<p>LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA &#8211; Singer John Mayer is giving true meaning to the text messaging term T.M.I. (too much information) as his recent interview with Playboy magazine hit the internet today, exposing his love for porn, his penis being a white supremacist and how sex with Jessica Simpson is like being on crack cocaine.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Your Body Is A Wonderland&#8221; singer also discussed his love for actress Jennifer Aniston, how he enjoys teen sensation Miley Cyrus&#8217; music and how he gets a &#8216;hood pass&#8217; from African Americans.</p>
<p>Known for his off-color sense of humor, Mayer&#8217;s Lagavulin scotch-infused conversation with Playboy contributing editor Rob Tannebaum has already sparked controversy on the internet -including his beloved rant-platform Twitter where he has 3 million followers- leading many to question if the 32-year-old singer is racist. (Or maybe he shouldn&#8217;t talk while drinking?) <span id="more-9408"></span></p>
<p>Here are a few excerpts (WARNING: Some of the material isn&#8217;t suitable for readers under 18)</p>
<p><strong>On his love of porn: </strong><br />
When I watch porn, if it&#8217;s not hot enough, I&#8217;ll make up backstories in my mind. My biggest dream is to write pornography.</p>
<p><strong>On Jennifer Aniston:</strong><br />
We just have a regard for each other&#8217;s feelings that is pretty intense. It&#8217;s been a deep relationship, and it&#8217;s no longer taking place at all. Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons? &#8230; I&#8217;ll always be sorry that it didn&#8217;t last. In some ways I wish I could be with her. But I can&#8217;t change the fact that I need to be 32.</p>
<p><strong>On his relationship with Jessica Simpson:</strong><br />
That girl, for me, is a drug. And drugs aren&#8217;t good for you if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me&#8230; Sexually it was crazy. That&#8217;s all I&#8217;ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm&#8230; There are people in the world who have the power to change our values. Have you ever been with a girl who made you want to quit the rest of your life? Did you ever say, &#8220;I want to quit my life and just f*ckin&#8217; snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f*ck you, I would start selling all my sh*t just to keep f*cking you.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>PLAYBOY:</strong> Do black women throw themselves at you?<br />
<strong><br />
MAYER: </strong>I don’t think I open myself to it. My d*ck is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a f*ckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my d*ck.<br />
<strong><br />
PLAYBOY:</strong> Let’s put some names out there. Let’s get specific.</p>
<p><strong>MAYER</strong>: I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, “Yeah, I sucked his d*ck. Whatever.” And you’d be like, “What? We weren’t talking about that.” That’s what “Heartbreak Warfare” is all about, when a girl uses jealousy as a tactic. </p>

Picture: Stuart Milligan </p></div>SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA &#8211; A HIGH-FLYING Sydney banker who stole $7 million from his employer allegedly spent much of the cash on prostitutes, showering them with lavish gifts.</p>
<p>Sung Kyu Chung, 41, gave evidence in Sydney District Court last week where he has pleaded guilty to fraud charges.</p>
<p>The senior manager, who worked in the Korea Exchange Bank&#8217;s Sydney office, was charged in December, 2008 by City Central Fraud Unit detectives. <span id="more-9385"></span></p>
<p>Chung faced a preliminary sentence hearing last week. He is due to be sentenced later this month.</p>
<p>The court heard he regularly splashed out on business-class flights to Thailand, where he would visit high-priced prostitutes and stay in five-star hotel rooms.</p>
<p>Prosecutors questioned Chung over alleged &#8220;gifts&#8221; he bought for the escorts. These included a Mercedes-Benz sedan given to a Thai prostitute and money transferred to another Bangkok call-girl to buy a house.</p>
<p>Chung pleaded guilty to siphoning a total of $7.2 million from the bank by staging at least 77 false transactions.</p>
<p>The court heard he used $1 million of the plundered funds on education and medical fees.</p>
<p>A further $1.1 million was used to buy a house in Marsfield, which has been seized, while $500,000 was lost on a bad investment with Lehman Brothers, the US investment bank which collapsed in the global financial crisis.</p>
<p>A significant amount of the missing money has yet to be recovered.</p>
<p>The seven-year fraud was uncovered in 2005 when Chung was subjected to a blackmailing attempt by a former colleague, the court heard.</p>
<p>In 2008, auditors from KPMG discovered massive discrepancies in the bank&#8217;s finances.</p>
<p>The court heard that between 2001 and 2008, Chung routinely used the log-in names and passwords of bank clients to send money to his own account.</p>
