The new biography of French First Lady/Sleeparound Carla Bruni (Carla: Une Vie Secrete) has opened up the family-size can of worms, given its claim that Michelle Obama told Carla she hates being America’s First Lady.

But there seems to be some question about whether the book is authorized or unauthorized.

Plug “Carla Bruni authorized” into the Googletron and you get about 33,200 search results. Plug  in “Carla Bruni unauthorized” and you get about 41,400 search results.

But wait. There’s more.

Another book, Carla et les ambitieux, also seems to contain the Michelle-in-hell quote.

What’s real here?

Who the hell knows.

You decide.
