Asylum News Alert: We always like to update you on breaking international news stories, and just in case you haven't heard, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has divorced his former model wife and has now, less than two months later, begun dating a babe.

That's right, he's upgraded from former model to supermodel. (If only Chryslers came with that kind of trade-in value.)

Check out Carla Bruni -- the soon to be former model (and if history is any judge, the soon to be former Mrs. Sarkozy).

But how will this affect American-Franco relations? Well, it certainly ups the political rivalry: The ball's in your court, President Clinton.

To view the woman that puts the Vie back in la France, see our slideshow.

The Many Sides of Carla Bruni
