Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty clinched a public vote on Sunday to win
"Celebrity Big Brother" after her treatment on the British television
show sparked an international row amid fears of racist bullying.
Shetty, whose victory will be seen as a triumph for racial equality,
beat 13 other contestants, including those who were accused of
tormenting her.
"Are you kidding me? Oh my god," said the 31-year-old Indian actress
when she heard of her victory after 26 days cooped up in a special house
under 24-hour surveillance.
U.S. singer Jermaine Jackson, older brother of Michael Jackson, came
second followed by actor Dirk Benedict, who starred in the 1980s
television series "The A-Team."
Earlier, model Danielle Lloyd -- one of the personalities at the heart
of the racism row -- exited the set as well as two other people who were
also in the final.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.
