not be the "next" or "new" jackie o, but i'm totally comfortable saying she's jackie o, junior.
Re: linny –
No need to say all the french people are rude! And so are some americans that I know and I have been in the US for 20 years.. There is a lot you don't know about Carla Bruni.. She comes from a very good family, she is blessed with her beauty, a kind woman, very poised and intelligent… Why is it that anyone who is beautiful is always critiziced!
Well as some smart americna girl says here
Jackie O was stylish and graceful
Yeah, that's all about Jackie!
Carla is hot, sexy, much more graceful, a top model, a great singer, who writes her own music, she is rich, she is intelligent she ios far much more stylish than that square who dressed like my grandma Jackie O…and she fucked the rockstars you would like to fuck
But american girls prefer just to be stylish and graceful…and fuck Onassis for his money!!!
This says a lot about american girls, and this is why a woman will never be the President of the USA!!!
Why is it that anyone who is beautiful is always critiziced! ??
because here we are dealing with misoginic gays and women who envy beautiful woman (no, they not envy intelligence or talent, and you can get a plastic surgery who could give you that) my friend!!!
Why the hell do they airbrust the shit out of EVERYONE they put on the cover??? Some unadulterated pics would be nice!
I want her life- and she has great style and way more of her own $$$ than Jackie ever did. She is an Italian aristocrat, a high society model and international beauty- you can't take that away from her. She dresses amazingly, also…
Is it just me, but what's wrong with her right nostril it looks weird!
I like Carla's music, very beautiful. However, she's not Jackie O at all! Jackie is a legend and icon. Tres mauvais Perez
Still love you though
just be more open minded bitches, one has to know carla bruni, it's general knowledge stupid!!
Fuck off, Perez. The cover looks fine. Just stop writing your fucking dumbass blog because no one gives a shit what you think, you fat piece of shit.
She's wonderful!!!! I think the cover is great. It is the style issue for gods sake. Perhaps if more Americans got a clue as to what fashion is they would make it on the cover. If you dont know her you should.
Re: ChelleBelle – I meant Vanity Fair. Excuse my error, I just woke up.
She is the First Ladyof France. She is an extremely talented songwriter, plus she used to be a supermodel. She's smart, she is beautiful. She has every right to be on the cover of a serious magazine like Vanity Fair. Plus, if it makes realize that there is something going on outside of the US, it's mission accomplished
Just so everyone understands, Carla Bruni comes from a very wealthy French and Italian family…she is not a gold digger - she has a lot more money than Sarkozy. She also had a very successful career not only as a model but also a singer, before meeting Sarkozy. Although the jury was out at first, she has proven herself to be very serious in her role as France's first lady and has handled her first months with a large amount of class. I have to say at first, I didn't like her, but today I'm a big fan…
I LOVE Vanity Fair….I can't wait to read the article by Maureen Orth, Tim Russert's wife.
you/re in the minority on this one. this is an awesome cover and she's better than jackie O
I agree with comment #91………….Excellent response!!!
That cover is not that bad, and FYI Jackie's been dead awhile, get over it. Am I the only person on planet, who has noticed how much Carla looks like his former wife, only she's younger? I mean I can't be!
She's pretty, the picture doesn't do her justice. Still, the new Jackie O?! Cmon, that's blasphemy!
americans who read vanity fair actually have some intelligence. hence they know their current events. they would know who the controversial french first lady is. unlike the star/national enquirer/people - reading majority.
just because most americans seem to lack a good educational background and seem to have little idea of what is going on outside of their oh so great country, one shouldn't be proud of not knowing the first lady of france.
and who cares whether she's the new jackie o. maybe they should discuss something that matters the next time. like foreign politics.
Please! Everyone knows Michelle Obama is the new Jackie O. The only thing Carla Bruni will be famous for will be coming out with that shiteous CD!
I love the President of France and his new wife Carla Bruni. They seems down to earth and she has a lot of class. About Michele Obama, sorry people but she is ugly outside and inside. A women full of hate for her country do not deserve to be a first lady.-
maybe its time most Americans educated themselves on what goes on outside of the states…!
