curious mpls vpn requirment

HI group !

i have a typical mpls vpn scenario ..

      ISP-------------CE1 (HQ)----------PE1------mpls vpn cloud----------
PE2------------CE2(BR)

pe-ce protocol bgp

CE1 (HQ) has* Internet* connection form a different service provider (ISP).
It is also connected to mpls vpn cloud to reach Private branches.

We need internet access on CE2 and we don't want to hire Internet services
from current mpls vpn provider.

A default route on CE2 (BR) would work in case of leased line directly
connected to CE1 (HQ) ..but in this case it is mpls vpn cloud ...i guess on
packets hitting vrf of CE2(BR) facing PE router will be dropped ., as it do
not contain Internet routes....

i would like to know work arounds for this issue ..

1 ) Can a simple GRE tunnel solves this issue ?

2) is it possible to add default route in PE2 vrf with next hop of pe1 and
again on pe1 vrf to finally HQ where we have internet connectivity ..?

Thanks
