Indian Actress Wins on Show After Racial Taunts The Indian actress Shilpa Shetty, left, emerged the winner of the British Celebrity Big Brother reality show on Sunday after a contest marked by accusations of racial bullying that touched off protests in India and debates about the state of race relations in Britain, The Associated Press reported. I want to thank the whole of Great Britain for giving me this fantastic opportunity to make my whole country proud, she said. Ms. Shetty, 31, attracted the publics support in the elimination contest after being the target of insults from contestants that led to 40,000 complaints to media regulators. Ms. Shetty has hired the public relations consultant Max Clifford to promote her career in Britain. He estimated that she could earn $2 million in the next year. James Bond in China Ling ling qi, otherwise known as 007, landed in China yesterday when audiences in the worlds most populous country got their first chance to see a James Bond film in theaters, uncut and uncensored, Reuters reported. Just before the premiere of Casino Royale, Daniel Craig, above, on hand with his co-star Eva Green, said with regret: It hasnt premiered here yet, but I think its been seen here. Someone tried to sell me a copy last night. Poor-quality pirated DVD versions of Casino Royale, priced at little more than $1, have been selling in China for weeks. Underwear Tossing Roils Kiri Te Kanawa The soprano Kiri Te Kanawa is being sued for $1.55 million for breach of contract by a promoter after withdrawing from a tour with John Farnham, an Australian rock star, upon learning that his fans threw underwear at him, Agence France-Presse reported. A court in Sydney was told yesterday that after agreeing to appear with Mr. Farnham in three Two Great Voices concerts, Ms. Te Kanawa watched a DVD of one of his concerts, where underpants landed onstage, and found it absolutely horrendous. Inquiry in Brandys Case The California Highway Patrol recommended yesterday that the actress and Grammy Award-winning singer Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in a Los Angeles freeway crash that killed a woman motorist last month, The Associated Press reported. Nick Velasquez, a spokesman for the city attorneys office, said it is currently reviewing the case and determining whether the evidence warrants the filing of a misdemeanor charge of vehicular manslaughter. The charge carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. A message seeking comment from Courtney Barnes, a press representative for Brandy, 27, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, was not immediately returned. Footnotes For London theaters it was a very good year, Reuters reported. Figures compiled by the Society of London Theaters showed that ticket sales, buoyed by several hit musicals, broke the £400 million ($780 million) mark for the first time; revenues were up by nearly 5 percent, and attendance rose by about half a percentage point, to more than 12 million. Pedro Almodóvars Volver, the tragicomic tale of a mothers survival, won five awards, including best film, best director and best actress (Penélope Cruz) when the Goya awards, Spains counterpart of the Oscars, were bestowed in Madrid yesterday, Reuters reported.

Trumpeted as the first comprehensive exhibition in 70 years and the first in Spain to be devoted to this Renaissance artist, the show will run through May 13..

CBS hopes new slot for BIG BROTHER 2 soothes sponsors.
CONCERNED that the content of its summer reality series Big Brother 2 has become too sexually oriented to play in the early hour of 8 p.m., when more children are watching television, CBS announced yesterday that it would push the starting time of the show back to 9 p.m. The move comes as CBS copes with the defections of several advertisers from the series, though a CBS spokesman said the plan to move the show later in the evening was not a sales decision..

Cameras and Microphones Turn a House (All of It) Into a Fishbowl
GEORGE ORWELL expected Soviet-style Communism to perfect the notion of a society monitored by an all-seeing big brother, but he did not realize that it would take capitalism to come up with the most efficient way for millions of people to be nosy. What capitalism has come up with is the aptly named Big Brother, CBSs spinoff of a television show that was first created in the Netherlands and is already wildly popular across Europe. The first show in the United States was shown last night.. Making Big Brother, CBS program that uses cameras and microphones to track 10 people through every hour of the day in the house they will live in for three months, is an extraordinary technical and legistical challenge; photos; drawing (M)
On Live Disks, Old Bands Keep Sounding Better
FANS of the rock singer Janis Joplin got an unexpected treat this summer when Columbias Legacy series unearthed and issued a surprisingly strong 1968 live performance by Joplin and her original band, Big Brother and the Holding Company. It wasnt the singers performance that was surprising. It was the bands. Though not without its charm, Big Brother was certainly no ones idea of a crack unit -- even by the loose standards of psychedelic San Francisco -- and the singer soon parted company with the group. Yet the album, Live at Winterland 68, sounded good enough for one reviewer writing recently in Entertainment Weekly to term Big Brother one of the most unjustifiably maligned bands of the era. But were they? Such conclusions reflect a problem that critics and listeners face today as never before: with the level of technological sophistication that record producers and engineers now bring to enhancing previously recorded performances, evaluating a bands or performers musical abilities on the basis of live recordings -- even older ones -- is a dicey proposition.. Fred Goodman comments on how new digital technology makes it possible to reissue old recordings with an improved sound, noting engineers can now correct wrong notes, give drummers their proper beat, and change intonation, meter and even keys; comments on Columbia Legacy series release of 1968 live performance by Janis Japlin and Big Brotehr and the Holding Company; illus (L)