<p>When the transfers were complete, he fudged computer and accounting records to mask the transactions as having been carried out from overseas, confusing his bank superiors.</p>
<p>He has been allowed conditional bail while he awaits sentencing. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Results from the Great American Sex Survey deemed disappointing.</h4>
<p><a href="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/117264_r3.jpg" rel="lightbox[9369]"><img src="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/117264_r3.jpg" alt="" title="117264_r3" width="240" height="160" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-9370" /></a>UNITED STATES &#8211; <a target="_blank"href="http://www.adameve.com/">Adam &#038; Eve</a> is releasing more of the statistics from its Great American Sex Survey this week, and the results are&#8230; well, not all that sexy.</p>
<p>The 40 year-old sex toy company and adult industry leader surveyed 1,000 American adults to inquire about intimate acts and has been dribbling out the results bit by bit. Today&#8217;s leaked stat: In response to the question &#8220;How often are you having sex?&#8221; 33 percent of respondents report having sex once or twice a week, and 22 percent report only having sex one to three times a month. The next highest group (19 percent) report having sex three to four times a week – that&#8217;s more like it – but another 17 percent answered &#8220;seldom&#8221; or &#8220;never.&#8221; <span id="more-9369"></span></p>
<p>My fellow Americans, I submit to you that this is a recessionary slump we can and must do something about.</p>
<p>Via PRNewswire:</p>
<blockquote><p>
    HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; Sexual curiosity is a part of human nature. Because we all want to know how we compare to others sexually, Adam &#038; Eve asked over 1,000 American adults a number of questions about their most intimate acts&#8230; and the results may surprise you!</p>
<p>    &#8220;This news is a bit disappointing to us,&#8221; said Adam &#038; Eve Director of Public Relations Katy Zvolerin. &#8220;Studies have shown that a healthy sex life can lower blood pressure and improve overall health. At Adam &#038; Eve, we encourage a sex positive relationship between loving, consensual adults.&#8221;</p>
<p>    The third highest level of respondents (19%) reported they had sex three to four times a week, and the next highest group (17%) said they had sex &#8220;seldom&#8221; or &#8220;never.&#8221; Only 4.8% of the adults surveyed said they enjoyed sex five to six times a week. And around 3% said they had sex once or more than once a day.</p>
<p>    Because sexual curiosity is part of human nature, adult entertainment giant Adam &#038; Eve recently commissioned event management and web survey software company Cvent Inc. to launch a sex survey determining Americans&#8217; sexual practices, and the results are being released every month.</p>
<p>    The web-based survey, conducted by Cvent, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam &#038; Eve to study sexual preferences and practices. For more information about Adam &#038; Eve, visit their website at <a target="_blank"href="http://www.adamandeve.com/news">http://www.adamandeve.com/news</a>.</p></blockquote>

<p>She feels the spoof product promotes violence against women.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve come forward today because I feel it is wrong for a golf ball to have my picture on it,&#8221; she told television station KSBW. &#8220;As a victim of violence myself, it bothered me to think that someone would be standing with a dangerous club in their hands and hitting a ball with my face on it.&#8221;

The &#8220;Tail Of The Tiger Golf Ball Gift Set&#8221; features a dozen golf balls, each showcasing the name and image of one woman linked to the married championship golfer.</p>
<p>So far the idea is a hit, according to creator Mike Caldwell, who told the New York Daily News he sold $45,000 worth in one day.</p>
<p>James, 32, whose real name is Veronica Siwik-Daniels, has appeared in adult movies such as Porn Star Brides.</p>
<p>As previously reported on Crimesider, she has also struggled with the law.</p>
<p>Siwik-Daniels is wanted in Washington State for unpaid child support that totals more than $12,000, according to Washington State’s Department of Social and Health Services Most Wanted List. </p>

<p>The anonymous 19-year-old student offered her virginity to the highest bidder on the Web site under the name “Unigirl,” saying she would use the money to pay for her tuition. She said in a post that more than 30,000 people had viewed her ad and more than 1,200 had made bids before she accepted an offer of more than New Zealand $45,000 (US$32,000). <span id="more-9352"></span></p>
<p>Unlike similar New Zealand Web sites, bidding and correspondence between buyers and sellers on the Web site is private so it is not known what bids Unigirl’s offer received.</p>
