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!!!!!!!!!

Perez,
I am French and I do agree Perez ! She does not deserve so much attention.
Perez,
I know you don't read these, so I have no idea why I am writing this. I do read your blogs because it is my guilty pleasure to keep up on the celebrity gossip. However, I can't understand why you are so incredibly critical of people. Yes they are movie stars and that comes with a price, but when you see someone beautiful, flawless, and thin, and still have a problem with them…I have to ask…does anything please you?
This will be my last time on your website.
she is so NOT the new Jackie O…how dare they compare that slut to a lady???!!!
I'm French and I do agree Perez.
Here in France, many -the majority of- French think she is married with our President only for 'business'. She used to change her boyfriends in order to stay 'famous' and recognized by people. She became a singer when she dated Raphael (A French singer) and JL Aubert (another one from the former 'Telephone' band, very famous in the 80's and still known in France)… Indeed, she looks like she's scratching the parquet floor with her teeth (A french proverb to define very ambitious people). Even more, we think it is an agreement she has with our President, because he divorced a few months ago from his wife and marry her suddenly… She also looks like the former wife of our president very much (Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz). So, she isn't the new Jacky O for sure. Just an hideous imitation. Michelle Obama is. Hope she will be in November…
Of course American know who she is, IDIOT
EWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Even I, who's french, think she's gross!!!And you re totally right, comparing HER to jackie O.? I mean come on!!!!!!!!
I love Carla Bruni. Isnt Vanity Fair an international magazine? Mrs Sarkozy looks beautiful.
not on a bet!
Vanity Fair has been an embarrassment for years. Graydon Carter should be ashamed of how low he's taken it - into the gutter like himself.
she's GREAT !! and maybe she's the new jACKIE O !
Oh dear she is nothing for french people!!! She can't speak she has no brain!!! Her only job is to be naked for our stupid president!!!
HELP WE HAVE A PRESIDENT CLOWN IN FRANCE SHAME FOR US!!!!!:/
FRANCE IS REALLY SAD
@Celin, you are an idiot. Carla, no brain? She's highly educated, can speak THREE languages perfectly, is incredibly smart and well-mannered. You may not like her husband for being too pro-American , but you cannot say stupid things about Carla.
I had the honour of meeting her in 2004 at the Evian Golf Tournament, well before she met Sarkozy and I found her delightful. If there's a first lady with class, it's really her.
Do most Americans even know where France is…?
NOT the next Jackie O. but for all you ignorant people, she is the first lady of france… and france is a beautiful country full of non-ignorant people. au contraire, they are extremely cultured. carla is definitely not the next jackie o there will never be another..
Do you have to confirm every prejudice about americans? How can people not know who the first lady of France is? And why should American magazines only have American on their cover?
Crala Bruni and Jackie O have a lot in common, except Carla comes from a far richer and dinstinguished family. They both like powerful men, have an impecable sense of style and sleep only with rich men no matter how ugly they are (Aristoteles Onassis anyone? ring a bell?)
jackie o was soooo long ago move with the time perez
princess diana knocked her off the no 1 slot years ago
you need to get out more
are you kidding me!?!?!? before i even read the caption the first thing i thought was, "wow beautiful lady'
don't touch to her first lady, she's better than jackie
elle est mieux que la mère bush !
Well at least she's wearing clothes in this one. She featured on the front of free magazine supplement (from one of the sunday newspapers) in Ireland recently hardly wearing any clothes - you could see that she wasn't wearing any knickers…..scandalous !!!!
Stop comparing people Jackie was Jackie,Carla is Carla.
No one is better.
Are you people blind? I find it hilarious how you people can say 'yuck' when I am quite sure that NON of you are as beautiful as her or even close for that matter, jealousy is a bitch.
