Bitter Bardot eyeing Russia

French movie star and tax protester Gerard Depardieu might have company in Russian exile.

Ex-screen sex kitten Brigitte Bardot threatened yesterday to also bolt for Russia because French President Francois Hollande has ignored her pleas to spare the lives of two elephants sick with tuberculosis.

Bardot, 78, says she will flee because France “is nothing but an animal cemetery.”

Depardieu got a Russian passport Thursday.
