Better late than never, Mrs Berlusconi

I never had too much time for Veronica Lario, better known as the long suffering wife of Italy’s current PM, Silvio Berluscummy. VL was an actress in low budget movies in her young age, however she retired from acting after meeting Mr Berluscummy. This is if you can call taking your clothes off in front of a camera ‘acting’. Anyway even if she had carried on in her distinguished acting career I think it’s pretty safe to assume that her hands & footprints would never have graced the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre’s famous forecourt.

Therefore I was quite surprised when last week she announced that she had had enough of Mr Berluscummy’s antics (join the club, love) and finally decided to file for divorce. Still one has to wonder what attracted a beautiful, relatively-unknown two-bob actress to a philandering, corrupt, irritating, balding, short, lying, thieving billionaire like Mr Berluscummy in the first place.
