Paris doppelganger is still depressed from being dumped by underage girlfriend 6 months ago

"I don't get it," he says. "She ch-ch-ch-chose me; I didn't choose her. Why would she leave me?"

In an authorised interview, the former girlfriend, who recently turned 16, revealed: "Uh, well you know, it's like, not cool any more man, to date someone with grey hair who doesn't look like George Clooney. That's so passé. Anyway I don't have time for a BF. I need to work on looking like Paris or Nicole - I can't decide which one I prefer."

Euro confetti used at wedding from defective bills only

Sète, a beach town near Montpellier in the southwest of France, was the scene of a municpal scandal due to a lavish wedding on July 8th. Guests attending the wedding of a successful local businessman threw 1 kilogram of confetti made of defective Euro bills to wish success to the new married couple. Local residents are upset over this 'amoral' use of fake bills. "Normally, the Bank of France shreds them and puts them in the trash," said a representative of the family. "Here at least we get pretty colours and don't have to pick up grains of rice." Local teenager argues "I could have taped those pieces together and sold them on Ebay."
