Sarah sounds jealous of her here to me:

 Salma Hayek gets knighted??? For WHAT? For marrying a mega-rich pal of right wingnut Sarkozy?
Clearly, knighting in France has just become one huge joke. With so many remarkable women in France, and this actress who has done nearly NOTHING gets KNIGHTED? No wonder the French are angry.

================

Actress Salma Hayek gains French knighthood

Film actress Salma Hayek has been awarded one of France's top honours by President Nicolas Sarkozy.

Mexican-born Hayek will become a Knight of the Legion d'Honneur at a ceremony in Paris later this year.

The 45-year-old's businessman husband, Francois-Henri Pinault, is an associate of Mr Sarkozy, while his father was also honoured in the New Year's list.

Some readers of French newspaper L'Express have said honours should be awarded to worthier recipients.

32. Being named a Knight of the Legion d'Honneur is a minor honor

Good grief. Knight (or more correctly "Chevalier" is the lowest rung on the Legion d'Honneur scale. Its a ceremonial honor that gets bestowed on all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons, including thousands of foreigners. Among those getting the nod over the years: Vladmir Putin. Clint Eastwood. Barbra Streisand. Alan Greenspan.

Do you think that there was no one more "qualified" (based on whatever it is that you think consists of the qualifications for this yawn of an honor) than those particular "Knights"?

If you want to criticize the awarding of honorary "knighthoods" by the French to foreign actors, actresses, political leaders, I can understand. But to single out the award to one actress as somehow being that egregious compared to the others?

33. You're right. Someone else mentioned that. The 1% knight their own, and not because they're worthy

As a son of a British Mum, I must say that the whole business of knighting people has become a joke. But I would knight her for "those" well before I would ever give Nobama the peace prize.

My first husband absolutely loved her.  Also, he thought "Hayek" was Arab, so he claimed her as one of his own.   :mental:

Sarah Ibarely is all butt-hurt because:

1. Hayek publically dissed Sean Penn re-e-e-eal bad a few weeks ago over Penn being a Chavez commie cocksucking tool

2. Hayek is better looking

It doesn't carry a title (as British knighthoods do), and is effectively nothing more than a civilian medal.

I notice that they're not getting upset by Babs Streisand who holds the same award...
