Shilpa Shetty bound for Australia
A Bollywood actress at the centre of a race row on the last UK series of Celebrity Big Brother is expected to appear on the reality TV show in Australia.
Shilpa Shetty, who won the controversial show in Britain earlier this year, will go into the Big Brother house on the Gold Coast while on a promotional tour, the Daily Star newspaper reported.
The paper quoted a Ten Network spokesman as saying: "We are trying to work out just how long she can spend in the house."
Shetty will be in Australia next month to plug her new movie Metro.
Last week, Shetty again found herself in the middle of a controversy when Hollywood actor Richard Gere embraced and kissed her at an AIDS-awareness event in New Delhi.
Angry crowds burned effigies of Gere in India, where sex and public displays of affection are largely taboo.
