French in a frenzy over Sarkozy and Bruni rumours

FRANCE was buzzing last night as claims President Nicolas Sarkozy and his supermodel wife Carla Bruni were both having affairs gathered steam.

What started out as a rumour on Twitter yesterday began appearing in mainstream French media.

It was first tweeted that Sarkozy’s pop singer wife of two years was involved with the French musician Benjamin Biolay, who is six years her junior. Webzine suchablog.com later suggested Bruni, 43, and Biolay had built a love nest together at a flat in Paris.
