'Berlusconi wants teenage lingerie model to be MP'
The teenage lingerie model who appears to have brought Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to the brink of divorce, says the controversial Italian leader wants her to be an MP.
'Papi [Daddy] Silvio will fix it,' Noemi Letizia was quoted as saying in an interview with the Italian newspaper, La Repubblica.
Berlusconi's wife Veronica Lario, an ex-actress, complained publicly about her 72-year-old husband's appearance at Letizia's 18th birthday celebrations before announcing last week she was divorcing him after 19 years of marriage.
But Letizia said: 'Papi brought me up. He's always been kind to me. One year he gave me a little diamond; another time, a small necklace. I adore him.'
'He calls me, he tells me he has some free time and I join him in Milan or Rome. I stay there listening to him. That's what he wants from me. Then we sing together,' she was reported as saying.
The prime minister also told her dirty jokes, the paper reported, according to The Times of London.
Asked whether she hoped to stand in forthcoming regional elections, she replied: 'No. I'd prefer to stand for the lower house of parliament. Papi Silvio will fix it.'
She also denied rumours that she was Berlusconi's illegitimate daughter.

Now a 'Gladiator' sequel in the pipeline
Cave was asked to write the screenplay at the request of Scott and star Russell Crowe but the idea was eventually scrapped after the film's studio decided it was too hard to follow on from the first film, in which Crowe's character, Maximus, dies, reports themirror.co.uk.
In Cave's script, however, Maximus is reincarnated by Roman gods and he goes on to become the saviour of early Christians.
Scott, on the other hand, has not rejected Cave's version for the sequel to the 200 film.
'We tried [to go with Cave's script]. Russell didn't want to let it go, obviously, because it worked very well...When I say 'worked very well', I don't refer to success. I mean, as a piece it works very well. Storytelling, [it] works brilliantly,' said Scott.
'I think [Cave] enjoyed doing it, and I think it was one of those things that he thought, Well, maybe there's a sequel where we can adjust the fantasy and bring [Maximus] back from the dead,' he added.
Cave's script has also been described by a blogger as 'one of the most amazing, out-of-left-field screenplays I have ever read'.

Megan Fox feasts on boys in new movie
Actress Megan Fox will be seen feasting on boys in the dark comedy and horror film Jennifer's Body.
The film features the Transformers star, voted the Sexiest Woman in the World by FHM magazine, in the role of a mean-girl cheerleader possessed by a demon who begins feeding off the boys in a farming town.
"It's a really dark comedy with a lot of secret messages lying underneath the script," the Daily Star quoted her as saying.
"I play the captain of the flag team and I get improperly sacrificed by this rock band, who are trying to obtain a record deal - so they sell their soul to Satan. They need to sacrifice a virgin.
"I'm not a virgin, so what happens is I get taken over by a demon and, in order to stay alive in this sort of undead period, I have to eat flesh, so I eat boys," she added.
Revealing as to how she prepared for the role and cooked up her own plot about her character being molested by her father, the 22-year-old said: "It's not in the script but, in my head, my character was victimised by my dad, so I take it out on the boys in my high school.
She added: "So it's me eating them and having this bizarre pseudo-lesbian relationship with my best friend. It's all very manipulative and is basically how frightening young girls can be - they're completely terrifying." (ANI)

Look, who asked John to strip
His body is many guys' envy and many girls' eye candy. But in a strange turn of events, the tables turned when men here shrieked till they were hoarse for Bollywood actor John Abraham to strip off his T-shirt for them.
Call it the star appeal or the post-'Dostana' effect, men - young and middle-aged - burnt the torrid atmosphere with their cries for the 36-year-old at the Diet Pepsi 'Go Play John + You' mass work-out session at Ansal Plaza, Khelgaon Marg, here Sunday evening.
Shouting 'We want John, we want John' before the star was to make an appearance on the stage, the male lot completely subdued the low-pitched voices of the fairer sex with repetitive chants of 'T-shirt, T-shirt' that reverberated the open-air auditorium. They wanted the actor to peel off.
'Come on dude, hit it (T-shirt)...you got to take it out today and beat Salman (Khan) off his birthright,' shouted Saurabh Kejriwal, a student from Amity University in Noida.
Ashish Damani, a 24-year-old businessman, echoed the same but with a different purpose.
'Do it for my girl John, please...she worships you,' he cried in disappointment.
However, the 'Jism' star did not. But he obliged the masses by giving away complimentary T-shirts.
'See, that (flaunting his body) was in a movie. Otherwise I am very very shy...Well, if I take-off my T-shirt, then what will I wear,' quipped the actor, clad in a body hugging white T-shirt and trousers and earthy summer coolers on the foot.
John, who is the first Indian brand ambassador of Diet Pepsi, also unveiled the soft drinks' slim can in the consumer launch set-up.
As the people worked out, a total of 265,000 calories was burnt during the event. An equivalent amount of rupees was announced to be given to non-profit organisation Conserve to create environmental awareness among the youth.
