Carla Bruni-Sarkozy remains the first lady of fashion, as she confirms rumors she will guest edit the French weekly, Madame Figaro magazine. Hitting newsstands this Saturday, the issue features an article with Bruni-Sarkosy in which she responds to gossip surronding her marriage with French president Nicolas Sarkozy and blames the worst rumors on bloggers:

“[Rumors] have always existed. But I despise those that stem from a blog and that are written by people calling themselves Mickey or Superman,” she says in the issue. “I also despise so-called journalists who use blogs as a credible source of information.”

The weekly magazine will also feature one-off sketches from Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier, a story on Bruni-Sarkozy's charity projects, a profile on Bono, and photographs of Marine Delterme by Ellen von Unwerth.
