Microsoft Using Starlettes to Promote Online Games

Microsoft continues to roll out sexy Hollywood stars to promote its online gaming service XLive.

Next on tap is actress Michelle Rodriquez, one of the stars of The Fast and the Furious, S.W.A.T., Resident Evil and Blue Crush. She will slip on her racing gloves and give fans a chance to challenge her to a drag around the track in Project Gotham Racing 2.

The event is scheduled for March 12, and her screen name will be released via the Xlive home page so that players can begin making challenges.
