In bed with journalists.

There's the metaphorical bedding down, as in David Cameron's "LOL"-ridden relationship with Rebekah Brooks and the rest of the Murdoch empire.  Cameron admits that well, yes, perhaps people in his Culture Ministry shouldn't have been working behind the scenes to approve NewsCorp's BSkyB, even as the ministry was supposedly acting as impartial arbiter over the legality of the deal.  The appropriately named Adam Smith, working as the "invisible hand" pushing things along, is the only resignation so far. http://tinyurl.com/bwhzayt



Trierweiler and Hollande began their affair in 2005 but did not announce
it publicly until 2010.

And then there's the "in bed," as in the actual bed that Francoise Hollande is going to share in the Elysee Palace with his journalist lover, Valerie Trierweiler.  Trierweiler and Hollande began their affair in 2005, while he was still with his former live-in love, Segolene Royal, the Socialist politician who ran unsuccessfully against Sarkozy in 2007, is the mother of Hollande's four children, and isn't exactly a slouch in the glamour department either.  Today's New York Times article about Trierweiler notes that she and Hollande will be the first unmarried couple to occupy the Palace (although Germany's new president, Joachim Guack has beaten them to the Euro-punch with his own live-in love, also a journalist.)  It's all very fresh and new, except when you consider that Trierweiler is  only 2 years older than Carla Bruni, and 12 years younger than Royal.  When it comes to changing partners for a man, French or otherwise, it's a little hard not to believe plus ca change.  Here's the link to the writeup:     http://tinyurl.com/7czfkew
