Unless you're a heartless monster or an envious, emotionally dead Bollywood goddess who's watching her star fall in slo-mo, somehow finding herself in that new Pink Panther sequel, you really can't begrudge Freida Pinto for upgrading boyfriends. Up until the surprise success of Slumdog Millionaire, she'd been engaged to her Mumbai-based flack. But as we all do once we've successfully achieved the zenith of superstardom and find ourselves unable to tolerate the dead weight of underachieving loved ones, Pinto decided to cut her fiancé loose.

Awkward engagement photos here. Instead, owing to the whirlwind of press that she and fellow slumdog Dev Patel have been doing for the film, they've somehow fallen in love. Although last month, there was a tip-off when Patel called Pinto his soulmate. When asked by Ryan Seacrest on whether there was any action going on between the stars, Anil Kapoor (who assumes Regis Philbin's role in the film) uncomfortably chortles, "As a matter of fact, when I meet them I feel there is something happening. I think this is the beginning of something exciting. They definitely make a great pair and look very good together." No disagreements there.