<p>Web site owner Ross McKenzie said the site’s policy was that as long as an ad was legal and did not offend the general standards of society, “it was OK.” He confirmed Unigirl was a member on the site.</p>
<p>Prostitution is legal in New Zealand under laws considered more liberal than many countries.</p>
<p>Prostitution among consenting adults is allowed in brothels and on the streets, and offering sexual services in print ads and online is also legal.</p>
<p>National police spokesman Jon Neilson said no law appeared to have been breached.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA &#8211; <a href="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ALO-0806792.jpg" rel="lightbox[9313]"><img src="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ALO-0806792-181x300.jpg" alt="" title="ALO-0806792" width="181" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-9314" /></a>According to Ian Halperin, author of the recent bestseller Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the Tomb Raider star might have cheated on partner Brad Pitt with Love Game singer Lady GaGa.</p>
<p>Jolie — who is openly bisexual — and GaGa — a rumored hermaphrodite — had a secret rendez vous at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel that lasted all night, Halperin alleges.</p>
<p>“Angie is obsessed with Lady Gaga,” a source said.</p>
<p>It’s not the first time Jolie has been accused of cheating on Pitt. <span id="more-9313"></span></p>
<p>Earlier this week, In Touch Weekly magazine spoke to Anna Kowalski — a housekeeper who worked extensively with the family on their numerous visits to the Waldorf-Astoria in New York — who claimed Angelina had a series of steamy sex sessions with one of the dialect coaches she worked with on the set of her movie Salt.</p>
<p>Kowalski claimed she walked into Jolie’s room and saw Jolie’s bed strewn with sex toys.</p>
<p>“The room was a disaster,” Anna revealed. “There was water all over the bathroom and empty vodka bottles everywhere. Every towel had been used. And over five dozen cattleya orchids were scattered around the room, and there were the tops of the flowers in the tub, with candles.</p>
<p>“The bed was covered with black rubber sheets, and there were sex toys on it.”</p>

Photos / Simon Baker, supplied</p></div>CHRISTCHURCH, NEW ZEALAND &#8211; A man who has admitted murdering two women and burying their bodies beneath his house had sex with both victims after killing them.</p>
<p>In Christchurch District Court this morning, Jason Paul Somerville, 33, admitted killing his wife Rebecca Chamberlain, 35, and neighbour Tisha Lowry, 28.</p>
<p>Police found the women&#8217;s bodies under Somerville&#8217;s Wainoni house in early September. Tisha Lowry was murdered in September 2008 after she disappeared while walking home. Rebecca Chamberlain was killed on August 30, 2009. <span id="more-9177"></span></p>
<p>The summary of facts in the case says that Ms Lowry knew Somerville and went to his home between 10.50am and 12.30pm on Thursday September 25, 2008.</p>
<p>This was two houses from where Ms Lowry was living with her grandfather.</p>
<p>Ms Lowry had previously been to the home of Somerville and his wife, Rebecca Chamberlain.</p>
<p>Police say Somerville was home alone and answered a knock on his front door.</p>
<p>He opened the door to find Ms Lowry standing there and invited her inside.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once inside the address a struggle has taken place, [Somerville] grabbed Tisha around her throat with his hands.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ms Lowry struggled with Somerville, kicking and punching him, but he tightened his stranglehold.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Somerville] increased the pressure of the strangle to a point where the victim was no longer resisting and had lost consciousness. [Somerville] continued to squeeze her throat until he was certain she was no longer breathing,&#8221; the summary of facts states.</p>
<p>He then forced a pair of his wife&#8217;s underpants into Ms Lowry&#8217;s throat, before removing her jeans and underwear and having sex with her.</p>
<p>Somerville was due to attend a meeting early that afternoon. Being short on time, he left the body of Ms Lowry lying on the floor of the cupboard under the stairs of his house.</p>
<p>He returned about an hour later with the knowledge that his wife was shortly due home. He removed the manhole cover on the floor of the stairwell cupboard, which led beneath the house.</p>
<p>Somerville dragged Ms Lowry&#8217;s body and lowered her through the manhole and left her lying semi-naked under the house before putting the cover back over the manhole and cleaning the house in anticipation of his wife&#8217;s return.</p>
<p>Ms Chamberlain returned to the home about 3pm that day and had no knowledge of what had taken place in her absence.</p>
<p>The following morning Ms Chamberlain left the house to attend a meeting, which Somerville knew would keep her away from the house for the majority of the day.</p>
