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!!!!!!!!!

are you serious? just because i read your trashy blog doesn't mean i don't know who heads of state and their new wives are. come on. is this the best you can do, perez?? slow day at the online gossip rags, eh? don't be jealous because you aren't as fit and can't afford the plastic surgery that she's had done. NEXT!!!!
DUDE! HIlton you now suck! Of coarse american's know who carla bruni - every self respecting woman out there whose bought a vogue knows her and every educated person who cares about politics has heard of her……back OFF!!!!!!
she should never ever be compared to Jackie O. ever!!!
the photo is not that offensive, but it is not good either
Of course americans don't know who she is…she isn't on mtv, have a gun in her hand, showing off her crotch, rapping or doing an ad campaign for mcdonald's. americans don't have a lot of time for people who don't fill their candy-filled heads. come on, perez you should know better.
Nobody will ever replace Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Her charisma came from her French blood. BTW she disliked being called Jackie, an ugly american nickname. Some people dared compare the dumb Diana to Jacqueline: NO WAY, Diana had no French blood and was foolish. Jacqueline had class. As for Carla, she leaves me completely indifferent. Au revoir !
she's not the new jackie-o. she's better looking, has better teeth, and lacks helmet-head.
Of course you would hate this cover because it's glamorous and gorgeous. Those of us with a brain have heard of her and why the fuck shouldn't she be on the cover? Because she's not the Jonas Bros or John Mayer or some other fucked up 13-year old "star" you worship? In the real world, things do go on outside of your parasitic universe (which is very small).
I thought it was Shannen Doherty!!
Not possible. Sarkozy's approval is lingering barely above 30%. Not that there was ever a problem with Jackie, but at least her husband was a somewhat respected figure. Good looking broad though.
Excuse me but I love Carla Bruni.
her music is damn good too.
and I think this cover's beautiful!
Who cares about "most Americans" - certainly anyone who reads Vanity Fair knows all about France's president and his infamous new wife.
Who cares if Americans know who she is?!
The point is that most intelligent people do.
Mick Jagger had his children with brazilian (very ordinary) model Luciana Gimenez. His name is Lucas.
Carla Bruni is an Italian heiress, a real Top Model, and a succesful singer. Her child Aurélien is Raphael Enthoven´s son. Please! And she is very stylish and elegant.
Jackie K. was so stylish but ugly, and all her fame is because she married with JFK. Carla is famous for herself. Grace Kelly was elegant, JKO just stylish. And she always "falled in love" with men who were richer than her. Carla doesn´t need to get married to have money or fame.
By the way, in Europe isn´t strange that First Ladies and Prime Ministers´wifes have a job. Her own job.
Those jodphurs make her look like she's wet herself!!!
she's incredibly pretty, very eloquent, stylish, and apparently captivating to be around. why couldn't she aspire to be the next jackie o? jackie o made some interesting decisions in her time too!
What? No way. She is freaking amazing!!! She ABSOLUTELY is deserving of a Vanity Fair cover. Dude, learn more about her….she's amazing.
WTF did they do to her face? She's already a model they don't need to alter it!?!?! Now she looks like a dude!
she has good style but no CLASS
I bought her cd back a few years ago… I heard it in my French class… It's quite good.
This woman is a first class slut. Jackie O.? PULEEZ! This bitch ain't fit to wipe Jackie's boots. I bet it'll be over with her and the adulterous French President before you know it. Vanity Fair is pathetic! They print anything to try and sell their stupid boring magazine.
Perez, this picture deserves the heading "Hot tranny mess". Or at least a dick going in her mouth. You're losing your magic touch.
Love her
Classier tha Jackie O, prettier and more talented !
Come to Europe and find out what style is, what history is, what culture is …
Poor you …
Good lord you ignorant shits.
anyone with any sense follows politics and world issues at least a bit, so yes people do know who she is and some who know anything about the world might care. please dont be so ignorant.
dont be so fucking ignorant! celebrities aren't the only thing that matters, try following current events.
Do your homework Perez.
Carla is hot. Watch as we become more aware of this woman with a Democrat in the White House, we Americans will once again cozy up to France.
Vanity Fair ROCKS. cuz it DARES. and Carla is GORGEOUS. Period!!
Jackie O …. O as in over and out.
Perez, get a life. Bruni has one.
does anyone actually read anymore?
Bruni is from a REALLY rich family.. so she has never needed money…
just like Yoko Ono.. just like Linda McCartney…. do your research people…
and she IS very stylish and beautiful.. so BRAVO Vanity Fair…
She is better than Jackie O. She has more style and bye far she is pretier!
Are you kidding me?? IF you don't know who Carla Bruni is than you haven't opened a newspaper or read anything in current events (besides celebrity gossip, and they're even in that!). That was a HUGE deal in politics, you're crazy Perez. A lot of people know who she is. I like the cover. Her hands look awkward though.
SHE IS A MODEL. Shut up, perez.
