"The French magazine l'Express is likely to sell out quicker than hot croissants in Paris today. That's because it rushed its latest issue to newsstands one day early headlined by an exclusive interview with Carla Bruni — the first given to the press by the new first lady since her marriage to French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
