The Daily Mail informs me that Carla Bruni placed a not-so-respectable 8th in a recent listing of iconic Frenchwomen (based on a survey of a few thousand frenchies). Topping the list was another femme fatale type: outgoing justice minister and (former) Sarkozy protégée Rachida Dati. Some of what I’ve read has conveyed the existence of a kind of catfight situation between Carla and Rachida (who reportedly had a thing for the prez and was hoping to move in when his second wife dumped him). Carla, of course, put an end to any aspirations Rachida may have had along those lines and allegedly told her to stop calling her man every morning at the crack of dawn. Rachida (who’s single and 43) went on to have a baby at the beginning of this year and has refused to name the father. She went back to work 5 days after giving birth, but this didn’t stop Sarko from kicking her out of his cabinet. Not because of the unwed motherhood thing, which of course is not a big deal over there, but because he was just plain over her. Now Carla’s telling a women’s magazine that she wants a baby, too.
Meanwhile, they’re questioning a guy suspected of sending death threats (with bullets) to Sarkozy, Rachida and some other members of his cabinet. For a minute, I was worried one of my Sarko-hating Parisian friends might be involved. But he’s way to cool for those kinds of dorky antics. Have not ruled him out as the father of Rachida’s baby, though.
