Desperate Shilpa’s popping poppadoms now

It’s amazing what a Bollywood has-been will do, when starved of juicy projects to salvage her non-existent career. Case in point being Shilpa Shetty who is now planning to launch her very own line of poppadoms and chicken curry.

Confused?

For those of you who aren’t very familiar with why Shilpa is as infamous as she is, the 34 year-old actress’ only claim to fame is her stint on the now defunct Big Brother. There, after a heated battle with fellow contestants Danielle Lloyd and Jade Goody, Shilpa managed to spark a racism row and also walk away as winner. Ever since, the lady clings to the UK with a desperate passion, even though her 15-seconds of fame have dimmed, dulled and rusted over.

And now, for want of a logical reason to stay on in the UK, Ms. Shetty has launched a number of private businesses, most of which are funded by the very generous (and not so bright) Raj Kundra. Some of these include a very forgettable yoga DVD, and a dismal run at the Indian Premier League.

Of her up and coming chicken curry-poppadom business, Shilpa claims that she was so inundated with calls for her famously undercooked chicken curry recipe which incidentally, also sparked the BB controversy, that she came up with the ‘bright’ idea of launching her own line of chicken curry. As an added bonus, Ms. Shetty is also throwing in a poppadom line to humor the departed spirit of the late Jade Goody.

Is your desperation making you a little morbid …. Shilpa darling? Not to mention concern about a boyfriend who refuses to marry you. But seriously, why are you trying to cash in on Jade Goody’s name? The lady has passed on, let her rest in peace. This is in bad taste, don’t you think? Tacky, tasteless and a total wannabe… that’s Shilpa Shetty in a nutshell for you.
