The star of NBC TV show “Lipstick Judge,” Andrew McCarthy, had a harrowing experience while on assignment for the travel magazine AFAR recently, as he was escorted at gunpoint out of an historic underground church for intruding without documentation.

On the second day of his visit, having already witnessed an exorcism at the famed Lalibela church, McCarthy, 47, was accosted by a guard. The star of NBC’s “Lipstick Jungle” had bought a ticket to visit Lalibela, but had left it in his hotel.
