Quite a big story on google right now is this one where Shilpa met Queen Elizabeth 11. | |

Location: Scottish Borders | I read the story about this in the paper today, and have to say that Shilpa looked magnificent.
Some might say "why has she been chosen for this, what's she done really?", but Shilpa is probably the most famous Indian in Britain at the moment, and she has the poise and elegance to carry this off. Also as an actress she has the confidence and delivery to make a speech like this, and make herself heard.
Well done Shilpa!  | |

| As a bemused student of the postmodern ironies only BB can throw up, this has to top it all.
Once we just had the famous, then there was Liz Hurley, who was famous for being famous. Ho hum.
Then BBpostmodernism set in and we got Chantelle, famous for NOT being famous, who instead of being a celebrity who won CBB, contrived to win CBB FIRST in order to become a celebrity!
Once people wrote their autobiography. Then people got ghostwriters so they didn't have to write their autobiography. Ho hum.
Then we got Pete, who confessed to the Guardian that he hadn't even READ his own autobiography!
Now we find HM QE2, Head of the Church of England, sitting in Westminster Abbey, being addressed from the pulpit by Shilpa Shetty, Hindu, Bollywood sexpot and former BBHM. Her claim to fame is THIS?
Priceless. Utterly priceless. (I'm a fan of both Chantelle and Shilpa BTW; Pete I'm fairly neutral about.)
