Is Carla Bruni Knocked Up Again?


Here is a photo of France's new First Lady arriving in England with her midget husband. Her outfit speaks diplomatic volumes: flats, so as not to tower over M. Sarkozy; modest tweed, so as to remind Camilla of her youth back in the Depression. (In turn, Camilla wears a trashy befeathered nightmare hat because she is a tart.) But the real question is, why would a rail-thin former model be sporting a little belly pooch? We smell shotgun wedding. [The Sun]

Huckabee on Jamie Lynn Spears' Pregnancy

Was there a time when candidates weren’t asked to weigh in on every cultural touchstone of an issue on the campaign trail? Or did they just maybe used to know better? Last night, reporters asked Huckabee what he thought of the pregnancy of 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears. Naturally, he thinks she made “right decision, a good decision” about not getting an abortion, but he doesn’t want other teenage girls to be thinking that getting pregnant is a good idea. Look, I have a suggestion, Mike. You don’t want kids to get obese and you don’t want them to get pregnany (laudable goals, both). How about instead of getting rids of sodas and snack foods in school and abstinence education, you simply show women in childbirth, perhaps from the Discovery Channel show Babies Special Delivery, on a loop in the cafeteria? Two birds, one stone, man. [Political Punch]

Enquirer Reports: Rielle with Someone's Child [Updated]

Who wasn’t surprised yesterday when Drudge posted a developing story about supposed Edwards-mistress Rielle Hunter being pregnant (even though it was from the National Enquirer)? Who wasn’t then further surprised to see no mention of it on the NE’s site until this morning (though it was re-posted here much of yesterday afternoon) and Drudge’s link not working for more than 12 hours? Hrm. Interesting. More »

Freshman Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand announced this afternoon that she and her younger husband Jonathan (you go girl!) are expecting their second child in May. Gillibrand is 41 and the couple’s other child, who hopefully got her looks, is four, while her ecstatic husband is 38. Congratulations! [Albany Times Union]
