Nigella's husband cracks obesity thanks to egg-only diet
With a domestic goddess in the kitchen, Charles Saatchi's diet options are likely to
stretch further than those of most.
Yet in a drastic attempt to lose weight, the husband of Nigella Lawson restricted himself to a diet of nine eggs a dayand absolutely nothing else.
It worked, and the advertising tycoon and art collector managed to shed an impressive four stone in nine months.
Miss Lawson, 48, said her husband's 'completely mad eggs, eggs and more eggs diet' had made him thinner than her.
'For nine months, he ate three eggs for breakfast, three eggs for lunch and three eggs for supper,' she revealed.
'The doctor said to me, "It's neck and neck whether Charles keels over or loses the weight first". read more...

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the first lady of France, sat down for an intimate conversation with Barbara Walters, during which they discussed everything from adultery to the first lady's career in the music industry.
...Bruni-Sarkozy on Being a First Lady and an Artist:
WALTERS: This is your third album. How do you expect people to be able to listen to your music and separate the artist from the wife of the President?
BRUNI-SARKOZY: It's very hard to separate both parts. And I don't expect people to separate them because I believe that it's impossible. What I hope is that if people like it, they like it; and if they don't like it, it doesn't have much to do with my husband, but much more to do with my music.
WALTERS: Do you want this album to preserve your own identity?
BRUNI-SARKOZY: Yes, I think it's, it's, the album was, symbolic for me of my identity. I hoped that, you know, France wouldn't mind about, you know, the wife of their President to having a job.
WALTERS: But you write about orgies and lovers
BRUNI-SARKOZY: I write about passion.
WALTERS: OK.
WALTERS: Now, much of your album was written before you met your husband, but
BRUNI-SARKOZY: [LAUGHS]
WALTERS: & this has been very controversial, one of your songs. OK, "You are my junk. More deadly than Afghan heroin. More dangerous than Colombian white powder." OK now, who are you writing about?
BRUNI-SARKOZY: I'm writing about, it's not exactly me, and it's not about -- exactly someone. I'm writing about &when love is so passionate that it can be destructive, just like drugs. read more...
