...says she believes Bruni's star status, coupled with the kinetic 52-year-old President, is driving the strong interest in Sarkozy's sex life. "The constellation of power and glamour is pretty irresistible, especially in a place as fashion conscious as this," she says. "This would be like Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy." Among his detractors in France, the president has regularly been called "Sarko l'americain." And like Kennedy, Sarkozy has carefully crafted his image as the modernizing President who will shatter outdated traditions - including perhaps the tradition of disregarding French leaders' sexual relationships. In contrast...
Eulogy from a Colleague Thanks for acknowledging the career of comic Marilyn Martinez [Nov. 26]. She was embraced by the Latino/Latina comedy community, and thank goodness for that. But before she made her way to Los Angeles, she was based in Denver, where she was widely accepted by women and by the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. I was her comedy partner from 1977 to 1980. Marilyn got laughs for some raunchy material but was also political and avant-garde. We played throughout the U.S., and I'm glad to know that her work with me supported her subsequent...
...candor about everything, from bodily functions to sexual fantasies--a turnoff for squeamish honchos who could have promoted her career--made stand-up comic Marilyn Martinez a heroine among her fans. The racy, unapologetically "fat" Martinez had tiny roles on TV (My Wife and Kids) and in film (Pauly Shore Is Dead) but mostly liked to discomfit her male-dominated industry in gigs with all-Latina troupes such as the Hot and Spicy Mamitas and the Latin Divas of Comedy, with whom she anchored a cable special this year. She was 52 and had colon cancer...
...recent Friday evening session, Hagen led students through a combination of traditional yoga poses, primal grunts, theatrical expressions and lots of laughter. Hagen's facial exercises include the Smiling Fish (purse your lips and smile slightly), the Marilyn (blow kisses while keeping your forehead smooth) and the Satchmo (puff out your face and transfer air from cheek to cheek). Lined up in front of the mirror, their fingers pressed into their foreheads and their tongues lolling, the participants looked deranged, but they seemed to be onto something good. "When we walk in, you can see how tired and stressed...
...expressed personal indebtedness to American sacrifice during both World Wars and in launching the Marshall Plan, almost as if he'd been a witness to them himself (he was born in 1955). He similarly reeled off a list of American pop culture icons that inspire lasting French admiration, including Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, John Wayne, and the Armstrong Sarkozy hailed for "fulfilling mankind's oldest dream." (It turned out he meant Neil's moonwalk, not Lance's record-setting seven Tour de France wins...