Perez, i agree with you on almost everything but not on this. If you don't know who Carla Bruni is then you're not worthy of touching this mag. She was a supermodel in the 90's for fucks sake and she is the hot new 1st lady of France. She is sassy n classy and deserves to be on the cover!!!!! LOVE HER!
she's prettier than Jackie O actually
Hi everybody,
i'm french so I know what I'm talking about, not as you dear Perez…
Why can we say that Carla is the new Jackie ? Yes, she has style, like to be in a natural way, but always stylish. But, more important: she like money and power, as Jackie. Don't make Jackie as an icon (or only for the style) because she has only hunger for power and money too ! She married Onassis - one of the most rich men in the world at this time - and never loved him, and that, just after being the firt lady, the lady in the pink and bloody suit !
Think before loving to much people…
why does she have wonky eyes????
What exactly is the problem? So cynical, you are. Rough life?
Re: Carol – I agree with you. i wasn't very fond of her originally but i don't know that much about her to judge her and if she is that rich, it makes me think of something very interesting. so when rich men only go out with supermodels, heiresses and celebrity women, that's cool, but when rich women (and most of the time media don't acknowledge how rich they are, sometimes wealthier than their partner) date rich men, people call them gold digger. wtf? anyway, i don't know her worth but the presidents of republics are not all that, they are not that rich so i can actually believe carla is way richer than her husband (for crying out loud, she got freaking 2 highly paid job + she's a heiress!)
any look at international news outlets will intimate how popular she is. not only is she a new "first lady," she has a successful career and her own life. no need to be so harsh
this is sooooo fucking embarassing…do u know that that woman stole Cahrlotte gainsbourg's husban shamlessly and that shes been married or dated every other star in france…she is a whore and she only collects rich husbands…plus sarkosy is the worst french president ever…fucking racist…what message does vogue sends to its readers???? fucking embarassing…ayayaye…
Love Carla!
You Americans are clearly stupid morons: because she is not American, she can't be on the cover? Don't be surprised if the whole world consider you as uneducated / white trash / low scale people… If you don't know who Carla Bruni is, don't mock your fellow-citizen who think France is not a country, and who never heard about HUngary… Same old same old. Get an educated brain, and then read Perez Hilton blog, you'll know how bad American he is, and what a shame he represents for you all…
She is the original slut and homewrecker. Read about her past stories. In comparison, Sienna Miller is a candid lovely girl. She just get the men that she wants regardless. I believe she was bored lately, so decided to play the new Jackie O. Look at her dress or at her moves. It would be comic if it wasn't that sad that she really became the first lady of France.
I just wonder who will become bored first: Carla to play this game or Sarkozy of her to get another woman. He is not unused to that either.
Dear Perez, I want to thank you first for your great sense of humour.
But for Vanity Fair magazine to put her on their cover is what their readers are expected…this mag is not read by "Americans" cause you are right "Americans" do not know who she is…they do not even know where France is…
I love Perez but don't say that come on….you have french reader as myself…….she is not really great on this picture ok and she is not Jacky O but let's face it: she is one of the best looking and best dressed 1st lady in the world right now…..like was Jacky O
Thank you Perez for remembering your international readers
Love you
Vi
I know who she is!!
Isn't she the one he cheated on his wife with??? NICE!
Re: Arshy – Well'if this is the level of most americans european know how…. Nothing to be proud of….
I mean Perez…. Carla Bruni was one of the supermodels of the 90's along with Claudia Schiffer, Naomi campbell, Linda Evangelista, ecc. At least you should know this! She was very well known back then and was (and still is) amazingly beautiful. She is italian but grew up partly in France. She also became a successful musician writing her own music. She has impressive songwriting skills and she plays guitar. She's currently on top of french charts. she also very well educated and speak many languages fluently. Many people hate her because of her tumultous relationships but all in all she is a very strong and intelligent woman and obviously beautiful
definitely the new Jackie O as opposed to Mrs. Obama–ugh
Your a fucking idiot if you dont know who she is.
Muse to Dior. Married to French Prez. Style Icon. Musician, Model…and much more.
I-G-N-O-O-R-R-A-N-T is how it spelled idiot!
This chick is ugly; what's with the wonky eye?
I think she is stylish and deserves that cover. The rest of us should care
The french obviously have a different standard of beauty which is SUBPAR to what we as americans consider beautiful.
