Sarko replaces Dati with sexy TV host

LONDON: French president Nicolas Sarkozy has picked a glamourous TV presenter to replace sacked justice minister Rachida Dati.
The 39-year-old hot Christine Kelly has been handpicked by the flamboyant president as the new face of ethnic diversity in France, two months after 43-year-old Dati, a single mother, was removed from office.
Kelly is expected to become minister for overseas territories in French government in Sarkozy���s next reshuffle, an especially important role as many of the islands involved are currently suffering severe economic hardship and social unrest, the Daily Telegraph reported.
���Sarkozy is hugely impressed that she is not only attractive, but in touch with the modern world. He is aware that Rachida���s imminent disappearance will create a gaping hole, and is certain Christine will be the person to fill it, the British daily quoted an unnamed source in France���s governing party as saying.
Working as a presenter on the French news channel ���LCI���, Kelly is as well-known for appearing in bikinis as suits.
