       Angry crowds in
            several Indian cities burned effigies of Richard Gere on
            Monday after he swept a popular Bollywood actress into his
            arms and       kissed her several times during an AIDS
            awareness event. Photographs of       the 57-year-old actor
            embracing Shilpa Shetty and kissing her on the       cheek
            at an HIV/AIDS awareness event in New Delhi were splashed
            across       Monday's front pages in India--a country
            where open discussion of sex and       public displays of
            affection are largely taboo. (AP)
