French President Nicolas Sarkozy is going where Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Donald Trump have gone before, dating Italian supermodel turned singer Carla Bruni. Don't laugh about the 'singer' part: Bruni's 2003 Quelqu'un M'a Dit debut, sung almost entirely in French, was surprisingly charming. Her new album, the English speaking No Promises, however, misguidedly sets poems like W.H. Auden's "At Last The Secret Is Out" to music, and is not so fetching. What's next, George Bush making time with Carrie Underwood? Gordon Brown going out with Amy Winehouse?
