Give us this day our daily Brange

Just when you thought the news was getting a wee bit dull with dengue, nuclear tests, politicians' funerals and Gandhigiri jostling for headline space, the Tomb Raider and her motley crew of blond boyfriend, variously hued babies and assorted nasty looking bodyguards swoops to the rescue. And with it, brings the kind of drama that's straight out of the Hollywood movies they star in.

Thank god for Brangelina. For making a trundling rickshaw ride look more exciting than the hunt for Osama.

Thank god for Brangelina. For grabbing precious tabloid space previously dedicated to debates on whether Kim Sharma's new fringe is one up on Ayesha Takia's Bangkok bangs. Now you have daily updates on what Shi, Mads and Zee have for breakfast while Brad and Angie dig into their Indian curry.

Thank god for Brangelina. For making a few mini almost-celebs in its wake. Some unwittingly, others willingly. From the film school students hoping to make a documentary on her, to the dude whose bike kissed the edges of Jolie's carriage, to the socialite who's finally made the skip from page three to page one, all bit players have had their moment in the spotlight in the media circus.

Thank god for Brangelina. For putting Pune on the celebrity worshipper's must-do destination this month.

And finally, thank god once again for Brangelina. For beating TomKat. Shiloh Novel Jolie Pitt not only trumped baby Suri in the photo op round, reeling in four million dollars, but also wrangled a spot at Madame Tussaud's. All this without jumping the couch. Oprah's probably relieved, so are we.
