PARIS (Reuters) - French actress-turned-animal rights activist Brigitte
Bardot was convicted Thursday of inciting racial hatred and ordered to

The Paris court sentenced Bardot, 69, for remarks in her book "A Scream
in the Silence," an outspoken attack on gays, immigrants and the jobless
that shocked France last year.
