Fortunately, the BBC heard my plea to Free Shilpa Shetty.
If the BBC can apologize (sorry, it's British, so I'll try again)...
If the BBC can apologise for the horrid treatment of Shilpa Shetty on Celebrity Big Brother, including referring to the actress as "Shilpa Poppadom"; another contestant saying that Shetty should "f*ck off" home; and a dispute over Shetty cooking a chicken, ending with housemates making abusive remarks about Indian eating habits, then surely the Indian Supreme Court should accept her motions in Geregate.
"Shilpa Poppadom" should not be confused with with Ultramagnetic MC's song Poppa Large...
Although referring to the svelte Indian Shetty as Poppa Large might make her believe that you're calling her a "fat black man".
That, in and of itself might not seem too bad, but it could set the stage for a legal trouble akin to what happened with Keira Knightley, who won a lawsuit against a newspaper who claimed she had an eating disdorder...and tried to blame her alleged anorexia for for the death of a 19 year old. I guess they don't know about TOFIs or how skinny beautiful women are persecuted. Just ask Cameron Diaz.
The Poppa Large confusion could raise another claim if it causes Shilpa to lose a suitor who beleives she's a dark, fat, black man instead of lightskinded...like the Indian guy who's arranged bride rebuffed him for being too dark.
The Indian Supreme Court needs to handle their country's color discrmination...after they help Shilpa first.
I mean, c'mon. She's been beaten, lonely, and abused! They gotta have their priorities straight, right?

Forget Paris, Free Shilpa!
According to Reuters, India's Supreme Court has suspended all legal proceedings against Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in Geregate. Apparently, the petitioner who filed against her is upset that she didn't resist Richard Gere's obsene act.
You know. Wanting to make out with a hot woman.
Gere has apologized to Shetty on a daily basis for the real, yet understandable, crime: Being Jealous of Richard Tiffany Gere.
The next step for Shetty is filing a motion which would enable her to leave the country without being groped...I mean stopped...by cops.
They need to leave this poor woman alone. She already went through hell trying to show support for circus animals with Peta. An experience which she says left her uncomfortable in a small cage:
“But what were a few fleeting moments of discomfort for me compared to what life must be like for the precious animals held captive in the circus? These once dignified animals only leave their cages, which are barely larger than the size of their bodies, for a few minutes each day to be forced into the ring to perform tricks which make no sense and are upsetting to them"
Like circus animals, the Gere 'Shall We Dance' re-enactment was upsetting and made no sense to Shetty.
Why should she continue to be persecuted?

Don't Make Richard Gere Have To Call Somebody
Turns out that Indian Magistrate Judge Dinesh Gupta, who issued arrest orders for Richard Gere and Shilpa Shetty after their public kiss, has been handled:
The Times of India reported Thursday that Gupta was transferred from his post in Jaipur to the small town of Kishangarh several hours away. The paper quoted High Court Commissioner C.P. Singh as saying the transfer was “routine,” but he noted that the order came from a state chief justice. Officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
Notice what Singh said? The order came up from high. Who do you think was pulling strings to put that ass in line?
Even if you live a few continents away, you can't escape him.
Richard Gere will get you demoted if you try to get in the way of sexual progress!
Know Gere.
Love Gere.
Fear Gere.

Richard Gere: Sexual Trailblazer
When you hear the words "sexual trailblazer", who do you think of?
Al Kinsey?
Nerd.
Sigmund Freud?
Punk ass.
Elvis?
Poseur.
Madonna?
Oh, Hell to the No!
THE Sexual Trailblazer?
Richard Tiffany Gere.
The recent Indian furor with Shilpa Shetty may seem out of character for a humble Buddhist, but behind that facade lies a man who has taken sexual issues and shoved it in the face of prudishness.
In Looking for Mr. Goodbar, he played a jealous and possessive playa-playa.
In American Gigolo, he was the first major Hollywood actor to engage in full frontal nudity.
Pretty Woman brought prostitution to the mainstream...in a Disney movie!
Elvis and Madonna may have had envelope pushing controversies in the past, but what did they do last week?
Elvis came back from the dead to sing with Celine Dion.
Madonna visited Malawi.
Richard Gere, on the other hand, was chilling on The Daily Show cracking jokes while he's facing arrest in India.
Richard Gere may be wanted in India for "transgressing all limits of vulgarity", but he's not afraid. He's been here before. And if he can face the wrath of Rambo and the scorn of society through a vicious gerbil rumor, he can weather this storm.
Best believe that.

They Really Hate P.D.A.s!

Richard Gere, on a crusade to promote safe-sex in India, offended Hindu nationalists by kissing actress Shilpa Shetty numerous times IN PUBLIC on the hand and ON EACH CHEEK (on her face, you pervs). They responded by beating burning effigies of Gere with sticks and setting fire to glamorous shots of Shetty.
I'm not sure if the rage because Gere's middle name is "Tiffany", he engaged in a condom call and response, or they're still bitter because he divorced Cindy Crawford.
The rage could be from Shetty flirting with "Face" from the A-Team or punking out on "Celebrity Big Brother". They might have just been demonstrating what she should have done to the racists who harassed her on the show.
If they are pissed about a famous Bollywood actress being defiled in such a public display, imagine what they'd do if they knew about the gerbil incident!
Check out the video.

What do you think about the incident? How close have you come to beating a burning effigy and why?
