Stone Offers Kisses for Mideast Peace
1 hour, 17 minutes ago
TEL AVIV, Israel - Sharon Stone is ready to do her part for Mideast peace: The "Basic Instinct" actress said Wednesday she "would kiss just about anybody" to end the Israel-Arab conflict.
She arrived in Israel on Tuesday for a five-day trip sponsored by the Peres Center for Peace, founded by Nobel Peace laureate Shimon Peres in 1996 to improve relations with Arabs. It's her first visit to the Holy Land.
Stone, joined by Peres at a news conference, said she couldn't solve the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, but could use her fame to help encourage peace efforts.
"I would kiss just about anybody for peace in the Middle East," she said, drawing laughter from a throng of Israeli reporters. Stone playfully turned down calls to give Peres a peck on the cheek.
Noting it was International Women's Day, Stone suggested that more women become involved in the male-dominated world of Mideast peace talks. Women consider thoughts and feelings more than men, she said.
"I think (men and women) need to be a team. We were meant to be a team," she said.
During her visit, Stone planned to play soccer with a mixed group of Israeli and Palestinian children, visit Israeli hospitals that care for Palestinian children and celebrate her 48th birthday Friday with a gala to raise funds for children's educational and health projects.
Stone was nominated for an Oscar for her role in 1995's "Casino."
Her upcoming film, "Basic Instinct 2," is due for release March 31.
Naked in her next movie? Yep, says Sharon Stone Naked, no, have to wear a burka if you're kissing terrorists.
Good. Kiss my @%$&ing ass, Sharon.
It wouldn't make any difference at all for the problems in the Middle East but it might increase the level of goodwill on earth about 0.00000000001%. Every little bit helps.
Arbor Day.
President Garfield's Birthday.
Half a sandwich.
An 8-Track cartridge of Bay City Rollers (Greatest Hits).
A nickel.
One of your grandfather's support socks. (Unwashed.)
A week's worth of accumulated bellybutton lint.
Free roadkill.
maybe she could negotiate with Hamas while wearing a mini-burqa.
Is she peddling a line of handbags?
Kind of has a Rachel Corrie look to it. That kid looks to be about 5 years too old to be sucking his thumb.
This is the dim bulb that claims to have cured her cancer (never diagnosed by a doctor) by meditating and giving up coffee.
FYI Sharon, lots of women get lumps in their breasts that go away with the elimination of caffine and stress reduction.
Dumb as *stone*.
Heck, I'll boink Zeta-Jones for world peace.
She has the intelligence of Rachel Corrie..
