India May Arrest Richard Gere Over Kiss

http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/20070426/117760068000.html

A court issued arrest warrants for Hollywood actor Richard Gere and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Thursday, saying their kiss at a public function "transgressed all limits of vulgarity," media reports said.

Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in the northwestern city of Jaipur after a local citizen filed a complaint charging that the public display of affection offended local sensibilities, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.

Gupta earlier viewed television footage of the event, which he called "highly sexually erotic," saying the pair violated India's strict public obscenity laws.

Gere and Shetty "transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society," PTI quoted the judge as saying.

Such cases against celebrities often filed by publicity seekers are common in conservative India. They add to a backlog of legal cases that has nearly crippled the country's judicial system.

Gere left India shortly after the kissing incident and it was not immediately clear how the warrant would affect him.

Gere is a frequent visitor to India, promoting health issues and the cause of Tibetan exiles. The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has his headquarters in the north Indian town of Dharmsala.

Under Indian law a person convicted of public obscenity faces up to three months in prison, a fine, or both.

Last week, crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of the 57-year-old star of "An Officer and a Gentleman" "American Gigolo" and "Pretty Woman" after he embraced Shetty and kissed her several times on her cheeks during an HIV/AIDS awareness event in the Indian capital.

Photographs of the clinch were then splashed across front pages in India where public displays of affection are largely taboo.

The judge lambasted Shetty for not resisting Gere's kisses and ordered her to appear in his court May 5, PTI said. A spokesman for Shetty declined comment.

The event's organizer, Parmeshwar Godrej, called the controversy a distraction from more important issues.

"It has detracted from and undermined the value and success of the event, which was concerned with creating AIDS awareness and promoting AIDS prevention among truck drivers," CNN-IBN quoted her as saying.

Shetty, 31, has said the embrace was not obscene and that the media should instead focus on HIV/AIDS awareness.

"I understand this is his culture, not ours. But this was not such a big thing or so obscene for people to overreact in such manner," she told PTI last week.

"I understand people's sentiments, but I don't want a foreigner to take bad memories from here," PTI quoted her as saying.

Shetty, already well-known in India, became an international star after her appearance on the British reality show "Celebrity Big Brother" another controversial public appearance. A fellow contestant, Jade Goody, sparked international headlines by making allegedly racist comments to Shetty. Mobs took to the streets of India to denounce Goody, and Shetty went on to win the competition.

I strongly recommend you check out some of her work - though the girl-girl stuff can be boring at times.

If you want an all out(or rather, "all in") insane whoreslut, you can't go wrong with Hillary Scott or Kimberly Kane.

Richard Gere does this anywhere he goes, by just walking around!  (Can you say Moron? Sure, I knew that ya could!)

Speaking of which...

The Immigration Minister, Kevin Andrews, said yesterday that the 35-year-old US rapper, record producer and actor would be denied entry after failing a character test. ( ) This month Snoop Dogg (real name Calvin Broadus) pleaded no contest to felony gun and drug charges in the US.

"This man has been a member of a Los Angeles gang ... that's been involved in murder, robberies and drug dealing in the LA area," Mr Andrews told Macquarie Radio yesterday. "He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country."

The Dogg-father, who has signed up for a swag of hosting and performing duties at the awards, was to arrive in Sydney this morning with Sophie Monk, who will co-host the red carpet at the awards alongside the online gossip queen Perez Hilton.

Mr Andrews said the rapper would be given the opportunity to respond to the cancellation of his visa but his extensive criminal record meant he had failed the character test.

At a dress rehearsal for the awards at Acer arena yesterday, the managing director of MTV Australia, Dave Sibley, said he wasn't giving up on Snoop. "We are in a situation where we can supply more information to support our case," he said. "We are still campaigning to get him here."

Other overseas heavyweights due to perform at the show include Pink and Good Charlotte, alongside Australian acts including the Australian Idol leprechaun Damien Leith, Evermore and Silverchair, who yesterday won the first Australian Video Vanguard Award, a lifetime achievement award previously won by acts such as Madonna, Michael Jackson and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This is gonna sound gay, but I went to see at the theaters (these two broads forced me), and I kinda liked it. Mostly because Catherine Zeta Jones looked incredibly, perfectly hot....the way a woman should look. She's still no Sunny Leone though...

Moment or not, I didn't pass up a night out with my girlfriend & her best friend. It could have been a Chippendale show & I wouldn't have given a rat's ass.

She ain't bad.

She ain't bad.

Not at all. Ayshiwara Rai (sp?) is hot too. I went to the bank the other day and the teller had to be one of the most beautiful broads I've ever seen...and she was Indian. It's kinda odd how Indian chicks are either super gorgeous or really ugly. There really isn't any middle ground.
