London - A solid, attack-geared Brazil won a friendly against lacklustre world champions Italy on Tuesday 2-0 through goals from Elano and Robinho.
The five-time World Cup winners prevailed through their speed and classy ball control as the Azzurri, who won their fourth title in 2006, displayed major flaws in their trademark defence tactics.
The defeat also thwarted coach Marcello Lippi's hopes to set a new world record after 31 unbeaten games.
London, Feb 10: Hotel heiress Paris Hilton, who is mainly in the news for her shopping binges, lately met music legend Paul McCartney and urged him to make her his singing partner.

"I'd love to do a duet with you. I'm a singer too and have had an album out," the Sun quoted her as saying.
But McCartney, who seemed baffled for a moment, politely declined her request.
"Sir Paul was minding his own business when Paris traipsed right up to him and introduced herself. He looked bemused, smiled and nodded - then stumbled out that he'd have to check his schedule," a source said.