The new Jackie O? Not likely, no one could ever replace Jackie O, the most gracious First Lady.
Re: Rosebud –
"the gull"
Learn to spell. How depressing.
No wonder the rest of the world dislikes us.
Ignorants!
she's gorge.
as a fellow english hack rider,
i love the classiness of the riding outfit
gold digger. too bad for France. it comes down to having a pop singer for a first lady and they think thats classy. woo, how things have changed. has been hanging on to her last minute of fame. sad.
I love her, she makes beautiful music and more Americans need to know who she is.
of course she is NOTTTTT jackie O and will NEVERRRRRRRRRR be….she is a biatch only a biatch
Perez, you douche, of course we know who Carla Bruni is. Not only has been in Vanity Fair and Vogue several times, but you've also posted several items about her yourself. Don't be such a drama queen. Carla has grace, charm, and beauty - she may very well be the next Jackie O. I personally think this is one of VF's BEST covers ever and I am looking forward to getting it in the mail.
First lady of France!! What a horrible picture though…
ONCE AGAIN YOU PROVE YOU ARE: PROVINCIAL, IGNORANT, AND REALLY NO BETTER INFORMED THAN ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT.
OF COURSE WE KNOW WHO CARLA BRUNI IS!!
FAMILY BACKGROUND, UP BRINGING, EDUCATION, STYLE ICON, PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS - YES SHE COULD BE A 21ST CENTURY JACKIE O!
Yes Perez, I think many Americans know how she is (at least those who like fashion). She was one of the highest paid super models in the 90's. I'm surprised you don't know who she is, considering your "love of fashion". So, no, I am not surprised she is one the cover. She's been on MANY fashion covers considering she used to be a frickin' super model.
how can you NOT know who she is??!! At least Vanity Fair does a pretty good job of selecting their cover models. I rather have her represented than yet another bubble-gum pop star or Paris Hilton - at least this cover possesses an element of class.
Yeh, who the heck is she…
You're just jealous! She's beautiful and the author who wrote the article about Ms. Bruni is Tim Russert's widow. I think the cover is beautiful. Better seeing someone who is actually beautiful instead of some teeny bopper, untalented actress. Or worse yet, that fugly Ageyness whatever her name is that you keep trying to jam down our throats.
She looks good. It is the International best Dressed Issue and she happens to be an international figure.
who is she, very ugly….
I know exactly who she is but I don't care for her. She's a tart and their marriage will never last. Jackie-O was all about style, grace and class. This trollop is all about showing her ass and getting plastic surgery. She's barely 40 years old and is starting to look like Cher. Creepy. She can never be Jackie O.
Completely disagree. It is a bad photo, but she's amazing. Her music, her style, her social status. She parallels Jackie O in many ways. Both are very glamerous, sophisticated and classy. Team Carla Bruni!
for the first time, I agree with Perez. WTF with that cover ? She is not and never will be the next Jackie O !!!
Why wouldn't we know who she is? The first lady of France…from a wealthy Italian family, former model & Mick Jagger fling…..(but not the one he got preggers…she's from Brazil: Luciana Morad.)
You're right, Perez. She's no Jackie O.
OK, I'm no fan of the French, but give Americans a little credit! I know who Carla Bruni is! If the JBs can be on the cover of Rolling Stone, then why can't Carla be on Vanity Fair?
She's not a gold digger, For God's sake!! She comes from a very wealthy family.
Re: linny –
u idiot, she was not knocked up with mick jagger and france is not a country full of rude people, you american ignorant
Agreed. Do NOT compare her to Jackie O. Anyone who is American will agree that Jackie O is and will always be at her own level. And yes, I am American and I know exactly who she is, that does not mean I am impressed…
Please, most Americans don't even know who Jackie O is!!! Since we are a celebrity obsessed culture, and her marriage to the french President was well documented in the tabloids, I'm sure most Americans DO know who she is. Why is it blasphemous? Jackie O wasn't all that in my opinion…
Perez, America does not know shit about what's going on in any other place of the rest of the world AT ALL. No offense but you americans cannot deny that fact!
