Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, who recently won the reality show Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, has said that it was time for people to stand up against racism. Shetty was at the center of racism and bullying row in the show when her co-contestants hurled alleged racist taunts against her. The frenzy generated by these comments caused Jade Goody to be evicted from the house and her career is definitely on the knife. However Shilpa said that she had put the whole incident behind her. "It's over and done with for me. I truly feel they have had to face so much after coming out that they've learnt their lesson. I think I took my stand. I stood my ground in my own way. I did it my way," she told GMTV in an interview. Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara called her a "dog" and "the Indian." However hurt, as she was by the comments, Shilpa's dwindling Bollywood stock has been revived by the furor.

Universal Pictures won the bidding war for the script of "Nottingham", which will have Russell Crowe play a good guy as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Other studios involved in the bidding were Warner Bros. Pictures, New Line Cinema, DreamWorks Pictures and Columbia Pictures. Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, who are credited with the cable series "Sleeper Cell," are the script writers of this project. Both will reportedly receive seven-figure compensation for the film, which is to portray the Sheriff as investigating murders in which the main suspect is Robin Hood. It is reported that Bryan Singer, Sam Raimi and Ridley Scott are all interested in directing the film although no definite arrangements were revealed. Screenwriter Ethan Reiff elaborated on the script on Variety, "He's trying to do the right thing but he's up against Robin Hood, who's becoming heroic while not necessarily acting in the nicest way," he said. Russell Crowe will be apparently paid $20 million and a 20 percent backend for the movie. Crowe is a serious kind of actor and already has an Oscar on his portfolio. He won the Best Actor Oscar for Gladiator in 2000.
