Priyanka Chopra has received a National Football League promotion. The Indian actress-singer, who sang the intro to last season’s Thursday Night Kickoff, will sing the intro to NFL Network’s Thursday Night Football this season. She replaces CeeLo Green.
Chopra’s song In My City was used for last year’s pregames.
It will be used again for the opening music when the New York Jets visit the New England Patriots tomorrow night. The song features will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. Chopra was crowned Miss World in 2000. She has appeared in a number of films and won India’s national film award for best actress for 2008’s Fashion. Carrie Underwood took over the theme song for Sunday Night Football in 2013 after Faith Hill sang it for six seasons.

Earth is source of moon water?
London: Water found in ancient rocks on moon may have actually originated on the early Earth and even survived the lunar-forming collision event, a new study suggests. The moon, including its interior, is believed to be much wetter than was envisaged during the Apollo mission era.
The study by Jessica Barnes and colleagues at the Open University, UK, investigated the amount of water present in the mineral apatite, a calcium phosphate mineral found in samples of the ancient lunar crust. “The antiquity of these rocks make them the most appropriate samples for trying to understand the water content of the moon soon after it formed about 4.5 billion years ago and for unravelling where in the Solar System that water came from,” Barnes said. — PTI
