Carla Bruni on Letterman

First lady of France, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was on Letterman the other night to promote her new album “Comme Si de Rien N’Etait” (As if Nothing Happened.) She wore a drab gray pant suit and sported lackluster brown hair. Why was Vanity Fair’s September cover girl so frumpy, you ask?. It might have something to do with her trying to distance herself from her past supermodel (and hyper-sexual) glamor days, but she’s gone the other extreme, looking positively matronly.

Yes, this new Carla did not seem like the sexual predator many believe her to be. Polyandry? This woman wrecked Jerry Hall’s marriage to Mick Jagger? These are the kinds of questions Carla wants us all to ask. And I did ask in disbelief, until she started talking in that breathy, come-hither way.

The interview was surprisingly boring with Letterman flustering as usual.

On another note: Why was she on Letterman? When was the last time a French actor or singer went on national US television to promote anything?
