GLODS NO CLODS: Lawyers who filed a $30 million lawsuit against the makers of the hit movie ``Borat'' said Monday they would refile the suit after a judge told them they must make specific allegations if they want their case to have a chance at success.

The lawsuit alleges that residents of a remote Romanian village were duped into participating in what they thought was a documentary about poverty rather than the comedy, ``Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.''

The complaint in Manhattan was filed on behalf of two residents of Glod, a village whose Gypsies were used as stand-ins for Kazakhs in the movie. The lawsuit alleges that 20th Century Fox Film Corp. and others involved in the film exploited the plaintiffs and other Glod residents.
