Cecilia Ciganer-Albeniz, former wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, won 30,000 euros in damages after suing a French magazine that printed pictures of her in a swimsuit alongside photos of a similarly-draped Carla Bruni, Sarkozy's special new lady.

When Cecilia ditched Sarkozy few weeks into his presidency he was heartbroken, until he found Bruni to lick his wounds. The two have since been involved in a cliche whirlwind romance that even the French public seems to be getting tired of hearing about. Luckily, there was that minor bank fraud fracas last week to give the Frenchies something else to ponder over their plates of garlic-dipped mollusks.

Cecilia also lashed out at her ex in a new book, calling him "ridiculous, badly behaved, and not fit to be president," adding that the women in his life are just a "bunch of slappers," pardon her French.

Like his former wife, Sarkozy isn't afraid to take legal action. Ryanair, a budget euro airline, recently ran advertisements featuring him with Bruni, jokingly daydreaming of her wedding. The president was apparently unamused. "It's an abusive use of the president's image, and so the president has given instruction to his counsel so that this case receives the necessary legal action," said a spokesman in Sarkozy's office.
