I wonder where he keeps the gerbil cages?

Richard Gere’s Manhattan apartment. If you like it, it’s on sale for only $17.995 million.

NOTE: “. . . is better than you” is a Friday feature showcasing multi-million dollar celebrity homes in the hopes of generating feelings of jealousy, hatred, and animosity towards said celebrity. When you get down to the entertainment-dollar-spending core of it, you helped buy that home. Sucker!

An arrest warrant has been issued for actor Richard Gere after he publicly kissed the cheek of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty last week. According to the Press Trust of India, judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrant after receiving a complaint that the public display of affection “offended local sensibilities.” The actor faces up to three months in prison if convicted. AP reports:

Gupta earlier viewed television footage of the event, which he called “highly sexually erotic,” saying the pair violated India’s strict public obscenity laws. According to the judge “Gere and Shetty “transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society.” (Source)

Crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of Gere last week because they were so outraged at the kiss. Or maybe they were just disappointed with his performance in Dr. T and the Women (2000). Definitely one of those two.
