"Anna Ilona Staller" 

Cicciolina? No rumor - that is I couldn't say, I mean I would have no way of knowing, but if our Chinese Overlords haven't scoured it from Google, one might find references, if such things existed, speaking purely on a hypothetical basis that is.  At any rate, she was elected to parliment so apparently the voters didn't think she was a snake in the grass.
