God, I do so love the French.

Exclusive Parisian hotel 'won't be open to Chinese tourists'
By NBC News staff

The founder of the French fashion label Zadig & Voltaire said an exclusive Parisian hotel the company plans to open in 2014 will not be open to Chinese tourists, according to Vogue UK. The label later said the comment by the brand's founder and owner, Thierry Gillier, was misunderstood.

The hotel will be located in a private mansion on the city's Left Bank.

"This was a project dear to our hearts," the brand's founder and owner, Thierry Gillier, told WWD. "It will be a slightly private hotel, not open to everybody, with 40 rooms. We are going to select guests. It won't be open to Chinese tourists, for example. There is a lot of demand in Paris -- many people are looking for quiet hotels with a certain privacy."

According to French newspaper Liberation, the label later asked WWD to remove the reference to Chinese tourists from its article, stressing that Gillier's words were misinterpreted and he was referring to "mass tourism." The magazine complied with the request, changing the phrase "Chinese tourists" to "busloads of tourists."

Well, that's one way to bump the daytime ratings.

I bet they shot through the roof.

Do other countries than the USA show live car chases on TV? Never saw that stuff here.

I think in Germany that kind of reporting fell out of favor after Gladbeck.

Looks like the average languishite has a greater shot at nailing Charlize Theron then was ever previously thought possible.

Everything seems to be citing the mail thus far.

i take celebe stuff (what little i read) witha  grain of salt. If it's not fake then it's just leaked by publisits anyway. unless, you know, the actress runs someone over. then that's leaked by the person getting run over

Well I'm just glad to see that I was right.

There's always Alarm für Kobra 11: die Autobahn Polizei, for your car chase and twisted metal fix, anyways.

He's got two pair of them, remember.  It's like he's blocked in on his Big Wheel at both ends of the hallway.

SO Volgograd will be one of the Russian cities hosting the world up in 2018. Would be so cool for the Germans to have to play there.
