Remember that naked Carla Bruni photo that was up for auction at Christie's this week? Apparently, it ended up selling for a cool $91,000 ... which was still small change compared to the pair of Helmut Newton photos which went for $241,000. We told everyone they could've saved a lot of money simply by combing through the Fleshbot archives and using a good old laser printer, but does anyone listen to us? (Gawker)

Once again, we don't understand why rich people would bid thousands of dollars on a naked picture of French First Lady Carla Bruni when they can find dozens of them online for free. Maybe that's why we're not rich? (dailymail.co.uk + Gawker)

Last time on Who Wants To Fuck Your Country?, we sparked some serious debate (mostly about what constitutes a Latin American country, but whatever). To be fair to the rest of the planet, the folks at Guanabee have applied their controversial mathematical perambulations to several other nations -- while we applied our babe-gathering skills to prove them wrong. So here's another round of Country Fuckability Values, and once again it's sure to creat...

A recent study of sexuality in France shows that women have become the new "sexual predators" in Gallic society, and somehow homewrecker-slash-First Lady Carla Bruni is to blame. People make fun of their men for losing all those wars, but maybe they know something the rest of us don't. (telegraph.co.uk)

I am really sick of Bill Clinton lately, doing all the obnoxious campaigning for Hillary so I was piqued when I found this image of Bill and Monica in a reproduction of Rubens’ Cimon and Pero on this site. Here’s the original by Rubens, one of my favorite painters and definitely the Jeff Koons of 17th Century Flanders. Now in contrast to the porcine Lewinsky, take a gander at Nicolas Sarkozy’s hot girlfriend Carla Bruni in som...

After our hastily composed and thoroughly unresearched post on French First Mistress Carla Bruni yesterday, we though we should be more responsible bloggers and provide more context to this story. So we spent most of our morning learning about Nikolas Sarkozy's labor polices and his plans to integrate France's highly unionized workforce into the more progressive social framework of the European Union's burgeoning service economy. Just kidding! W...

No sooner had we trained our politically scientific eye to the French political scene, then we stumbled on this even sexier development from the country formerly known as the Soviet Union. It seems that current Russian overlord Vladimir Putin discovered a better way to distract voters from his policies than dating a sexy French pop star—he recruited several of the country's former Olympic athletes to ruin for parliamentary elections under ...

Have you heard about the scandalous political scandal that has all of France positively ... er, scandalized? We don't read the papers much, but from what we've gathered some dude who's like the president or something totally cheated on his wife and unlike in some countries (ahem) French people are usually down with the whole world leaders having mistresses thing, except that this dude dumped his wife in the middle of a campaign (maybe?) and then...
