Outrageous babe Sherlyn Chopra is all set to feature in a forthcoming music video by the Black Eyed Peas. Sherlyn who met lead rapper Will.i.am at the Global Mobile Awards in Barcelona made such an impression on Will that he invited her to "collaborate" with him on his next music video project.
Speaking to Mid-day after her return from Barcelona, Sherlyn said, "Will.i.am is such a nice guy. He was very supportive and down-to-earth - unlike some as here, in spite of the fact that he is a Grammy winner and has sold millions of records the world over. When my video Outrageous was played at the Global Mobile Awards ceremony, Will.i.am actually came over and congratulated me. He told me that his famous number Don't Phunk with my Heart has a lot of Indian melody embedded into the composition. He even asked me if I would like to "collaborate" with him on his next project." Sherlyn of course was really happy to say a big Yes. Will.i.am then reportedly went ahead and asked his manager to confirm Sherlyn's participation, says a source who was present at the event.
According to Wikipedia, the Black Eyed Peas are a Grammy award-winning American hip hop/pop group from Los Angeles, California, who have enjoyed worldwide success. The group is currently composed of will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie. Since their breakout album Elephunk in 2003, they have seen international fame for their pop/ dance-oriented style of hip hop music. The Black Eyed Peas have sold an estimated twenty-seven million albums and singles worldwide.
Sherlyn Chopra was the only Bollywood actress chosen to represent India at the function. Last year Dia Mirza was the Indian representative at the same event.
Film Legend Robert Redford, founder of the Sundance Institute, was one of the attractions at the World Congress.
Sherlyn gave away an award to the head honcho of Yahoo Inc for the "Best Infotainment Portal of the Year" at a glittering sit-down dinner function hosted by the international comedian Graham Norton, which was held in the palace of the King of Spain.
Besides Sherlyn Chopra and her music album, two other brands or projects were chosen: south icon Rajnikant's film Sultan - The Warrior and Race was showcased at the same event by the World's biggest mobile content aggregator Hungama.com. Hungama.com provides mobile content to cellular operators in about 56 countries across the world including all major operators in India.
Sherlyn beat established brands like Bipasha Basu, Mallika Sherawat, and Priyanka Chopra to make it to the "A-list". She attended the conference, celebrity cocktail dinners and other sub events in Barcelona recently.
In Barcelona, Sherlyn hob-nobbed with the cellular and digital world's head honchos like our very own Sunil Mittal, Anil Ambani, Azeem Ghosh and Arun Sarin to name a few. Almost every other cellular brand from India had a presence at Barcelona and so did international brands like Verizon (one of the largest operators in the United States), Singapore Tel, Mobi Tel, Telefonica, etc.
Besides these, every other Media brand worth its name was present at the event as were the CEOs of most Fortune 100 companies.
According to Anand Jhinghan, senior vice president-International, Hungama Mobile, "We are delighted to have Sherlyn Chopra's video 'Outrageous' featured at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona. She is amongst two other power brands chosen for the event. Her connect with the youth on the mobile and online medium continues to grow and her brand value on the digital space in increasing leaps and bounds. She is the next big thing on the Bollywood horizon and is one of the most powerful digital brands."
Sherlyn's managers Bollywood Brands have apparently closed a deal with the Black Eyed Peas, though Sherlyn only said that she would reveal all in the next few days. We can surely expect something really outrageous from Sherlyn this time again.
