Miss is the most beautiful response to the apocalyptic A Time to November 2007, proclaiming the death of French culture: a look that goes in a flash of deep blue gray storm, a voracious mouth that seems designed to be painted blood (dixit a makeup Chief walker), a banter not deny that some singer with the voice of gold born on the pavement of Belleville, a talent which detailed borders and accumulated honors (hold your breath, the list is long): a Golden Globe in Hollywood, a Bafta in London on Cesar for best actress in Paris, and this crazy coronation, historical, Feb. 24, at the Oscars, which climbed to the rank of Simone Signoret, victorious in 1960 for Les Chemins de la haute ville.

All that for a daughter of actors born there thirty-two years and came to fame in 1998 aboard the Taxi slightly poussif Gérard Pirès. We take great tunes unless this, but something tells us that sheathes then, Cotillard does not sing. "Too bosseuse", as describes itself former first prize at the Conservatoire d'Orléans. Too nature, and not simply because it neglects the makeup and joined Greenpeace well before the cause ecological takes its BlackBerry Hollywood stars. That was in 2001. The actress through one of these periods that accompany any doubt destiny as an artist. "She wondered if she was not going to completely change business and wanted to meet us. We found a very determined young woman, very independent, and absolutely sincere in its commitment, "recalls one within the organization. A "antistar much more focused on action than on ideology, and language as green as its beauty products," says Yannick Vicar, head of the toxics campaign, which was launched in 2003 to educate the public about the presence of hazardous substances in household dust. For the occasion, the heroine of Pretty Things had opened the door of his apartment on the Place de la République and past the vacuum cleaner on its soil coconut fibre. It was far from the red carpet of the Kodak Theatre on Oscars ...

All the journalists who cross agree. His relatives confirmed with a smile tinged with affection: Marion Cotillard a beautiful among the most attractive actresses of her generation, it is a subject with which she was not joking, but then not at all: saving the planet. "She became hysterical when she saw someone throw a paper on the streets. She is the person best actor and actress least that I know, "said Melanie Lawrence, who gave him a replica in Dikkenek, in 2006. Even sympathetic dichotomy in the interview: when so many others take the laying blasé or mysterious and seem to constantly watch their shows, Marion tutoie outset, speaks with passion of his roles, his passion for the cello or sometimes it organises karaoke in the evening at home. The atmosphere is that of a chat between friends. But a stunned fails to turn off the lights and starting so far s'emporte by treating "unconscious". "I am in permanent conflict with myself, it told us last year. Like all women, I love to wear pretty dresses. My first thought, when I bought one is to check the label to see where it was manufactured. When I yield to the temptation, I feel guilt that often exceeds the pleasure of purchase. Let's say that I try to pay attention to my scale. "

Historical Record attendance for "Welcome to the ch'tis"

Historical Record attendance for "Welcome to the ch'tis"
Record absolute rush in cinemas French for "Welcome to the chtis" comedy produced by Dany Boon. After a week of operations in France, the film saves nearly 4.5 million admissions.

The North recipe made at the beginning of 2008. Cinématographiquement speaking at least. "Welcome to the ch'tis" may well reach, or even exceed, the most successful box-office french. According to its distributor Pathe, nearly 4.5 million fans have already rués in French cinemas to see, after just one week of operation (from 27 February to 4 March). A total of entries even reach 5 million by counting the estimated 555,392 entries made in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais and the Somme, where the film requires marketing operation, was released a week before everyone else.

Because it is the people and the North, which are the "heroes" of "Welcome to the ch'tis", and through the history of a staff member at the Post, played by Kad Merad, moved to Salon - de-Provence in the south of France, tourism, a small town in the North ... Thanks to the talents of comedians Dany Boon, also from the region, this column turns into comedy and twists the neck with negative stereotypes: cold, wet and strange language, "ch'timi." It was important for Dany Boon give reason to proverb: an outsider who comes in the North cry twice, when he arrives and when he leaves.

And for the moment, the least we can say is that the recipe works. And Henri Demoulin, director of distribution at Pathé north has even stressed to AFP that this was an "all-time record" for a movie. More surprising still, the old records have been achieved so far in the first week of returning to operating suites such as "Les Bronzés 3", released on 1 February 2006 (3.9 million tickets, according to the professional body CBO Box Office and 950 copies) or "Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra", the 2nd title in the series released on January 30, 2002 (3.7 million spectators and 945 copies).

