The Spy Who Loved TV

The Anna Chapman Show

Russian spy-turned-celebrity hosts series.

But will we learn about her espionage past? Famed redheaded spy Anna Chapman has kicked off her television career as the host of a Russian show called Secrets of the World. Chapman, who was arrested over the summer as part of a Russian sleeper ring, has since become a celebrity of sorts. In Russia, Chapman and the nine other captured spies were congratulated and given a state award by President Dmitry Medvedev. After her return to Russia, Chapman has posed half-naked for a men's magazine, attended a rocket launch, received a tiger cub on a television chat show, and become a leader of the youth wing of Vladimir Putin's political party. Chapman and a team of reporters will attempt to solve mysteries on the show. Friday's edition was about a baby said to be born with the verses of the Koran on his skin.