The fact that most Americans might not know or care about Carla Bruni speaks VOLUMES about the level of ignorance in the U.S., especially YOURS, Perez. The U.S .is not the center of the universe and Vanity Fair is not supposed to be a "celebrity" driven magazine. In fact, Vanity Fair often has intriguing and informative pieces on international culture and politics and European affairs. You've just done more to tarnish our image with such an ignorant post than Dubya ever could.
Of course I know who she is. She's beautiful, and she has a beautiful voice. Vive la France!
She has some nice tracks, very simple, I like her.
whats so bad about it? IT could be way worse.
Sure Americans know who she is! Mick Jagger cheated on Jeri Hall
with Bruni. And no, she doesn't come close to Mrs. John F. Kennedy.
actually, i think she looks better than jacky o.
oh, yeah, and vanity fair rocks. your just being a hater, now.
I think she looks lovely. Very put-together and sophisticated.
she's better than jackie o. her first album was AMAZING
She is a tired French rag on the cover of an ever increasingly tired old rag. The comparison makes me think less of both!
Carla Bruni the new Jackie O?Never!!!Jacky was a classy woman and carla is a whore.
Because so many Americans care about Agyness Deyn or Dita Von Tease?
God forbid a magazine shows some interest in the woman who is married to the president of France, instead of the woman who is married to David Beckham.
I used to love you Perez, but you're just a fckin douche that think america is the center of world.
Carla had a career before being the first lady of France. She had a wonderful career in modeling and then she sold millions of CD as a singer.
She is smarter, more sophisticated, more talented and more beautiful than any of your crapy first ladies (including Jackie and Michelle Obama).
Oh, by the way, who is your first lady right now? Laura Bush. Can you tell me what does she have accomplished in her life?
Vive la France!
America is for suckers.
I love her!!. She's lovely, elegant, well read and well spoken, totally engaging. What's not to love?. She's her own person and shouldn't be compared to anybody. You americans can keep your Jackie O. Nothing against Jackie O, but seriously, she's an "american thing".
Well, I sure think that you have to be really extremely uninformed of what is happenning in the world in order not to know who Carla Bruni is… and honestly, the I dunno what the French president is doing marrying her. Leaving his wife, and then like two weeks later going out with a model… and a couple of months later marrying her?! What the hell?! He's a President, remember?!
"Do most Americans even know who Carla Bruni is????"
Ummm… they would if most Americans did more than watch Fox and roll about in their own filth. Only caring about tanning, hollywood and shitty magazines. If Americans knew more of what was going on and gave more of a shit maybe it wouldnt be the Empire in decline of the 21st century.
I like the cover - and americans should be aware of what is going on in other parts of the world…
That woman's had some BAD plastic surgery.
An American who is intelligent enough to read Vanity Fair knows who she is. She's beautiful.
Re: Thea – Stupidest comment ever, your saying this French Paris Hilton was better than Jackie O? dumbass
Wow, let me just say this to all the overly critical Europeans, you could bet your ass that if an American President married someone like Carla Bruni you'd be all over how materialistic and shallow Americans are. The first lady is supposed to be someone who is diplomatic and graceful, this lady is a stupid celebrity whore.
who DOESN'T know who carla bruni is? she's gorgeous, artistic, but still has a scent of decadence about her. Love her!
Perez, I love you to death and I visit your sight religiously but i have to say you're being a bit ignorant about this one. Give her some credit, she's gorgeous, accomplished and has impeccable style!
you have no idea who you are talking about. she personifies grace. get in the know perez! i still love ya.
I should hope most Americans know who Carla Bruni is!!
How dumb are the people in this country??
Smurf Perez,
Please file this cover under "GAY,GAY,GAY". Jackie O was a straight. Carla Bruni is a fug - it's an open secret like Chazza going to SF. and seeing Beach Blanket Bingo. there's nothing maneater - aloof- about her. SHE'S GRANOLA.
Let's all be honest…Europe hasn't done anything interesting since the 17th and 18th centuries.
Jackie-O would not sit like this. God rest her soul. What an insult to her family!
ewwww she and her hubby are disgusting
ewwwwwwwww..she and her idiot hubby are disgusting! :/
BITCH PLEASE!
Just wikipedia this woman and find out exactly what a ho she is.
She should just pipe down for a bit.
hahahaha — Perez, too right! — AMERICANS wouldn't know who she is… but the rest of the world does!
Americans MAY know who she is, BUT they DON'T care who she is. I hope VF flops in sales.
Are you kidding me Perez?
You are the one who talk about her on your blog.
And Jackie was a slut too.
Please Jackie Kennedy didn't do anything for the world.They are both ONLY first ladies it's nothing really important.
i guess people who don't care about fashion culture wouldn't know that she's a former supermodel.
Hey bitch all your ugly celebs are famous in France.
So why should we know your celebs and not you?
Be a little open-minded.
It's going to be funny when China will take the world Americans will shit their pants.I love America but seriously you guys sometimes suck, try to be a little OPEN-MINDED!!
