The Chicago Public Radio show "This American Life" is going to become a series on Showtime. Also, Michael C.

First mendhi, Bollywood film (see "Ghost World") and music (Timbaland/Magoo, DJ Shadow, that ugly bitch who sang ), now Indian hair: The amalgamation of Indian culture in America. NPR lays it down:
