"I'm off to the airport to pick up the ambassador from Bojo ... and then I have to cram myself into a press conference... and then I have to drag the ambassador's idiotic wife over to Yves Saint Laurent... but a girl's gotta eat. By the way, I'm off to Iran next week, so if you want a carpet just let me know ... And what about you? You've really decided not to go back to work? Well, everybody's gotta do their...
