"Vulgar" Richard Gere -- India's Most Wanted
Richard Gere is in even more hot vindaloo over that public kiss he planted on a Bollywood star last week.
Today, an Indian court issued a warrant for his arrest, and now Gere could face up to three months in prison for his PDA if convicted.
Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in Jaipur, according to the Press Trust of India, saying that Gere and actress Shilpa Shetty "transgressed all limits of vulgarity" during their appearance at an HIV/AIDS event, captured on tape. Judge Gupta also called the TV footage "highly sexually erotic," and slammed Shetty for not resisting Gere's "advances."
As we showed you last week, angry Indian throngs have burned Gere in effigy to protest the incident, though Shetty has defended Gere's behavior.
It's not clear what Gere plans to do in response, though he's been a frequent visitor to India to support a number of health and social causes.
Gere, through his rep, had no statement to make.
