"MOSCOW (AFP) – Undercover spy turned media star Anna Chapman marked the New Year by starring in a parody of a popular Soviet spy film and then telling Russians never to keep love a secret.
"The increasingly prolific Chapman, who has ranged between erotic modelling, politics and lion taming (((not to mention space rockets))) since her expulsion from the United States, was shown for the first time turning to acting in the short film.
"The film, broadcast in state-controlled Channel One's glitzy New Year gala, showed Chapman playing herself as she met Maxim Isayev, the fictional undercover hero from the legendary Soviet series "Seventeen Moments of Spring".
"In the films and original novels, Isayev operates undercover in Nazi Germany under the name of Stirlitz. (((No I did not make that up.)))
"Seen as the Russian answer to James Bond, Stirlitz is believed to be a favourite character of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who himself served as a KGB agent in the former East Germany.
"Shot in black and white, the three minute film shows Stirlitz sitting in a cafe with romantic piano music playing as Chapman sits some tables away coquettishly sipping tea.
"He stares at Chapman, but known for his shyness and reserve, never speaks to her, instead nervously playing with his collar and swallowing mints.
"They had never met, because in the United States they do not show 'Seventeen Moments of Spring'," intoned the voiceover.
"'What a beautiful woman', Stirlitz thought. 'It is a shame that the years have not changed me. I am still the same, reserved, modest, and nervous'," it added.
The film said the secret signal for their meeting had been Chapman's scantily clad cover spread last year in the Russian men's magazine Maxim – the real name of the legendary Stirlitz.
At the end of the film, the picture turned to colour and Chapman told the nation that love should never be an undercover secret...
(((But wait! There's so much more!)))

Confessing for the first time in media that she was a spy, (((oh really))) 28-year-old Anna Chapman was invited to the interview on Channel One of the state television along with her mother, sister, grandmother, school teachers and friends, since she has earned the status of a celebrity in her homeland.
In the 60-minute episode, dedicated exclusively to Anna Chapman, titled "Let Them Talk", the former Russian agent reminisced about her life in New York and named Sean Connery and Angelina Jolie as her favorite stars. (((Oh for heaven's sake.)))
Declaring her spying mission a failure in the face of her arrest followed by her deportation to Russia, Anna Chapman said that the arrest bestowed her worldwide fame....