Peace
This is a quintessential VF cover and article. By the way, don't you know that Tim Russert's widow wrote the article? She's been discussing it on TV, People picked it up her interview with Matt Lauer. Do your homework!
Carla Bruni is euro trash and will not ever be in the same game as Jackie O. Jacko O was not only beautiful, she was damn smart and had a LOT of class.
She is so beautiful. Yes, we all know who she is. AND she may just do for fashion what Jackie did (I hate to call her Jackie "O").
Michelle Obama is so the new Jackie O - do you remember what she was wearing during Obama's speech in Saint Paul, MN? She is always elegant, beautiful, and put-together!
She has a very aristocratic style like her education, and I think it's a great cover no matter what… very european chic but americans cannot understand that
she really is everywhere -_-"
Naked pics and turning out shitty music, that my friend is not what jackie would do!!!!
Re: jane –
I have to agree. Perez, just because you're too busy getting fat and bashing on anyone who doesn't have the same belief system as you, doesn't mean you can't read the newspaper or watch the news once in awhile.
How sad. I think she looks gorgeous on the cover, and so what about her personal life?
Jackie O referred to Jackie after she married Onassis for money/safety. Um . . . . . Jackie O was NOT first Lady, Jackie Bouvier Kennedy was!!!!
Madame Pompidou doesn't even come up to the ankle bones of Jackie.
i love her music
gosh, she´s amazing!!!! she´s not only beautiful, but talented and really cool. her last album is fucking amazing.
Carla has way more class than Jacky Off ever had.
excuse me! Carla Bruni has been getting covers and large amounts of media coverage all around the world, due to her marriage with Sarkozy. Magazines are featuring your potential first ladies all around the world. Are Americans simply too ignorant to want to know a bit about whats happening outside of their country. I think its great, good on you Vanity Fair
hilarious… perez… ignorance is very unbecoming… it merely shows how ignorant most Americans are (a fact you appear to be perpetuating on a world stage)… Carla Bruni was a very famous model… for a very long time and is now somewhat of a style icon.. also not a concept most Americans have (pat field was an anomaly) Perez… i will never read this again! you are full of shit and have somewhat lost the plot! Also Vanity Fair is sold world wide… FYI.
C'est clair je ne l'aime pas du tout et pourtant je suis française c'est la honte !!!
Je préfère Perez lol bizzzzzzzzzzz
stop being SO pretentious!! that's why everyone hates your country, because you're only interested in yourself!!!! She's problably classier than Jacky O!! She was a model and worked with the BEST fashion designers in the world she's stylish!
There is a world outside the US, Perez!!
Perez obviously lives under a rock. This is a fascinating story, and the cover is beautifully styled and photographed. It's vintage Vanity Fair material, and Carla Bruni is extremely newsworthy. Get some class, Perez honey!
HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE AINT NO JACKIE O
YOUR AN IDIOT PEREZ!!!!! ANY WELL TRAVELED AMERICAN KNOWS WHO CARLA IS~HER MUSIC IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR SUCH A HICK EWWW GET SOME CLASS! FOCUS ON PARIS OR THAT BULGARIAN TRANNY:)
Could be worse — Perez could be on the cover.
DIDN'T JACKIE O MARRY ONASSIS JUST FOR HIS MONEY ALTHOUGH SHE COULDN'T STAND HIM? YES SHE HAD A GREAT FASHION SENSE BUT SAINT SHE WASN'T.
Damn, that is blasphemous! Jackie-O was the icon of class and fashion. Pleasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssse! I totally agree, Perez!
What's your thing against Carla Bruni? She's a beautiful, intelligent, feisty woman who's raked in success and wealth from her own talents, then married a guy who just happened to be President of France. I think she's a great character, and dare I say it? A bit of a role model for any woman who's doing it her way.
