'Carla and the Ambitious' is the official biography of the French first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

What does Michelle Obama think about being First Lady? She calls it "hell." At least, that's what Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the first lady of France, claims.

The former model and wife of French President Nicholas Sarkozy makes the revelation in the new biography, "Carla and the Ambitious," which she helped author, according to London's Daily Mail.

The statement was supposedly made during a private conversation between the two first spouses when the Sarkozy's visited the White House in March. Bruni recalls she asked Michelle Obama about her role as the wife to the President of the United States.

The First Lady allegedly replied, "Don't ask! It's hell. I can't stand it!"

Bruni, 42, also claims in the book that Sarkozy would be happy being just a one-term president of France, the Daily Mail reports, and refers to herself as a "femme fatale."

According to London's The Guardian, the book also states Bruni and her husband obtained a police report which identified the culprits behind reports that the two had been having affairs. The couple had denied any such claim.
