Beyonce + Obama Having an Affair According to Legit French Paper

In totally untrue news that legitimate publications are reporting anyway, France’s second largest newspaper le Figaro is claiming that President Obama is having an affair with Beyonce.

Ummm. Okay.


The rumors started in France based on remarks made by paparazzo Pascal Rostain, who claimed in an interview (albeit a translated one):

You know, at this time, the United States, there is something big that is happening. Anyway, it’ll go out tomorrow in the Washington Post—we cannot say that it is the gutter press—[a story about] an alleged affair between President Barack Obama and Beyoncé. I can assure you that the world will be talking about it.

Of course the only thing the Post has picked up today about Obama is a meeting between him and the French President François Hollande (who is visiting the US), so maybe something has been lost in translation.

Or maybe President Obama and President François Hollande is our new favorite OTP!

The Post later explained away rumors that they will write about an affair between the President and Queen Bey, saying the claims are “definitely not true.”