<p>&#8220;[Somerville] has gone beneath the house and removed the remainder of the clothing worn by the victim. He again sexually violated her body by having sexual intercourse with her,&#8221; the summary of facts states.</p>
<p>&#8220;He then dug a shallow grave near where she lay and buried her body along with the clothing that she had been wearing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ms Lowry was reported missing by family on September 28, 2008. A police investigation began and Somerville was spoken to on October 5, 2008, as part of routine inquiries in the area.</p>
<p>Somerville told police that he and his wife would often see Ms Lowry on the bus and about four weeks earlier she had knocked on their front door asking for another person.</p>
<p>Somerville also said that Ms Lowry came inside his house and they talked about the real estate agents that he was using to sell the property.</p>
<p>Somerville told police Ms Lowry had walked around his house and that he originally had assumed she was going to use the toilet.</p>
<p>He said after a short time he found her in their bedroom looking through the wardrobe and that he then asked her to leave.</p>
<p>The summary of facts says that about 9.30am on Sunday August 30, 2009, Somerville woke and attempted to have sex with his wife in their upstairs bedroom.</p>
<p>&#8220;She has not welcomed his sexual advances and has repeatedly said no to him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Somerville then went downstairs to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee before returning to the bedroom and trying again to have sex with his wife.</p>
<p>She has again refused and this angered Somerville. He placed his arm around her neck in a headlock fashion and tightened his grip, compressing her airway.</p>
<p>Once she was unconscious, Somerville felt for a pulse, but found none.</p>
<p>Somerville then placed his fingers on top of vital arteries and applied firm downward pressure to ensure there was no chance of his wife regaining consciousness.</p>
<p>He then took a pair of underpants and stuffed them into his wife&#8217;s throat.</p>
<p>&#8220;Once he established that the victim was no longer alive he proceeded to have sexual intercourse with her,&#8221; the statement continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;He dragged her body out of the bedroom, along the hallway, down the flight of stairs, where he forced her through the manhole in the stairwell cupboard and buried her body in the sand underneath the floorboards.&#8221;</p>
<p>About 2.15pm on Sunday August 30, 2009, Somerville phoned the Christchurch police and told them his wife was missing.</p>
<p>He told police she had left the house about 10.30am that day to go to church.</p>
<p>He said that she left without her house keys, which he felt was out of character and that her handbag, cellphone and bank cards were also left at home.</p>
<p>Somerville told police that his wife was a recovering alcoholic who was on medication for depression and that she had previously tried to harm herself after drinking.</p>
<p>On September 2, 2009, police spoke with Somerville again and established that his wife had still not returned or made contact with him.</p>
<p>The following day, Somerville went into the New Brighton police station and told police that he had discovered his wife&#8217;s prescription glasses and wedding ring in their letterbox at his house where they must have been placed overnight.</p>
<p>When interviewed further, Somerville admitted that he had killed his wife and Ms Lowry.</p>
<p>In explanation, Somerville said he had become angry with Ms Lowry and killed her. He also stated that he killed his wife because he felt deep anger at being rejected for sex by her.</p>
<p>Judge Noble remanded Somerville &#8211; listed as unemployed &#8211; in custody until November 27 for a pre-sentence report.</p>
<p>The Crown said the issue of preventive detention may arise at sentencing and it is likely to call for reports on the psychiatric state of the accused.</p>
<p>Somerville&#8217;s only previous appearance before the court was on a traffic related matter.</p>
<p>His house has been the subject of repeated arson attacks since the discovery of the women&#8217;s bodies.</p>

<p>Marc Lecuyer, 31, entered his guilty plea through a sign-language interpreter.</p>
<p>The chubby man, clad in a baggy lumberjack shirt, watched the interpreter intently as the court heard that on Feb. 24, he followed a woman he knew into the laundry room of an apartment complex. He was captured on a surveillance camera wearing only boxer shorts. His penis was hanging out. He pointed at it while making grunting noises and humping motions with his hips. The victim put up her hand, shook her head and yelled &#8220;no.&#8221; <span id="more-9061"></span></p>
<p>Lecuyer put up his hands but when the victim turned around to put her laundry in the machine, he grabbed her crotch from behind and rubbed her through her clothes.</p>
