sourceYou would think that Silvio Berlusconi's wife would be thrilled that her busy husband found time to attend an 18th birthday party.
Well she wasn't - because the party was for someone else's pretty young daughter.
Mr Berlusconi's long-suffering wife, Veronica Lario, lashed out after his appearance was gleefully reported in the Italian press.
She said in an email to Italy's national news agency ANSA: 'That really surprised me because he has never come to the 18th birthday parties of any of our children despite being invited.'
The Italian prime minister, 72, has three grown-up children with Mrs Lario - Barbara, Eleonora and Luigi - and two from a previous marriage.
But he also sees himself as 'little daddy' to blonde teenager Noemi Letizia, the daughter of a business associate.

But he also sees himself as 'little daddy' to blonde teenager Noemi Letizia, the daughter of a business associate. He was the surprise guest of honour at her recent 18th party in Naples, and gave her a necklace and signed photograph of himself. Yesterday Miss Letizia was interviewed by several Italian newspapers and said: 'It was a lovely surprise to see the man I call Papi (daddy) at my party.
On her bedside table was prominently displayed a signed photograph of Berlusconi as well as a book in which he had written a dedication to her saying: 'To my little Noemi, my little graphic artist, your little daddy teacher.' In her email, Mrs Lario, 52, also described her husband's plans to get leggy young models and TV stars to run for office as MEPs as 'shameful trash'.
Mr Berlusconi said he wanted 'youthful new faces' as candidates for June's European elections. In her email Mrs Lario said: 'Someone wrote that all this is to sustain the enjoyment of the Emperor.
'I agree with this - what has emerged is shameful trash, all in the name of power.
'I want it to be made clear that my children and I are victims of this situation and do not agree with it, we have to put up with it and suffer with it.
But yea I know u guys were bashing a lot of other people who dated younger chicks, or we even had a thread about it, what do you think about the prime minister of Italy a 72 year old guy doing a 18 year old? and then covering it up by saying its in order to implement some new faces as candidates for the June European election? Do you think the guy is having little too much fun for his age banging all these young models?
