Nicolas Sarkozy, Playboy President?

News reports say that Nicolas Sarkozy, the just-divorced president of France, is just-maybe-possibly engaged to former model Carla Bruni.

Journal di Dimanche has a photo set on Bruni. The paper broke the story yesterday, saying Sarkozy and Bruni might marry in February.

Sarkozy is 52, Bruni 39. Sarkozy and his second wife Cecilia, also a former model, divorced in October.

The Guardian has a funny report on the whole affair, noting that the couple's first date, "to watch the Mickey Mouse parade at Disneyland Paris," was "slammed by critics as naff."
