'Sexy Spy' Reaps Rewards at Home ... Herring, a Lion Cub

Russia’s love affair with “sexy spy” Anna Chapman continues: Yesterday, she made her first major public appearance, and received a pretty major gift for her trouble. On a Russian talk show, she revealed some of her passions (acting, shooting, Angelina Jolie, and—not surprisingly—spy movies) and said she’s always wanted a pet lion. So what was she presented with? A lion cub, the New York Times reports.

In addition to the exotic animal, Chapman was presented with a few more strange gifts: Beet salad and a large pickled herring from her grandmother. Click for more on Chapman, including a couple of racy photo shoots.
