BAD MOUTH: Former French actress Brigitte Bardot, who is 69 now, was convicted Thursday in Paris of inciting racial hatred for portraying Muslims in a negative light in a book.

*Her language could lead the reader to "reject members of the Muslim community through hate and violence," the court concluded in its ruling.*

Bardot’s fourth husband, Count Bernard d’Ormale, is a close associate of extreme right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen, head of the National Front party.
