France: August 2009 Archives

Elton John and his party of merry men were in St Tropez today for lunch at the chic Club 55.

Elton was hard to miss in a bright pink shirt and mirrored sunglasses, while his husband David Furnish was more subdued in a blue striped shirt.

Elton was all smiles as he posed for fans and photographers.

Sting and Trudie Styler  had a big  night out in St Tropez last night. The couple partied with 80's supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber.

The famous foursome had a few drinks at a nightclub before leaving looking a little worse for wear. After leaving Sting and Trudie performed for the paparazzi with a very public smooch in the street.

The group then made their made to an after party on a yacht.

Supermodel Kate Moss is enjoying a getaway with her rocker boyfriend Jamie Hince.

They have spent several days in the resort town with a group of friends and Kate's daughter Lila Grace.

Kate and her party were ferried in a speedboat to an awaiting yacht where they hung out with friends and sunbathed topless.

It wasn't all smiles though as apparently Kate and Jamie had a fight over where to sit for dinner yesterday. Showing that celebrities really are just like us.

Nicholas Sarkozy was resting in the south of France after fainting on a run last week. The French president holidayed with his model wife Carla Bruni and their sons in her family holiday house in Cap Negre.

While Sarkozy wore loud swimming trunks Carla showed off her enviable figure in a tiny black bikini.

It has been noted that Sarkozy is not the first middle aged man to have a liking for brightly coloured swimwear. Richard Branson and Jack Nicholson were also seen last week in somewhat questionable swimming trunks.
