After much speculation that France's First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was pregnant, the news has finally been confirmed.

But it wasn’t Bruni or her hubby President Nicolas Sarkozy who revealed the news, it was his father!

The excited grandad told a German newspaper that Bruni is preggers, adding:

"Neither wants to know the gender beforehand, but I'm certain it will be a girl, and beautiful like Carla."

The wife of ex-French President Jacques Chirac spoke to the press today to congratulate the happy couple, saying:

"It's wonderful news to see this baby coming. It's a chance for France, absolutely. And a birth, it's a wonderful event for a family, the arrival of a child. There is nothing nicer. A baby at the Elysee (presidential palace), yes. It's wonderful for them and for all the French people.”

Congrats, Carla!

Well this certainly won't end those pregnancy rumors!

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy bump watch heated up on Friday when she was seen greeting the President of South Korea and his wife in Paris wearing a baggy top and loose-fitting pants.

The French First lady and former model is known for wearing clothes that compliment her thin figure, which is why it has so many people talking.

Who knows, maybe it was casual Friday at the Elysee Palace.

LVMH owned perfume house Guerlain is being sued by anti-racism groups after Jean-Paul Guerlain dropped the n-bomb on TV.

During the French state TV interview, Guerlain was asked about his new fragrance Samsara, to which he replied: "I worked like a n****r. I don't know if n*****s have always worked like that, but anyway."

Because of Jean-Paul's insensitive comments, Al Sharpton and other US civil rights activists hope to meet with French president Nicolas Sarkozy to discuss what the perfumier said.

L’Oreal heiress Lilane Bettencourt had an unpleasant surprise today in Paris when her house was raided by police.

Bettencourt, France’s richest woman, has been accused of making secret and potentially illegal payments to French leaders, including President Nicolas Sarkozy.

That’s not the only reason police had to raid her home — Bettencourt is at the center of multiple ongoing cases, one of which revolves around 80 million euros in a Swiss bank account that she failed to report on her taxes.

Further, her daughter recently went to court and tried to recover one billion euros that Bettencourt gave to a photographer, Francois-Marie Banier. Her daughter claims that Bettencourt is no longer mentally competent enough to handle her money. Banier, who was the only person listed on Bettencourt’s will, was removed after she paid him the money.
