POPSNew France Law: Thin Models Illegal!
The bill reflects concerns about pro-anorexic (so-called pro-ana) websites, said to encourage extreme weight loss. But Boyer said the legislation's impact would be wide-ranging. The bill is the latest in a series of measures to be proposed following the 2006 anorexia-linked death of a Brazilian model prompted efforts to tackle eating disorders within the fashion industry. Didier Grumbach, president of the influential French Federation of Couture, said: "Never will we accept in our profession that a judge decides if a young girl is skinny or not skinny. That doesn't exist in the world, and it will certainly not exist in France."

POPSIf you Suck at Sports, do you Suck at Life? Orson Scott Card goes on to say this about organized sports for kids: "Too much like the real world, too little like play.

He wishes that "a kid who's lousy at sports but good at music or theatre or writing or videogames should get as much encouragement and honor as any athlete. But he won't." The only time I had fun with sports was when it was just for fun. If it got competitive I left because I could think of a lot better things to get upset about. I poured myself into drama, debate, reading, videogames. Now I'm 26, married for four years, a filmmaker, and a CEO of my own company.... and I still suck at sports.

Un conseiller de Nicolas Sarkozy qui lâche : "Pourvu que Ségolène Royal tienne." Un député du parti majoritaire qui s'alarme : "En appelant à donner des parrainages à Le Pen nous allons transformer le second tour en un référendum contre nous." Depuis deux semaines, l'atmosphère autour de Nicolas Sarkozy est devenue plus opaque, plus angoissée. Philippe Ridet

POPSNicolas Sarkozy, vingt-cinq ans d'investissement dans les médias Nicolas Sarkozy lâche souvent cette mise en garde ironique aux journalistes : "C'est drôle, je connais tous vos patrons..." Ce n'est pas une fanfaronnade. Vingt-cinq ans d'investissement ont porté leurs fruits : même s'il est loin d'avoir avec tous des relations amicales, le président de l'UMP n'ignore aucun dirigeant des médias. Il connaît leur parcours, l'état capitalistique de leur groupe, leurs rivalités de pouvoir, leur vie privée.
