Salma Hayek - Not Moving to Paris

I really have to hand it to Salma Hayek, she could very easily have decided to spend her time shopping in all the luxury stores in Paris, or just lounging around eating bonbons and sipping expensive champagne! Afterall, the father of her baby (due any day now) and also her fiancé, is none other than […]

It was quite fascinating to say the least! Martin is a young musician and composer with a nice melodic voice who […]

Johnny Hallyday - The French Elvis Presley

 Anyone who has ever spent time in France knows who this 64 year old rock singer is. His career spans almost fifty years and if Elvis were still alive today, they more than likely would have done a duet together! Now that would have been something to see!!!
