When Holly Kisses Bolly
Hold the gerbil jokes.
An Indian court issued an arrest warrant for Richard Gere today, accusing the Hollywood actor of kissing Shilpa Shetty, the Bollywood actress, in a manner that "transgressed all limits of vulgarity". ... Crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of Gere, 57, after he embraced 31-year-old Shetty and planted several kisses on her cheek in front of thousands of onlookers at the Aids awareness function in the Indian capital New Delhi earlier this month.
If I'm laughing, it's not because I'm amused by Hindu fundamentalists throwing hissy fits over a playful kiss on a woman's cheek. It's just that I'm picturing U.S. State and Justice Department officials collapsing in convulsions of mirth after receiving an extradition order for Gere.
It could be the best document that the Smoking Gun ever lays its hands on.
