France’s glamorous first lady, Cécilia Sarkozy, may have fled the Elysée Palace, but President Nicolas Sarkozy has wasted no time recruiting some alluring stand-ins: his handsome blond sons from a previous marriage. Pierre, 22, and Jean, 20, are taking their turns in the public eye; most notably, they accompanied Sarkozy on a recent state visit to Morocco, charming crowds with their glossy, shoulder-length hair. Pierre dabbles as a hip-hop producer, and both boys are in law school, but that hasn’t helped Jean wiggle out of a scandal that dates back to 2005. He had a December court date to answer accusations that he crashed his scooter into a BMW and left the scene—after giving the driver an obscene gesture.
