GERE'S HOTEL IS A MECCA FOR FEMALE FANS

RICHARD GERE's idyllic hotel has become a Mecca for middle aged fans obsessed with the movie heart-throb.
The actor opened the Bedford Post Inn last year (08), catering for an exclusive clientele and tucked away in a sleepy corner of upstate New York.
Gere didn't realise the hotel would become a magnet for fans - and he was shocked when he recently had to eject a coachload of trespassing tourists desperate for a glimpse of their idol.
On the recent encounter, he says, "They just kept walking towards me, waving and saying, 'We've come on the bus. We are from Monaco. Hello Richard.'
"They had gone past six 'do not enter' signs. They were the ladies' garden tour from Monaco and they wanted pictures."
