Thanks to IMDb featuring TPG on their normal page, TPG has leapt to NUMBER ONE on IMDbPro's StarMeter ranking! Usually that's reserved for the likes of Brad Pitt or Lindsay Lohan.

No doubt you're going to be bombarded with this news: It seems that she's the new Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) "Meet the new Publicity Photo Actor." In the recent past, they have primarily been very attractive women, which is what all the message board comments say, and will probably say for her, once thousands of people click on the picture and find out "that's where I've seen her before!" She has the most incredible eyes in the included picture, made more dramatic in black and white (that still doesn't sound as obsessive as people have made you sound).
Her filmography is rather short, and I think she only shows up for about 4 seconds in Coyote Ugly (if she's one of the short-haired girls dancing on the bar). If you have the DVD (and I identified her properly), her first scene is at time point 1:05:39 for two seconds (under the ceiling fan) and her second and last scene is at 1:05:49 (at the left of the screen). There's going to be a special unrated edition released in June, but only 7 minutes of restored footage, who knows what is in those scenes.
Mandy is an actress who became an instant internet celebrity based on her appearance on the iTunes + Pepsi ad that appeared during the 2005 Superbowl. Given the wide audience and the connection to Apple computer, numberous postings were made almost immediately after the commercial first aired.
The most famous posts are on a blog called That Pepsi Girl, which is entirely dedicated to Mandy, and maintained by blogger/stalker "Justin" from Michigan.
Being hot, she has attracted at least one fanboy who is either a stalker or a great viral corporate stooge.
Creepy stalker or brillant viral marketing? I report, you decide. (She is pretty hot)
Real name: Mandy Amano
Better known as: "That Pepsi girl from the Super Bowl commercial"
Her story: This Dallas-bred cutie launched 1,000 Web posts with a single appearance dancing in a Pepsi iTunes ad, inspiring nerds from Germany to Japan to create online odes to her beauty. "It's crazy," Mandy says. "I was on screen for 13 seconds. I guess i owe it all to my Pepsi wiggle." (And what a wiggle it is.)
But wait - it gets even better. The Wilhelmina model is a comic book freak, thanks in part to her father, who writes comics and raised Mandy on a steady diet of superheroes. "All my friends' parents had Georgia O'Keeffe on their walls," she says. "We had the X-men."
And on May 7 you can take Mandy home...for nothing!
To celebrate Free Comic Book Day, stores around the U.S. will be giving away copies of Ronin Hood, featuring a character based on Mandy.

There is a blog devoted to the girl in the Pepsi commercial - the one that first aired during the Super Bowl and featured all those people opening bottles and hearing music. She was the first person in the ad, and was in it for about five seconds. Now, go ahead and have a blog about her - she's pretty cute. But this guy gets mentioned on radio shows! Here I am, blogging away, providing valuable public services to my adoring public, and this guy is getting mentions on the radio. I'm so sad. Maybe if I did a blog about some obscure actor or actress ... how about a blog about that actor in the weirdly pornographic Brawny paper towel commercial? Or would that be too gay? Krys says I should do one about the old Brawny paper towels, with the 1970s porn guy. I dug him.
