Hey, did you know that Sharon Stone--political operative, smutty film actress--is still around? Even after Basic Instinct 2? Amazing, right? Well, Ms. Stone’s recent insightful thoughts on the reasons for the earthquakes and unthinkable human devastation in China have caused a few hypersensitive folks in China to take offense. Here’s what the naturally bottled blonde said in Cannes:
“I’ve been concerned about how should we deal with the Olympics, because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine,” she said.
"And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma - when you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?”

For some reason, these well-thought-out, impeccably articulated, and completely reasonable comments have set off a firestorm of controversy, and now a major Chinese cinema chain has banned the playing of any Sharon Stone film in any of his theatres in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing. A good move, because, really, haven’t the Chinese people suffered enough? I mean, even the Dalai Llama, Sharon Stone’s good friend, walked out of Catwoman.
For her part, Sharon Stone is not worried about the ban because she knows that her new movie, The Year of Getting to Know Us, will still be seen by more people in China than anywhere in the continental United States.
