Malaysia bans hit stripper movie 'Hustlers'


KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): Malaysia has banned the hit Jennifer Lopez (pic) movie "Hustlers", authorities said Friday, criticising the film about strippers as packed with "obscene content" not suitable for cinema-goers in the conservative country.

The star-studded movie -- billed as a female "wolf of wall street" -- is about how New York strippers turned the tables on wealthy businessmen during the financial crisis.
