Slap smack claque!
In 2' I get a glimpse of the VIP in France at the moment. I realized I lost contact, a good chunck were totally unknown to me, tipically the "starlettes" and reality show crowd.
You can see the international really famous in France: only few head of states, Bush, Merkel, Bin Laden, Cheney and rumsfeld (more smacks than Blair, is there more american democrat than english citizen reading french blog?), Berlusconi. Plus some sportsmen Alonso and materazzi, Armstrong. Added with the hollywood (tom cruise, Arnie), Show-Bizz wins! We politic freaks are a minority.
I was surprised how many of the new faces in the Show-bizz have immigrant origines, it changed very fast in the last 5+ years.
The visitors are quite diverse: LePen (the classic MSM booh-man) get about the same magnitude of smacks this week as the secretaire général of the MRAP(anti-racism activist and wannabe politician). La répartie est dans l'escalier. Elle revient de suite.
I must admit that since I don't watch TV and don't listen to the radio and music, I'm a bit off also :).
