Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct sequel appears to be have been a risk not worth taking after notching up seven nominations at next month's (24Feb07) Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture and Worst Actress Of The Year...." ".....Stone - who has previously won the Razzie for Worst Actress for The Specialist and Intersection - earns another mention for her "lopsided breasts" in the category for Worst Screen Couple. The awards' founder, John Wilson, says, "She's what we call a Razzie repeat offender. Perhaps even a recidivist."

It's Pop Culture Update time and folks, Princess Di…the driver was drunk, the tunnel was dangerous, they had on no seatbelts and were going on almost 100 mph. Time to put on our common sense hats and look into what might be behind this constant attempt to blame the wayward princesses' death on conspiracies. Jennifer Aniston caught topless again, Sharon Stone causes an international incident and yes, the guy really got drunk and fell asleep on the railroad tracks.

Sharon Stone Blasts Bush on AIDS Sharon Stone took no prisoners Thursday night in her opening remarks at the annual Cinema Against AIDS dinner in Cannes. Speaking before several hundred of the wealthiest people in the world, Stone — a vision in white linen with a Medusa’s nest of blond hair extensions — opened the 25th annual AmFar dinner with a thunderbolt against President Bush. “Our president has spent $167 million on abstinence programs,” she said. “And zero dollars on sex education. Zero dollars on teaching about safe sex.” Her remarks, part of an impassioned plea, were met with thunderous...

Yes, Sharon Stone looks great (remarkable, actually, for a 49 year old star) but her breathy, melodramatic line readings and shameless mugging verge on self-parody. This time, the glamorous crime novelist is implicated in a series of sexual murders in London, but to keep things confused the plot (never definitively resolved) suggests at least three alternate killers. The original BS (Basic Instinct) worked as a sleazy, guilty pleasure because Michael Douglas’s sympathetic police detective felt more than mere lust (with elements of protective love) for a strong, fascinating woman who might, conceivably, be wrongly accused. This time, the character looks...

The last time "Basic Instinct" man-eater Catherine Tramell prowled the big screen, the studio erotic thriller was hitting box office heights. The first "Instinct" took the top spot when it debuted in 1992, with an opening weekend of $15.1 million, the equivalent of $20.45 million in today's dollars. By comparison, "Basic Instinct 2" limped into 10th place upon its arrival this weekend, grossing just $3.2 million. In the years between the two films, a string of high-profile flops, including MGM's "Body of Evidence," United Artists' "Showgirls" and Paramount Pictures' "Jade," have all contributed to the cooling off of the erotic...

"I think Hillary Clinton is fantastic. But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd, but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power and I don't think people will accept that. It's too threatening." Sharon Stone speaking of Hillary Clinton. Quote taken from "Hollywood Life" magazine. This statement is wrong on so many levels; allow me to deconstruct Sharon Stone's remarks. Hillary doesn't have the sexual allure to keep her hubby from straying, her sexual reservoir dried up some time during the Nixon administration. To argue...

Sharon Stone never fails to grab a headline when she wants to. In the latest attempt to get her name in the news to promote her upcoming film Basic Instinct 2. The actress proclaims that teenagers should practice more oral sex. A report from the United Kingdon says that the 48-year old actress believes that teenagers should be prepared to engage in oral sex, if it saves from them the dangers of an overly aggressive individual that is pushing them to engage in intercourse. She explains, "I was in the store the other day and I watched a young girl...

Sharon told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I think my performance has held up. The film and the character don't stay with you because of the nudity. "That scene doesn't have impact because a woman uncrosses her legs, but because I'm good in it."

Fifteen years after posing for Playboy magazine, Sharon Stone is poised to do it again at age 47. A friend of the actress said, 'Sharon is sizzling, and Playboy has noticed. And she has been asked to pose again before she hits age 50.'The details have yet to be worked out, but if Stone accepts she will flaunt her curves in a tropical location.'Sharon thinks it would be very sexy to pose in the sand,' the friend said.The reported offer comes as Stone is reprising her role as the sensual Catherine Trammell in 'Basic Instinct 2.'

CAMP PENDLETON – "Rockin' the Corps" was billed as a star-studded, patriotic event to thank 55,000 Marines and sailors whose San Diego units have suffered the highest casualty rates in Iraq and Afghanistan. But with the outdoor concert being broadcast to U.S. military installations worldwide, it felt more like a celebration of courage and perseverance. Former NBA all-star Karl Malone kicked off the evening by donating $100,000 to the Marine Corps. Then longtime rocker Ted Nugent played "The Star-Spangled Banner" a la Jimi Hendrix as some Marines stood at attention. Throughout the night, many in the crowd described the free...

Rosie the Riveter has given way to Sally the Sniveler. During World War II, young Rose Will Monroe was the face of American women in adversity: strong, supportive, and resolute against the enemy forces that threatened our existence. Tens of thousands like Rosie rolled up their sleeves, gritted their teeth, and flexed their muscles in factories and shipyards and arsenals across the country. They made rockets and rifles and bombs and boats. They painted and drilled and welded. When they got home to their kids, they cooked and cleaned and collapsed in bed after praying for their husbands and brothers...

Sharon Stone blames US President George W Bush for the absence of a lesbian kissing scene in Catwoman - because of the current conservative climate in America. Basic Instinct star Stone, 46, was keen to enjoy an intimate moment with Oscar-winning co-star Halle Berry, but believes a puritanical streak running through the country put an end to any potential girl-on-girl action. Stone says: "Halle's so beautiful and I wanted to kiss her. I said, 'How can you have us in the movie and not have us kiss? That's such a waste.' "That's what you get for having George Bush...

Sharon Stone as Hillary Clinton? Clinton thinks she could do worse. "She is a beautiful woman," New York's Madame Senator said Monday when we asked her what she made of the speculation that the "Basic Instinct" star might play her in an A&E movie about Hillary's life. True, there were rumors about her husband's admiration for the actress. But then, as Sen. Clinton pointed out, "I don't have any say over" casting. Would Hillary be game to have her instant best-selling memoir, "Living History," optioned by Hollywood? "I'm just trying to focus on the book," she said with a laugh....

BAGHDAD (AFP) Apr 12, 2003 A secret tunnel leads underground from the main administration block to a prison where exposed electrical wires run from wall sockets to a bench in the interrogation room. The walls of cells which housed up to eight prisoners are scribbled with prayers and calendars indicating time spent inside, written in Arabic, Hebrew and even Chinese. Solitary confinement is standing room only and shared with toilet plumbing. The small bathrooms, remaining blankets, prison garb and plastic buckets are filthy. Plaster and paint is peeling off in large sheets and all around are posters, paintings and...
