No Indian Summer for Gere



Richard Gere has a warrant out for his arrest in India stemming from his sexual silliness gone bad earlier this month when he hugged and kissed (on the cheek several times) actress Shilpa Shetty during an appearance at an HIV/AIDS event in the strict country.

Judge Dinesh Gupta said that Gere and Shetty "transgressed all limits of vulgarity" and called the TV footage "highly sexually erotic," hence he issued the arrest warrants.

Immediately following the event, groups of angry Indians burned Gere in effigy to protest the incident even though Shetty defended Gere's behavior. Gere faces up to three months in prison if convicted.

Come on people, look at all the guy has done for your country as far as raising HIV/AIDS awareness and shedding light on India - now you want to throw him in jail? Customs, traditions, whatever...this is crap.

I agree this is total nonsense. I think he got a little carried away with her beauty and his "charming" side came out. It's totally innocent, even a the powers that be over there should be able to see it for what it is...a Hollywood meets Bollywood moment! I think it's funny...
