(Newser) – As if things weren't bad enough for Silvio Berlusconi, now he's got the wife of a former world leader gossiping about him: Sarah Brown, missus to former British PM Gordon Brown, has a new book out in which she recounts the randy Italian chasing around after model Naomi Campbell's phone number ... at an official state dinner. Brown says that afterward she and JK Rowling giggled about the incident, reports the AP. Brown drops numerous other nuggets in an extensive interview with the Daily Mail.
