Oh, the irony. Russian spy and all-round glamour girl Anna Chapman made a brief public appearance at the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan today.

She watched the launch of a Russian Soyuz rocket carrying two Russians and an American to the International Space Station from Baikonur, but did not make any public comment.

According to reports, she was at the Soyuz launch as an adviser to the president of a Russian bank.
