Atwitter over airport stop

When regular folks get questioned by airport officials, we miss our plane. When it happens to Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, fans burn U.S. flags and a former Miss World tweets her outrage.

Although Khan, 44, later downplayed the incident - "I think it's a procedure that needs to be followed, but an unfortunate procedure" - fellow Indian film stars and political leaders thought otherwise.

"My name is Khan? Too bad. SRK (Shah Rukh Khan) feels the heat of American paranoia," said the Times of India. In India, the ability to avoid being frisked at airports is seen as a status symbol.

"Shocking, disturbing and downright disgraceful. It's such behavior that fuels hatred and racism. SRK's a world figure for God's sake. Get real!" actress Priyanka Chopra said on her Twitter feed.

The actor is in the United States to promote a new film, My Name is Khan - about racial profiling of Muslims after the 9/11 attacks. Khan is a Muslim.

U.S. immigration officials denied Khan was formally held, and instead said he was questioned as part of a routine process that took 66 minutes. A U.S. customs spokesman said Khan's documents and papers were in correct order, "but it took a little longer because his bag was lost by the airline."

Now that's something to complain about.

Chima Simone is no longer in the Big Brother house.

CBS said producers removed the 33-year-old freelance journalist for breaking the reality show's rules. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show, according to CBS.

Simone, of West Hollywood, Calif., was last seen on the show conjuring conspiracy theories after her ally, bodybuilder Jessie Godderz, was spontaneously nominated for eviction.

"Looks like me and the producers need to have a little bit of a talk," she said.

Don't fear, Chima. We hear second chances are all the rage these days.