<p>The victim spun around and pushed him away, yelling &#8220;no&#8221; again. Lecuyer left.</p>
<p>He then pushed letters under the woman&#8217;s door.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dear you,&#8221; he wrote in block letters, before telling her that he was sorry and not to call police. He then wrote in crude terms the sexual acts he wanted to perform on her.</p>
<p>The accused wrote in another letter to a social worker that he was frustrated because he had no money, no girlfriend, was suffering from scabies and didn&#8217;t like where he lived.</p>
<p>The court has heard Lecuyer was not taking his medication for an unspecified psychiatric illness. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Oprah Winfrey sued for £200,000 by former employee she accused of having sex with pilot on $42million private jet<br />
</h4>
<p><div id="attachment_9030" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 295px"><img src="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/article-1219611-06A79598000005DC-596_468x491-285x300.jpg" alt="I saw you... in my dreams" title="EFG10402" width="285" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-9030" /><p class="wp-caption-text">I saw you... in my dreams</p></div>CHICAGO, ILLINOIS &#8211; Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey is being sued for more than £200,000 over allegations of sex romp on her private jet.</p>
<p>A former flight attendant claims she was sacked after falsely being accused of having sex with a pilot while the billionaire star dozed nearby.</p>
<p>Corinne Gehrls, 39, insists the story of her sleeping with the pilot during a fuelling stopover in the US was false.</p>
<p>She claims another flight attendant &#8211; who happens to be Winfrey&#8217;s goddaughter -made up the story in a dispute over work. <span id="more-9029"></span></p>
<p>Gehrls and chief pilot Terry Pansing,57, were fired in July after the allegations of the &#8220;mile high&#8221; sex were made.</p>
<p>A lawsuit filed in Chicago revealed that the couple both later passed a lie detector test when asked about he onboard sex.</p>
<p>Gehrls claims Winfrey knew the sex allegations were &#8220;obviously false&#8221; as the plane was on the ground refuelling when the incident was said to have taken place.</p>
<p>The flight attendant said Winfrey and other passengers were &#8220;dozing&#8221; in their seats having taken sleeping pills for the flight.</p>
<p>She said Kirby Bumpus, the daughter of Winfrey&#8217;s best friend Gayle King and Oprah&#8217;s goddaughter, was among those who made up the sex claims.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_9031" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 219px"><img src="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/article-1219611-06C914EF000005DC-224_235x336-209x300.jpg" alt="Unuitilized bench seat in Oprah-like plane" title="B2P52P" width="209" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-9031" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Unuitilized bench seat in Oprah-like plane</p></div>Another flight attendant Myron Gooch also made the same allegations.</p>
<p>The lawsuit alleges that Gooch made the accusations after Gehrls and Pansing complained that he refused to work as scheduled, asked for his hours to be changed so he could &#8216;attend to his cats&#8217;, and insisted on staying in better hotels than the rest of the crew.</p>
<p>A spokesman for Winfrey and her Chicago based production company Harpo refused to comment.</p>
<p>The lawsuit seeks damages from Gooch, Bumpy and Harp Productions.</p>
<p>As one of America&#8217;s richest women with an estimated £25bn fortune Winfrey has a £27m Bombardier luxury jet which she uses to fly between her properties in Chicago and Montecito, California.</p>
<p>Earlier this year she spoke about her custom made Global Express XRS jet, saying: &#8216;It&#8217;s great to have a private jet. Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn&#8217;t great is lying to you.&#8217;</p>
<p>Winfrey, the most powerful woman in television, recently joined First Lady Michelle Obama in bidding to win the 2016 Olympics for Chicago.</p>
<p>She joined the Obamas in Copenhagen for the result which saw Rio De Janiera be awarded the games after London 2012.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The influence of France’s first lady has halted the sacking of a minister – but for how long</h4>
<p><div id="attachment_9020" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 164px"><img src="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/STR-bruni_sarkozy_454264a-154x300.jpg" alt="Nicolas Sarkozy, right, appears eager not to take actions that offend his wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy" title="STR-bruni_sarkozy_454264a" width="154" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-9020" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Nicolas Sarkozy, right, appears eager not to take actions that offend his wife, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy</p></div>PARIS, FRANCE &#8211; The reluctance of Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, to sack a gay minister with a past as a “sex tourist” in Thailand will certainly please Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, his wife.</p>
