Porn queen and model among EU election candidates

Europeans are enjoying a smirk before the usually staid European Parliament elections, with curious candidates such as a porn star who dons risque outfits, a soccer player and a supermodel.

Voting for the parliament – not widely admired, but increasingly powerful – is held June 10-13 in the recently expanded, 25 nation European Union. It is the first time the 10 newly admitted EU nations, largely from the old Soviet bloc, get to vote.
