So word about town is that my Salmita has been seen frequently with her old hombre, Francois-Henri Pinault. But there is evidently no reconciliation in the works–rather instead, Salma is lining up a plan of action against an author that may have stolen her personal diary and written her words into publication:

The two reportedly feel “furious” and “betrayed” over reports that a short story in Cervantes Prize-winning Carlos Fuente’s upcoming book “Happy Families” is actually a thinly veiled “novel a clef” about their own affair -– and allege that parts of the story were lifted word-for-word straight from Hayek’s own personal diaries.

The good thing about this, apparently the lifted words were actually rather poetical, proving my belief that Salma is not only physically but mentally desirable.

Reads the story: “Truffles began to make me itch, pheasants left me cross-eyed, lobsters grabbed at my hands to pull me back to the ocean floor … Love can suffocate us. It’s like eating candy all the time. You have to give tedium its due.”

“These are words that were taken directly from my own private diaries,” the distraught Hayek has confided to several close friends.

I spit on anyone who would invade another person’s privacy in such a way–and I invite Salma to find courage during these difficult times in my arms.
