Yes, she’s hot. A sort of a Cindy Crawford meets Amy Winehouse, minus the crack and track mark hiding tattoos. Priyanka Chopra is a “Guess Girl”. She’s relatively unknown, but is a Bollywood star having made 40 movies (which could now be 50), and she’s now reaching out towards music in America in music, modeling and acting. She was a Miss World winner in 2000 and is now 31. Will she “make it?” Has she already made it? Does she need this? We’ll see fairly soon if her songs hit, but meanwhile she’ll be looking good in black and white in Guess ads. Anyone know where they advertise these days? (New York Times)

“Yes. It’s time to get that unlimited download Internet plan.” Too bad this new venture, announced yesterday by Google, is only available in India. Bollywood movies are a lot of cheesy, musical melodramatic fun, and now though Google’s new YouTube Box Office, Indian movie fans will be able to stream the latest Bollywood hits in HD though their personal computers and internet-connected televisions.
