Bardot

In France, the animal rights activist and film star, Brigitte Bardot, joined the campaign to save Rillette.

Anderson might have grown up culture-starved in rural British Columbia, but she feasted on the French New Wave as soon as she could, and here, she does a pretty good job at acting as though she’s in a Godard film herself, piling her hair on top of her head à la Brigitte Bardot and gazing off toward, presumably, Las Vegas’ half-scale Eiffel Tower as we stare at her and hope things work out.

A new line-up has formed around original members Kapranos and Hardy, with guitarist Dino Bardot, keyboardist/guitarist Julian Corrie and drummer Audrey Tait joining up.

French President Emmanuel Macron's office has asked Denmark not to extradite Paul Watson, and there has been vocal support from legendary actress turned animals rights activist Brigitte Bardot.

The French animal charity Fondation Brigitte Bardot said on X that "Loubo will of course not be euthanised" and that he "has a home and a family".