<p>She had suggested appointing Frédéric Mitterrand, a friend, as culture minister and the government’s support for him, despite his confession to having paid boys for sex, is partly a sign of Sarkozy’s eagerness not to offend his first lady.</p>
<p>“She has great power and influence,” said Joëlle Garriaud-Maylam, a senator in Sarkozy’s centre-right party, referring to the Italian-born singer and former model. “It’s obvious she is defending Mitterrand. But it puts the president in a difficult situation. He is offending many of his supporters.”</p>
<p>L’affaire Mitterrand began when the nephew of the last Socialist president flew to the defence of Roman Polanski, the Polish film director, over child sex charges, only to face such accusations himself in connection with a memoir published in 2005. <span id="more-9019"></span></p>
<p>Yesterday it emerged that he had also offered to help rehabilitate two teenage brothers convicted earlier this year of raping a 16-year-old girl on the Indian Ocean island of La Réunion. One was the son of his make-up artist when he worked as a television presenter. He may bitterly regret having written “I got into the habit of paying for boys” in his book, The Bad Life.</p>
<p>The reaction when passages were read out on television last week not only laid bare Bruni-Sarkozy’s clout in the court of “King Sarko”; it also highlighted the chasm between the French and the Anglo-Saxons.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_9021" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 195px"><img src="http://nakedcircus.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Mitterrand_185x295_625161a.jpg" alt="Frédéric Mitterrand admitted paying Thai boys for sex in his book, The Bad Life" title="Mitterrand_185x295_625161a" width="185" height="295" class="size-full wp-image-9021" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Frédéric Mitterrand admitted paying Thai boys for sex in his book, The Bad Life</p></div>In Britain it would be unthinkable for anyone known to have paid boys for sex to land a minister’s job. France takes a more tolerant view and Mitterrand has been allowed to keep his job, protesting that he had sex with consenting adults rather than the “kids” he described in his book. He is not the only one to have benefited from the country’s indulgence of aesthetes and thinkers.</p>
<p>From Louis Althusser, the French Marxist philosopher who strangled his wife in 1980 but avoided prison, to Cesare Battisti, the Italian writer who was convicted in Italy on terrorism charges but who went on to become a literary star in Paris, the French have often applied different criteria to intellectuals and artists.</p>
<p>The public’s patience may be wearing thin, however, and there are signs that Sarkozy may end up paying dearly.</p>
<p>Already the scandal has prompted grumbling among his allies over Bruni-Sarkozy’s role and what had, until now, been regarded as a brilliant presidential strategy to undermine the Socialist opposition by offering top jobs to its heroes and to openly gay politicians or members of racial minorities.</p>
<p>The pursuit of diversity appeared to founder this year when Sarkozy sacked Rachida Dati, the first Arab minister and icon of diversity, after complaints of incompetence.</p>
<p>Appointing a Mitterrand to such a high-profile job was just as courageous for a president who had promised “rupture” with the bad old ways of the past. Mitterrand, 62, claimed he had asked Sarkozy if he thought the book would be “an obstacle”. The president had replied: “Not at all. I’ve read it. It’s a very good book.”</p>
<p>He may not think quite so highly of it today. According to a poll conducted last week his approval rating has dropped by five points to 41% in a month. The largest fall (16%) was among the over 65-year-olds, the conservative voters Sarkozy relied on to win power in 2007.</p>
<p>He hopes, no doubt, that the fuss will soon fade but this seems unlikely. Inaugurating an art exhibition in Bordeaux yesterday, Mitterrand was jeered by protesters with prams and posters saying, “Don’t touch our children.” Only a quarter of viewers found Mitterrand convincing as he responded with indignation and anger to a grilling by a female interviewer on television on Thursday about his activities in the brothels of Thailand.</p>
<p>When asked how he was sure he had never paid for sex with a minor, the minister prompted scepticism by replying that he could distinguish between a youth and a “40-year-old boxer”.</p>
<p>Calling for his resignation, Marine Le Pen, head of the far-right National Front, quoted a paragraph in which he wrote: “The abundance of very attractive and immediately available young boys put me in a state of desire.”</p>
