Goody kicked out of 'Big Brother' !

British television star Jade Goody, accused at home and abroad of being a racist bully for her treatment of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, was evicted from the "Celebrity Big Brother" show on Friday.

The 25-year-old was favourite to be kicked out by public vote after she was cast as the villain of a programme that has triggered protests in Britain and India, prompted a sponsor to pull out and now threatens Goody's lucrative career.

Even top politicians have weighed into the row, which has dogged a visit to India by finance minister Gordon Brown.

"There is a lot of support for Shilpa," Brown told reporters earlier on Friday after visiting Bollywood producer Yash Raj Chopra and film stars at a studio in a northern Mumbai suburb.

"It is pretty clear we are getting the message across. Britain is a nation of tolerance and fairness."

Shetty, an A-list Indian star, was called a "dog" on the show. Housemates refused to learn her name, referred to her as "the Indian" and "Poppadom", and model Danielle Lloyd said: "She should fuck off home. She can't even speak English."

Sponsor Pulls Out !

Carphone Warehouse, Europe's biggest mobile phone retailer which paid around 3 million pounds ($5.9 million) for a year's sponsorship of this series and another in the summer, said it was pulling out because it did not want to be associated with allegations of racist bullying.read more source Hindustantimes.
