>> Carla Bruni has not personally confirmed that she is pregnant — although her father-in-law says she is, and a bump appeared visible when she stepped out last week. Now, Jacques Seguela, the advertising tycoon who brought Bruni and her husband Nicolas Sarkozy together at a dinner party in 2007, has told Belgian newspaper Le Soir: "I have it on good authority that the baby will a boy." Seguela has in the past spoken in public about the couple's private lives, giving a blow-by-blow account of how they met — he described the scene as "unexpected game of seduction between two wild beasts."
