This is a story about the First Lady in France. She is suing the clothing company, Pardon! for putting a naked picture of her on its shopping bags. Pardon! is defending this saying that Bruni is a lady in the public eye. Bruni is seeking $167,000 which, if she wins, will go to charity.
To me, the number of stories I find of celebrities suing for any sort of invasion of privacy is overwhelming. On one level, I feel bad for these celebrities that they are in the public eye as much as they are and I am totally guilty of reading celebrity blogs and watching any celebrity news, but at the same time, I feel like it is a price they pay. They can afford anything in the world, and the biggest problem they have is that people want to take their pictures. In this case, I think that Bruni should win because they are exploiting her image for their own gain. But, some may consider that the ultimate compliment...
