Give her those good old European paparazzi any time. The Latin American version inspires sheer terror. Flying into Rio for a "rest" with her Brazilian playboy friend, Brigitte Bardot, 29, was met by 150 howling, straining newsmen who chased her clear up to his apartment. When all efforts to break in came to naught, the pack besieged the joint for four days, running their own beauty contest among the babes on Copacabana Beach and checking the trunks of all departing cars to make sure she wasn't smuggled out. Even a writ of habeas corpus failed to lift...
Love on a Pillow. On the wide screen in full color looms an eye approximately the size of a swimming pool. The next shot: gargantuan lips. The blonde hair is a veldt of tangled desires; the whited torso stands out like Gibraltar. Put them all together, they form Brigitte Bardot, back again in an epidermoid epic directed by her first husband Roger Vadim (And God Created Woman). For those who may have missed BB on earlier outings, Vadim-apparently reminiscing-offers the Grand Tour. He photographs her frontwards, backwards, sideways, closeup, long view, and from above, through what appears...
Under President Gustave Leven, 48, Perrier plans further diversification. It already bottles Pschitt orange and lemon soda and plans to market another soft drink in February.

U.S. demand for Perrier fell with repeal and the return of other liquids to choose from, but is now climbing...
...Poor Bardot. She has seldom looked more beautiful, and between zips she delivers intimations of creditable talent. But Director Vadim displays a flair for the banal that few actresses could conquer, particularly in his final scene: windblown and fully clothed, Bardot stands rigid amid the sun-drenched ruins of a Tuscan cathedral, while Hossein makes one of those long, long walks to fling himself at her feet...
With no femme fatale like Garbo, no woman with the animal splendors of the young Ava Gardner, Hollywood has completely lost its come-hither look, falling behind the competition from Europe, where Sophia Loren still unquestionably rules the pantheon. Around her, Bardot and Lollobrigida are fading. But Romy Schneider, Simone Signoret, Claudia Cardinale and Elke Sommer can each outsex all that the American industry has to offer. Hollywood is so barren of sex, in fact, that only last week Universal Pictures had to hold a beauty contest in New York's Americana Hotel in order to find three girls...