<p>The book was critically acclaimed in its day and Mitterrand, a gentle soul who often rides a scooter to work and has never hidden his homosexuality, was praised for his honesty.</p>
<p>It exploded in his face only because he had stirred anger by rushing to the defence of Polanski, who is fighting extradition from Switzerland to the United States, from where he fled after admitting a sex offence with a girl of 13 in 1977.</p>
<p>Mitterrand was not the only French minister to express outrage at the arrest of Polanski. Bernard Kouchner, the foreign minister, said the director had committed nothing more than a “youthful error”. Various pillars of the cultural elite signed a petition calling for his release.</p>
<p>“Being an artist or intellectual is considered a privilege in France,” explained Christian Viviani, a French film professor, suggesting that prominent French artists and intellectuals believe their work allows them some moral leeway. Politicians seem more than happy to indulge that belief: Jack Lang, a culture minister appointed by President François Mitterrand, was one of the most outspoken supporters of Bertrand Cantat, a French rock star who bludgeoned his girlfriend, the actress Marie Trintignant, to death in a hotel room in Lithuania in 2003. He was released from jail in 2007 after serving only half his eight-year sentence.</p>
<p>Bruni-Sarkozy, for her part, managed to persuade her husband last year not to send Marina Petrella back to Italy where she is wanted on murder and terrorism charges.</p>
<p>The public appears to have little sympathy for Polanski: in one poll more than 70% said the film maker should face justice. Many letter writers have also condemned his defenders, especially after reminders of the contents of Mitterrand’s book.</p>
<p>From André Gide’s accounts of sex with young boys in Algeria in the 1920s to Michel Houellebecq’s novels, the subject of sexual tourism has often stirred controversy in France and is decried by the government. Except, it seems, when a minister is involved.</p>
<p>It emerged that Sarkozy himself was co-ordinating the defence of “Frédo”, as he is known to friends, advising him to “defend his honour” before the French people.</p>
<p>The government’s decision to rally around Mitterrand seemed to be based partly on the idea that his private life was being intruded upon, even if he had invited such scrutiny with his book.</p>
<p>The right to a private life has long been regarded as sacred by French politicians. A compliant press has seldom dared to puncture the taboo but in an age of instant communication and internet competition the ramparts are crumbling.</p>
<p>The French press showed little appetite for the Mitterrand story until film of Le Pen reading extracts from the book on various internet websites made it impossible to ignore.</p>
<p>For the Establishment it is a frightening revolution. “Do we really want a totally transparent society?” asked Laurent Joffrin, editor of Libération, the left-wing newspaper. “Do we really want a society of inquisition?”</p>
<p>For Garriaud-Maylam, a more basic principle is at stake. “I feel that ministers should set a good example,” she said. “Unfortunately, that is not the case here — far from it.”</p>
<p>Rise of Bruni’ s left-leaning friends</p>
<p>The embattled French culture minister, Frédéric Mitterrand, is one of several left-leaning friends of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the first lady, to have been drafted into the service of Nicolas Sarkozy.</p>
<p>An informal “kitchen cabinet” of left-wing advisers around the French president includes Raphaël Enthoven, one of her former lovers, and Marin Karmitz, a film producer and former Maoist who works with Mitterrand as a “cultural adviser”.</p>
<p>Enthoven, a philosophy professor, is the father of Aurélien, Bruni-Sarkozy’s eight-year-old son. In spite of their separation the two have remained friends and talk on the telephone most days. He is a regular guest at the Sakozys’ dining table.</p>
<p>Bruni-Sarkozy’s ability to attract such figures to the camp of Sarkozy, who was once reviled by the Parisian elite as uncultured, is a result of fratricidal bickering in the moribund Socialist party. Enthoven has torn up his membership card in disgust.</p>
<p>Karmitz, who often joins the first couple for cocktails, likes to say: “It is not me that has changed. It’s the left.”</p>
<p>The French media have christened these champagne Socialist deserters la gauche Carla – a variation of the “caviar left”. They are united in their disenchantment with the Socialists, who are unlikely to return to power, and admiration for the dynamic Sarkozy.</p>
<p>Bruni-Sarkozy’s influence extends well beyond the choice of advisers and ministers. Sarkozy has also taken to reading books and has shed weight under a strict regime of dieting and exercise, which was blamed for an illness he suffered while jogging in the summer.</p>
