Bollywood meets Parliament 2007-02-08 13:50:07
Yesterday Shilpa Shetty dropped into the House of Commons where senior ministers put aside their dignity to fawn over the actress. Tony Blair gave her a photo signed by himself and wife Cherie while Jack Straw placed his arm round the cream Punjabi suited Big Brother winner to have their photo taken behind the Speaker's chair.

On a personal note, I think this woman is getting way to much publicity because of the supposed racial slur in the Big Brother house. I wonder how many people reall Read more:Parliament
