Madame Sarkozy
Pick Of The Day - Later Live...With Jools Holland, BBC2 10pm France's first lady Carla Bruni heads a defiantly eccentric line-up as Jools returns for another nineweek stint of musical pick 'n' mix.
No offence to Madame Sarkozy but I dare say it will be thrash merchants Metallica who'll get more bums on seats as they make their first appearance in the Later studio for 12 years, performing tracks from their cheerily themed new album Death Magnetic.
Touching down from Tennessee, festival favourites Kings Of Leon will be unveiling some tracks from their new album, Only By The Night, while New Jersey songstress Nicole Atkins makes her Later debut.
A slight disappointment is that The Fireman, the electronic collaboration of Paul McCartney and Youth, who were expected to be on the bill tonight, had to pull the plug on their appearance. But filling the gap with a great big dollop of doo-wop will be up and coming East London gal VV Brown.
Later in the series we're promised Dave Gilmour, The Verve, Coldplay, Grace Jones, Glen Campbell, The Streets, The Kaiser Chiefs and more.
And if you miss the show on Tuesdays there'll always be another chance to see a longer version on Friday nights.
It is not unusual for post-divorce bitching and sniping to continue long after the legal papers have been signed and new lives embarked upon. However, after complaining about the way the media revelled in the venom thrown in both directions during her divorce, Cécilia Attias, ex-wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, mentioned the unmentionable during an interview with a Swiss newspaper at the weekend.
The former Madame Sarkozy explained that what had hurt her the most about the breakdown of her marriage was not who had cheated on whom, or anything to do with the size of a financial settlement.
No, it was a lament over the great number of friends that she has lost since her split from the French President.
"I was betrayed by close friends," she revealed. "I don't hold it against them. Such is human nature." Cecilia sounds rather forgiving, but the word "betrayed" brings with it strong connotations of trust and loyalty and implies that she believed these friends to be rightly hers, before adding a devastatingly sharp afterthought: "I understand that the gold of the French Republic could tempt more than one. Every time a married couple falls out of love they have shared friends who each will believe to be as rightfully theirs as certain material clutter. Poor Cécilia was up against a powerhouse of an ex-husband, who can offer not only his company and good humour, but also the key to the Elysée Palace and the status conferred by being friends with a world leader.
But how can such priceless objects as friends be divvied up if a relationship goes wrong?
Relationship expert Judi James says most couples will experience something similar to Cécilia, and will find many of their friendships dissolve with their marriage. "Even if a couple have been together for many years and the friends have become mutual friends, it is amazing how people pull rank when you go through a divorce and say, 'They were my friends originally Such behaviour should leave both parties with a pool of friends but, says James, one of them will probably have ditched their friends in favour of the relationship. "It is quite rare that a couple will both keep their friends when they get together. Often, something of a selection process goes on and it is usually the more obnoxious character who keeps their friends."
Cécilia Attias was well known for her influence over her ex-husband's political appointments and is credited with introducing him to Rachida Dati, who she described as her "sister" and has gone on to become the French Justice Minister. James says that in a situation such as that of the Sarkozys, where Nicolas had the dominant career, Cécilia was never going to walk off with the larger tranche of friends. "She must have been acting as a politico wife and didn't stand a hope in hell of picking up any of those friends at all She may get the initial calls of sympathy but there will be a weeding-out process."
Unfairly, it is often the victim or weaker party in a divorce who will ultimately end up with fewer friends. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Surviving Divorce has a chapter on how to hang on to your friends, which points out that if you need a shoulder to cry on, it is best to spread your woes out over a few shoulders, so that none feel too burdened. James agrees, explaining that after the initial round of sympathetic phonecalls, all friends will drift towards the person they enjoy socialising with, regardless of where the blame if there is some to be apportioned lies 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z Madame Butterfly Gianina D`angelo
