||
An unauthorised biography of the Italian supermodel and singer paints an
|
||
unflattering portrait of France's first woman, according to [The Times][2]
|
||
newspaper.
|
||
|
||
The book, titled _Carla, A secret Life,_ written by investigative journalist
|
||
Besma Lahouri, contradicts the image carefully carved by the Elysee Palace of
|
||
Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy as a "shy young woman".
|
||
|
||
Instead it details the affairs that she has had with a long list of celebrity
|
||
boyfriends including rock stars Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton.
|
||
|
||
It also claims that the 42-year-old Italian heiress, who married President
|
||
Sarkozy in 2008 after a short romance, has had extensive plastic surgery.
|
||
|
||
Miss Lahouri claims that on the couple's first summer holiday at Mrs Bruni-
|
||
Sarkozy's £2 million Riviera villa last year, the French first lady in invited
|
||
three former partners as house guests

Miss Lahouri writes: "Since he married the woman that some called a 'man-
|
||
eater', (Mr Sarkozy) has had to put up every day with the burdensome tribe.
|
||
Singers, philosophers, lawyers, bosses, men of the press or politics."
|
||
|
||
The book also tells how some men have been left devastated after being dropped
|
||
by the Italian model. But it dismisses [rumours][8] that circulated in March
|
||
that the French President and his wife were each having affairs.
|
||
|
||
Instead the book, which is published in France on Monday, claims that Mrs
|
||
Bruni-Sarkozy's past is the main source of friction between the two, but adds
|
||
that she was unimpressed when the President's attention was caught by actress
|
||
Catherine Zeta-Jones at a dinner in New York.
|
||
|
||
Miss Lahouri also claims that the Elysee conducted a media campaign in 2008 to
|
||
replace Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy's smouldering reputation with one more fitting to a
|
||
demure First Lady of France.
|
||
|
||
She claims that Pierre Charon, a civil servant at the Elysee Palace, told her:
|
||
"So we had to give her a new image. That of a shy young woman, for example
|
||
