Blonde bombshell Paris Hilton has added a new venture to her business conglomeration of perfumes, accessories and TV shows, a motorcycle racing team.
The hotel heiress and reality TV star wore a tight pink leather catsuit to announce the new venture in Madrid, reported MTV online. The 29-year-old posed with her very own customised two-wheeled vehicle, embellished with pink crystals.
Hilton announced at the press conference that she has started her own team called SuperMartxe VIP by Paris Hilton.
She will scout for drivers in partnership with a Barcelona-based team, By Queroseno Racing (BQR). The team will then compete in the 2011 MotoGP World Championship season. Hilton will be required to attend five of next season’s races as part of her contract.

Jaipur lad brews Bollywood-spiced Hollywood movie
ARUN KUMAR
WASHINGTON

Taking a leaf out of Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle’s book, a young Indian filmmaker in the US has set out to make a Hollywood film with a Bollywood flavour. Rajiv Meets Rachel is planned as a romantic comedy about an Indian boy who meets and falls in love with an American girl in New York.
But Jaipur-born Naman Goyal, who discovered his true calling while studying computer engineering in his home town, isn’t too fond of the term “Bollywood-crossover”.
Fascinated as he was by the dating system of the West that is so different from its Indian equivalent, he chose this theme because: “I felt that there really was no proper love story made between an Indian guy and an American girl.”
Goyal, who believes one of the main reasons for the success of Slumdog Millionaire was the publicity surrounding the song Jai Ho, is planning a similar strategy with two songs sequences, one of them complete with Bollywood-style dress changes and background dancers keeping the lead couple company in New York’s Central Park. —IANS