I agree with perez, blasphemous to consider this who/re tramp trash anywhere near the elegance, sophistication, intelligence, class, beauty, and personality of jackie O…the nerve!
Ms. Obama has way more elegance and class than this hunk of trash.
What exactly is "icky icky poo" about this cover? I think she looks great on it, and at first glance i thought she was Cate Blanchett.
pauvres gens!!!! vous faites toujours autant pitié les américains!!! sortez de votre trou putain!!! et pourquoi tant de haine à l'encontre d'une femme dont vous ne connaissez la vie qu'à travers les médias américains!!!
nous au moins on a le mérite d'avoir pour 1 ère dame , une femme qui ressemble à quelque chose, qui a de la classe et de la persoinnalité. à la différence de beaucoup d'autres.
je ne la comparerais pas à votre jackie o , périodes différentes , femmes différentes rien à voir! lâchez l'affaire .
vous prouvez vraiment votre ignorance avec vos "fucking frog" c'est 1 plat qui a presque disparu en france .les chinois en mangent d'ailleurs plus que nous, alors taisez-vous au lieu d'avancer des choses dont vous ne connaissez pas la véracité!! vous ne connaissez rien ni à la france , ni aux français ou notre culture ,alors venez pas test!!
Hi,
I'm French and I agree with you … she's just the wife of our "lovely" president …
In France all magazines speak about Sarkozy and his "beautiful" wife. So boring … And now they cross the sea and arrive to you.
We're sorry to send you this …
She's an italian goddess, of course u didn't know who she is. She was the muse of Ives Saint Laurent, ignorants assholes.
LOVE CARLA BRUNI… american's dont know who she is because they only think american culture is important.. oh and also, american fashion … THE WORST IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY MENS.
She's a professional girlfriend, just like Angie Everhart. She'll be divorced from Sarcozy in due time.
If you don't you should. It's good that VF is educating the americans a little bit. We know far too little about what goes on around us.
Oh and in case you don't remember, she was a singer before - wonderful music!
Mia, L.A, currently living in Paris
Get over yourselfs!
So what if you dumbassamericans don't know who she is!?
People with an actuall brain does.
You are embarrassing me, jack ass. For pop culture to be your forte, you are lacking in your trivia. She stole Mick Jagger from Jerry Hall, baby-daddy, etc.
…All up in the press, pretard.
Re: itali –
No true.YSL's muse was Catherine Deneuve,he also really loved Laeticia Casta.
anyone under 18 /o does not know who she is, but if you were around in the 90s you would know that she was one of the 90's supermodels (with Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawdord, Naomi Cambell, Linda Evangelista, Chrity Turlington, Helena Christensen and Claudia Shiffer) as well as the muse for some of the top designers in the world… she is also known because of he in the jet set coming from Italian nobility as well as being a HUGE successful singer over the last few years… her last album is actually bringing lots of controversy background y,because as the first lady she is singing about taking drugs and partying her ass off….. her biggest flaw: marrying the short, stupid new French president…. there
she does look horrible in this pic.. actually kinda reminds me of the crazy "cat lady" plastic surgery mess…
Jackie O was a third rate whore who was built up by the media to be this beautiful icon. When in reality she really just needed some good dental work done and maybe a penacillian (sp?) shot.
i'm american.
i know who Carla Bruni is:
- wife of French President Sarkozy
- gorgeous young pop singer
her music is fun. she's delightfully talented.
perez, you should check it out!!
especially song title: Le plus beau du quartier
Re: Arshy – oh you are a stupid, stupid race.
Ohh Sooo mean!! And also so true!! WTF?? FUCK NICOLAS AND CARLA SARKOZY!! Pleaseeee don't tell me that you think they're representing France?!!
Perez, you stoopid ignorant slut! If you you knew even a little bit about Carla Bruni you'd realize that she's way more interesting than any of those Hollywood idiots you slobber over. And about Jackie O, Carla's got her beat by a mile. Don't be such a parochial American.