Even if i don't like her she is actually talented not like Miley.
Couldn't have said it better myself Perez…doesn't France not like Americans anyway?
Re: Nish –
Well it's not true we gave you Lady Liberty after all.Don't forget Lady Liberty is from FRANCE!!!
wow…lol…im reading some of the comments and there seems to be a lot of AMERICAN HATERS…wanting to come to AMERICA to work and live here.=)
PLEASEEEEEEE JACKIE O was a FUG bitch in love with fame and money.
They BOTH suck.
It's not like they said the next Mother Theresa.Get over yourself fat pig.
Jackie means nothing.
LOL Perez is jealous.Well you should maybe marry Sarkozy.
And didn't you write several times about her in the past?
Lol @ the Jackie O "Blasphemous" what the fuck Jackie did for our world? Nothing.She was just a fame/money hungry bitch.Her only concern was herself.
Carla is more beautiful than Jackie they both suck(ed) though.
Most Americans who pay the slightest attention to world events know who she is. Whether we care is another matter entirely.
The new Jackie O is Michele Obama. Jackie O had style and graciousness and class. Carla is waaaay too slutty to be put in that catagory. M. Obama is still learning the ropes, but she's getting there.
OMG WDF????
Vanity Fair is like my EFFFIng bible!!! why would they do this to me??? put THIS hooker on their cover? Shizzle!!!
what am i supposed to read after this? omg…Carla Bruni is like the slutties Euro ever!! she can just shove it with that skinny arse nose and…ugh I cant even.
*exasperated breath*
:(
Why is this blasphemous?? And the cover is fine, at least she doesn't have her breasts hiked up to her chin, and skirt up showing her panties. I think this is pretty safe.
I LOVE Carla Bruni! Very talented and classy to boot!
But Jackie O was a slut too …
She is just with Sarkozy for the media attention , once he won't be a president anymore, she will let him down. Anyway, he's a "plouc" as we say in France !
That's better than the way the media calls Obama and his wife the New Kennedys — JFK and Jacki! as if!!!!!
"Do most Americans even know who Carla Bruni is????" hahahahaha honestly does the americans even know who their president is? i dont think so! i would be very surprise if the majority is able to spell their own name, but i know that not all of americans are like that, some knows exacly what happens outside their back yard and i am sure they can tell who that woman is. I am so dissapointed at you , i always liked you dry/sarcastic way to expose the truth but i can see that this website is going to a whole new direction ( you just became one trashy z lister, poor thing you think you are a celebrity now).
who gives a fuckin' shit about her???she is just a famewhore!!!!FUCK CARLA
Perez, I think you underestimate Americans.
And it's an international issue. Look wider than America!
I mean, the other headlines include Magabe.
being compared to jackie o is tacky. why comparisons? she is the first lady of france and doesnt need to be compared to or even cares about american icons.
michelle obama is next jackie o? ahahhahhhhha. thats rich.
Re: @v@ – Agreed. Perez I think she's gorgeous and seems really down to earth.
Carla Bruni is NOT the next Jacki O, but I LOVE her nonetheless…
hey!! Writing from France, we don't understand neither how dare they can try to convince us she's the new JackieO(and also that her husband is the kennedy kind…)They are just disgusting, that's all!!! At least you know about our bling bling president…help!!!!!!!!!!!!(and you can see she's pretty, but what the heck??She a betrayer(she's supposed to be left-wing….lol)
Who cares Americans? Carla is much better then Jackie and Europeans do it so much better than Americans!
Vanit Fair is for cultured, educated and smart people, therefore most Americans won't buy it! Of course they won't know who she is because most US citizens don't look beyond their own border. They probably don't even know who the French president is either. Carla Bruni is not a money grabbing social climber as some previous poster has stated - aside from the fact she was a supermodel and singer who made her own money, she comes from an aristocratic, cultured & highly educated Italian family. And just because she dated some very famous men doesn't make her a slut either!
I'm french and most of the french think the President of French Republic uses her new wife for his popularity…Bling bling behaviour
beautiful woman, kind of aristocratic beauty…yeas she is not the new Jackie.O She is much more original.
beautiful woman, kind of aristocratic beauty…yeas she is not the new Jackie.O She is much more original.
french people hate her.
eh Eh
Dude looks like a lady
eh Eh
Dude looks like a lady
eh Eh
Dude looks like a lady
eh Eh
Dude looks like a lady
I'm sure his jilted ex wife and children just think Carla is the epitome of benevolence and class. They would know.
how cheap and ill fitting her riding boots are!!!!! Anyone with any experience in the show ring knows that high quality riding boots have long, well fitted calves. They should go well up to the middle of the knee and fit like a glove.
She looks like trailer trash dressed for a faux-glam shot in a sears store.
You're so right, I'm french and Carla Bruni is definitely NOT the next Jackie O!
Thank God for the return of supermodels to the cover of Vogue!! I WILL pay for this issue.
