She’s visited the Houses of Parliament and is being considered for movie roles and even her own cookbook.

It’s also been reported the star is being lined up to become the first ever face on the new Indian version of fashion magazine Vogue.

Shilpa to be face of Vogue? - Feb 19 2007
It seems Shilpa Shetty is being courted for yet another starring role after winning Celebrity Big Brother - this time as a Vogue cover girl.

The Bollywood beauty, 31, is being lined up to become the first ever face on the new Indian version of the fashion magazine, the Daily Star reports.

It is the latest in a string of rumoured deals for Shilpa - it’s been reported she could make £10 million in the next five years.

Sources at the new publication, set to be launched later this year, hope her appearance will bring in readers.

An insider told the paper: "She’s always had a massive fan base in India, but since Big Bro her popularity has shot through the roof."

Shilpa has visited the Houses of Parliament and is being considered for movie roles and even her own cookbook since she won the reality TV show in January.

Her response to the row in the CBB house won her fans around the world and she’s even due to meet the Queen next month.

Shilpa coached for Chicago role - Feb 9 2007
It seems Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty is setting her sights on a role in the hit musical Chicago.

And British singer Jamie Pearce is apparently coaching the Bollywood beauty.

The two met at one of Jamie’s private gigs last week and have struck up a friendship.

A spokesman for Jamie’s label Cent Records said today: "He started tutoring her about ten days ago. They met when she came to a private gig of his the Tuesday before last. It has developed from that.

"It is on an ad hoc basis as she’s (Shilpa) so busy. It mainly takes place in the evenings and it is for a possible role in the musical Chicago."

This week Jamie released his new single More Than Enough.

The spokesman continued: "Jamie is relaunching himself after travelling around the world on an apprenticeship working with various musicians.

"His new music is more piano led pop rock."

On Jamie’s official site - www.jamiepearce.co.uk - he said: "My lyrics and melodies come from everyday life - people, places, jobs. With your head you come up with a story, and it all flows from that. In this industry you need the will, confidence, and drive to get you on."

Fans brave the cold to see Shilpa - Feb 8 2007
Hundreds of people turned out to greet Shilpa in Leicester as she launched her own charitable foundation.

The Bollywood star had already sparked a media scrum earlier in the day when she visited the House of Commons - but even that probably hadn’t prepared for her enthusiastic welcome later that day.

Fans waited for hours in the cold for the actress, whose appearance on Celebrity Big Brother - where she was at the centre of the racist bullying row - has shot her to fame in the UK.

And Shilpa was forced to abandon her visit to a radio station because the throng prevented her from getting out of her car.

The 31-year-old actress continued on to the nearby Peepul Centre to launch a charitable foundation in her name aimed at raising awareness about Aids in India.

She said: "It is a cause that has been very, very close to my heart. Not just now but for the last four years.
