...satellite TV came to the Warana sugarcane-growing region of Maharashtra state, some 250 miles southeast of Bombay, and the ground started moving under the farming village of Pokhale. "Even one-year-olds started shaking their hips like those MTV girls," says farmer Shantappa Ghewari. More than a year later, another magical box was installed in the village, and Pokhale became one of 70 villages in the region to take part in the "Wired Village Warana," a $600,000 information-technology project initiated by the federal government. All the villages in the area have computer kiosks that are linked...
...celebrity couples--they aren't. That's why CARSON DALY and TARA REID did the inevitable, cute and right thing last week by not running off to Vegas or getting mutual tattoos. Instead they got properly engaged and called their parents. Daly, beloved by teen girls as host of MTV's Total Request Live, is notable for an adolescent flirtation with the priesthood, a deep affection for golf and a previous involvement with Jennifer Love Hewitt.

He is a sophisticated man, and yet he speaks the language of yesterday's class...
...Food Network's gimmicky Iron Chef era, finding a simple cooking program on the channel is becoming as difficult as finding a video on MTV. For that, this high-profile launch is welcome, even if it's as precious and trendy as a truffle-emulsion foam. British superchef/pretty boy Jamie Oliver isn't actually naked--the title refers to his minimalist recipes--but his artfully disheveled, Prada-model looks probably didn't hamper his TV deal. To be fair, this gravy-boat dreamboat is professional and informative. But his languid preening, the jerky handheld camera and the Brit-pop sound...
