Bardot to challenge Sarkozy in Prez poll

Oct 19, 2010 - London |

Brigitte Bardot, the Sixties sex symbol, has announced that she could be running for French President in the next election in 2012.
The former actress turned animal activist has been asked by France’s Ecology Alliance party to challenge Nicolas Sarkozy for the country’s leadership, reports the Daily Mail.
Bardot has written to Sarkozy telling him she may run against him because he ‘’took her for an idiot’’ by not keeping his manifesto promises to outlaw the traditional Muslim treatment of animals.
In a letter published in the French press, she wrote, “Because you do the opposite of what you say, I am studying a proposition from the Independent Ecology Alliance to be their presidential candidate in 2012. No matter whether it’s someone from the political left or right, we just need a voice to stand up and defend animal rights.”
The ecology party’s chairman Antoine Waechter added, “We think she is the best person to represent us for the presidency. If she accepts, a final decision will be taken next year.” Previously, in an interview with a magazine, she said that politics disgusted her.
“I am greatly misunderstood by politically correct idiots. Politics disgusts me,” she said.
In 2008, she branded US presidential candidate Sarah Palin ‘’a disgrace to women’’ and described her as ‘’disconcertingly stupid’’.

Is Harry dating rock singer?
London: Prince Harry has sparked rumours of a new romance with Scandinavian rock singer Camilla Romestrand. The British royal split from his longtime lover Chelsy Davy earlier this year and is now said to be dating the lead singer of rock band Eddie The Gun after they met here, reports newsoftheworld.co.uk.
Romestrand sent gossips into a frenzy after reportedly telling friends she stayed overnight at royal residence Clarence House, where the prince served her breakfast in bed. “She’s confided to a few people about her friendship with Harry. She talks about staying overnight at ‘the Palace’. She says he was a ‘total gentleman’ but didn’t divulge much,” said a source. —IANS