Re: LettyB – poutine is not french asshold,,,poutine from quebec
Really? Perez, are you aware of the influence Carla Bruni had on the past runway shows of fashion mega-houses such as Dior? Not to mention, Jackie O. had her fair share of drama just as Carla Bruni has. She has inspired the way women dress, and being a dual citizen in France and the U.S., I know that she has had an effect on French culture. Do some research!
Oh get over yourself.She is lovely.
on the off chance someone (anyone) read down this far… I just couldn't help myself, I had to comment.
What a fucking blatantly ignorant post! Carla Bruni is the First Lady of France! If you don't know who she is, my god you need to get your head out from under the rock it's been hiding and educate yourself on current events.
Also, she is gorgeous! Way more sophisticated than anyhting to come out of America SINCE Jackie O, so I think the comparison is valid. And the picture is beautiful- wtf is wrong with you?
Perez, you dirty douchebag, stop making the world think everyone in the United States is as low and stupid as you! How dare you insult any country's first lady? And yes, most Americans know who she is and care!
Ya, here's the thing about me–I… live in FUCKING AMERICA AND DON"T GIVE A SHIT WHO THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE IS FUCKING-Honestly i'm just proud it's not a dude…. Ya, I've heard those same european stories!!!
Ya, here's the thing about me–I… live in FUCKING AMERICA AND DON"T GIVE A SHIT WHO THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE IS FUCKING-Honestly i'm just proud it's not a dude…. Ya, I've heard those same european stories!!!
Wow Perez this post is embarrassing. You're probably right that most Americans don't know who Carla Bruni is, but that isn't something of which us Americans should be proud! Maybe if more Americans supplemented their gossip blogs with newspapers they would have a clue about how much of a sensation Carla Bruni is in France.
Re: MEANA –
Way to give a good name to Americans. People like you are why the whole world hates us.
Perez..not everyone is as ignorant as you seem to think, I'm sure most people are aware of Carla Bruni. And I actually like the cover..
you retarded ignorant, even if they don't know, maybe they will learn something new!
I'm afraid of Americans. I'm afraid of their ignorance.
carla bruni is a whore who will do anything for attention. she is talentless and an embarssement to france… similar to her goblin-like husband!
1) I'm American
2) I know who Carla Bruni is and enjoy her music, which I've been listening to for several years.
3) But Carla Bruni is NO Jackie O.
she look good in the pic however I dont think a first lady should be posing as a singer/model even is she is. For the time being she is the France first lady and she should show more respect for that title.
She looks bloody amazing.As simple as that
Blasphemous? Embarassingly bad? Worst cover ever?
More tripe commentary from a sexually conflicted, jealous man with extremely low self esteem.
Hey!
Carla Bruni is one of the most powerful first lady in the world and one of the most known.
I don't even know who is the wife of Stephen Harper (and i'm a canadian) but I know that Carla Bruni is Sarkozi's wife.
So, I think that it's a good cover!
And Yes she does have enough class to be the new Jackie-o!
She needs to get over herself; she probably doesn't even ride horses. This cover certainly won't get me to buy the mag.
i hate her. she looks like a younger version of the president's exwife….and she spends way too much money. shes no princess di.
"how france fall for…" that's not true, a lot of people don't like her because she married this stupid president. we don't want another marie antoinette! and for god's sake, leave Jacly O alone!
Bisous aux frenchies
"Perez":
Your commentation on Carla Bruni is cheaply vulgar. They only prove that you are both ignorant and crass. Carla Bruni is the wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE. Shouldnt you agree that more Americans ought to have an interest in politics? Or, perhaps, your Miley Cyrus citings are more noteworthy and relevant.
I disagree Perez…Amazing woman, amazing cover!
I disagree with you on this one Perez.
This is a great cover!!! Why is it a terrible cover.? No big boobed, rehab, half dead, washed up celuretard or some 15 old lolita.???
Carla Bruni is one classiest woman on the planet. She may be causing alot of drama but she is still one of the great beauties left from the supermodel era. Love the boots…screams high society.
