Just two weeks into the house of the Big Brother and Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty has already hit the headlines, for all the wrong reason though. British Media watchdog, Ofcom, has received over 200 complaints about alleged racism against Shetty. According to media reports, the actress was apparently branded a 'dog' on the Celebrity Big Brother UK show,

Shetty is one of the nine participants on the British reality television show. The show chronicles the activities of the participants after they are locked in a house together. The complainants have taken exception to the fact that other participants made fun of Shetty's accent.

Also one of the contestants, who has since been voted out of the show, used to repeatedly refer to her as the 'The Indian', something which has irked Shilpa's fans. Big Brother is broadcaster Channel 4's most popular programme and Shetty has signed a Rs 3-crore deal to appear in the show.

The television watchdog in London said it had received 200 complaints from viewers that the star was a victim of racist bullying, the reports said. Fans, upset by the racist behaviour, have voiced their concerns on Internet forums.

Shetty, 31, is one of nine celebrities whose activities are being filmed after they were locked in a house together on January 2. A spokeswoman for Ofcom said, "Quite a lot of websites have been discussing the issue and urging people to get in contact with us."

Viewers believe that Shetty has been targeted by Jade Goody, a previous contestant on the non-celebrity version of the show, whose gaffe-prone persona turned her into a tabloid star, Danielle Lloyd, a former beauty queen, and Jo O'Meara, who was in short-lived pop group S Club 7.

Goody has said Shetty 'makes my skin crawl', while Lloyd has called her 'a dog'. O'Meara refused to eat a chicken roasted by Shetty, because she claimed it was too spicy and undercooked, prompting Shetty to burst into tears.

Jackson Five star Jermaine Jackson consoled Shetty by quoting the words of his brother Michael's hit Man In The Mirror. "They need to look in the mirror before they can make that change," he told her. Show producers sought out Shetty and reportedly paid her more than the others -- up to £350,000 -- to bring Bollywood glamour to proceedings and attract viewers with south Asian roots.

Originally done as a one-off tie-in series by Channel 4 in association with the BBC's Comic Relief charity telethon, Celebrity Big Brother is now a full spin-off of Big Brother UK, shown on Channel 4. The series features B list and C list celebrity contestants living in the Big Brother House, trying to avoid being evicted by the public, to win a large cash prize to be donated to the winner's nominated charity at the end of the run.

I just answered a question where someone wanted to know more about Hitler, probably for a report, who knows? Then I started putting links in the source block to point them into reading up on the guy themselves and I was reading about a particular subject that I found heartbreaking was all the medical experiments they did on children and others.

Everything about that time period is horrible, but being a mother I can't imagine what life must've been like for them?

The question: When you hear things being talked about the Holocaust, how does it make you feel or do you turn away and try to ignore that it happened cause it's too depressing?

My sister and b.i.l. have had their two boys wrongfully taken away by CPS. One of the chief complaints in that the children are at risk of Sexual abuse because my b.i.l. 'flashed' someone when he was 15 (and it went to court). I've seen the transcripts and that is what really happened. He is now 29 years old and the incident happened almost half his life ago and was on his juvenile record, which I thought, as a rule, was to be sealed. Can CPS truly charge my b.i.l. with something they think he only 'might' do, basing the accusation on a teenage prank that was dealt with a long time ago and supposed to be sealed? This whole situation is getting ridiculous....oh, and by the way, thanks for reading and helping so much. So many of you have been a blessing to me. :)
