Last week, Pakistan’s Minister of Tourism got in trouble for hugging a “foreign man” (her skydiving coach). She faces fatwas and calls for her dismissal.

Guess Richard Gere must have missed those stories, because now he’s in hot water for his PDAs with Indian actress Shilpa Shetty.

Actor Richard Gere has sparked protests in India after kissing Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty at an Aids awareness rally in New Delhi.

Demonstrators in Mumbai (Bombay) set light to effigies of the Hollywood star, while protesters in other cities shouted “death to Shilpa Shetty”.

The protesters said Gere insulted Indian culture by kissing the hand and face of the Bollywood actress.

Next time, do your homework, Dick. Over there, your lips could cost you your head.