What make Pathé very optimistic about the future of this comedy. It plans already to achieve at least as much as 14.56 million viewers achieved by "Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra", distributed by Pathe, one of the biggest hits at the box office of all french Time behind including "Titanic" (20.76 million) followed by "La Grande Vadrouille" (17.27 million

Virginia Pouchain - France - Eurovision 2006

The following year, it is the Fatal Picards who represented France. Vitaminé, funny, second degree, and yet they get the 22nd place, as Virginia Pouchain, in the previous year. It was good punishment… They happen almost say that the jury of the Eurovision has many strange tastes, but it will not go so far

Sex, better in all respects

Cunnilingus, masturbation, bigamy, fidelity, homosexuality, Internet… they explored everything. A dozen researchers led by Nathalie Bajos (Inserm) and Michel Bozon (Ined) radiographié sexuality Français.12 364 people between 18 and 64 years were interviewed. The preliminary findings were presented in 2007 (Libération du 14 mars). Here all studies, collected editions Discovery (1), and published next week. Where we see that the behavior of men and women come together. This does not preclude the youngest yet to believe that "by its nature, men have more sexual than women."
On the same subject


* "Men have all their partners, women who counted"
* About
* Sex, better in all respects



The first time

The age of entry into the sexuality of men and women is approaching. At the end of 50 years, women at 20.6 years s'initiaient two years after men. Today the difference is only a few months (17.6 to 17.2). But when dépucelage, women are more likely to choose a partner who has already had sex, and older with at least five years. This experience is "less and less the beginning of a formal marital history," especially for women. Fifty years ago, two-thirds of women, a third of men discovered sexuality with their future spouse. Today it is not the case that one person in 10. Nowadays, this initiation "inaugurates a period of youth sexual, between adolescence and adulthood." However, women are often in a "model" préconjugal, stable, lovers, when men are exploring more personal experiences, without obligation. Among the most highly qualified behaviors are similar.

The partners

Again the differences are narrowing. The women reported fewer partners than men, but the gap is cup. Especially for the younger age groups. Those who have known only one have become a minority. They were 68% in 1970, 34% in 2006. Men continue to declare 12 partners on average. Women are more than before: 1.9 in the 30 - 49 years in 1970, 4 in 1992, and 5.1 today. "But the memory of women […] still appears selective," note the authors: they hold only those "who have counted." On the other hand, 34% of men and 24% of women report having been "parrallèles relations." And 43% and 34%, respectively, believe that their partner has a lover (or mistress).

After a break

During the study, two-thirds of people living in a couple, 12% were in stable relationship without living under the same roof, and 20% did not small or small ami (e). One respondent in 5 has already experienced a separation in the previous five years. The new generations, at least conjugality eternal, will probably have more partners after 30 years than the previous ones. "A kind of erasure of the line between youth and adulthood would thus in place of sexual and emotional life." Men and women wait seven months between the break and the meeting of another partner. Is having children a new meeting slows, but does not stop it.

Games more diverse

More than before, love and sex games come in different registers. Especially among women. In 2006, 60% of women report having masturbées (90% of men). They were only 16% in 1970. They say more homosexual experiences than in the past (4% - and men - up from 2.6% in 1992). The fellatio and cunnilingus have become common practices (for two-thirds of men and women) sodomy is not entered in the directory "ordinary" couples: 9% of women and 14% of men say the practice regularly. One third of the 18-24 age group has logged on sites of meetings. In 2006, a man on two regularly watch a film X, and one in five women. Women do most often with a partner, men alone. The meetings swingers have not developed, and the use of prostitution has been stable since 1992.

The indifferent

There's something that it does not, sex. 0.8% of women and 1.4% of men remain puceaux all their lives. 10.8% of women and 6.6% of men have not had sex the previous year. The lack of sex (temporarily or not) can be found in young men without a partner. Between 18 and 35, there are twice as many inactive than females. The trend is reversed after 50 years. Young said they had not found a partner, when the older explain that they "unwilling" sex.

New standards

The heterosexuality, monogamy (or loyalty) and the penetration are the standards of today. "They participate in the construction of a model that included sexual always a priority sexuality in conjugality, especially for women." For example, 49% of men believe that "we can have sex with someone without loving him," but only 26% of women. For young people, this gap is widening. Today, the injunction a "sex" is not measured so much in sexual performance, but "the ability of both partners to engage in a stable and satisfactory from the point of view sexual and emotional." "Thus the model of feminine sexuality", which is gradually "valued". In fact, 44% of women say they are very satisfied with their sex lives. Men are… to 35%.
