But will he hook up with Padma Lakshmi? (by Mitch Sisskind)

Paulo Coelho is one of the most successful writers in the world. His books have sold millions of copies, he claims he was tortured by the Brazillian gov’t, and now he has a commercial for hp computers! (full disclosure: i use an hp computer myself, and i’ve also read several coelho books. If i had to recommend just one, it would be "Eleven Minutes," about a prostitute.)
