The Sarkozys Visit Israel
 Talk about a 180 degree change with his predecessor Jacques Chirac: French president Nicolas Sarkoz and his wife Carla Bruni are currently on a three-day visit to Israel after years of French disengagement from the country. Sarkozy repeated that a nuclear-armed Iran is "unacceptable" (we've heard that before). He also added that Israel should freeze settlement building on Palestinian territory. But forget all the boring political talk, it seems in Israel, as in every other country the duo visit, attention is squarely focused on the glamourous Carla. From AP: "Queen Carla," said a headline on the front page of Yediot Ahronot, Israel's largest daily. Inside was a two-page spread with a collage of her photos and a breakdown of her wardrobe — including the $2,500 Prada dress she wore upon arrival, a $1,200 hand purse and a $650 pair of sandals. Is there a separate budget line for Carla's wardobe? 2 Comments

Interesting! Just heard one of Carla Brunis' songs (for the first time) on one of the bigger Israeli radio- stations.......and I can't say that I'm impressed, it was a "snoozer".
