Gordon Ramsay weathered the disdain of French critics today, emerging as one of the winners in the 100th edition of the Michelin Red Guide, the bible of gastronomy.
Ramsay, 42, was given two stars for his first French restaurant, Gordon Ramsay au Trianon, at Versailles, which opened a year ago. This makes him the first British chef to be awarded deux macarons on Michelin's home soil in the 109 years since the guide was first published.
"Seraphine," a biopic about French painter Seraphine de Senlis, swept the Cesar Awards, winning seven, including best picture, screenplay, costumes, sound, photography, décor and lead actress (Yolande Moreau). Previously, Moreau won the same award for "When the Sea Rises" (2004), which she also directed.
Accepting the best-picture prize at France's equivalent to the Oscars, director Martin Provost said, "I would like to thank Seraphine, who disappeared during the 1930s Depression but apparently is getting her luck back from this crisis."

The search also brings up pages related to the European Union. Accordingly, the […]

Jean-Paul Belmondo uses a metal crutch and drags his right leg when he walks. His upper body tilts to the left when he moves. He speaks in short sentences, sometimes slurring his words. His right arm sits lifeless by his side.
If this keeps up, I'm going to have to rename my blog.
I cannot deny that the picture above represents one of the most beautiful sights in the world.
