The Celebrity Woes of the Week

This week has not been a good one for some celebrities. While some have had a good, freeing week (with both Clay Aiken and Lindsay Lohan admitted their true sexuality), others have suffered emotional and physical setbacks. Poor Jeffrey Ross suffered a torn cornea during practice on “Dancing with the Stars” and was the first celebrity eliminated. That’s okay, the Friar’s Club needs him much more as a roast master general than America needs him as a dancer. Sharon Stone lost a custody battle with her ex this week. Her oldest son, Roan, has been living with his father, newspaper … Continue reading

Sharon Stone Apologizes for“Karma” Comment

Is it something in the water? This week, more so than usual, there seems to be an overabundance of celebrities who are opening practicing the old “mouth and inserting foot” technique. After Hulk Hogan and family spoke ill of the young man gravely injured in a car wreck in which their son was driving, now Sharon Stone has said maybe the Chinese are just getting what was coming to them.

Prior to her lot going up Madonna warned the crowd … Continue reading

A Million Dollar Kiss

Okay, maybe it didn’t cost that much, but I’m sure it felt like it was worth as much. After all, it was a kiss by George Clooney. The hunky “Ocean’s Thirteen” co-star was put on the auction last night (or at least his lips were) at a charity event benefiting AIDS research. According to news reports, the actor along with his friends and castmates Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia and Ellen Barkin made a brief appearance at the annual Cinema Against AIDS dinner to auction off a seven-day Mediterranean getaway on a private boat. That’s when auction host Sharon … Continue reading

Sharon Stone: American Beauty Rose

Sharon Vonne Stone was born on March 10, 1958, to Irish-American parents in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Her strict father was a factory worker and her mother a homemaker. She was the second of four children (she has two brothers and one sister), and extremely bright, entering the State University of Pennsylvania at the age of 15. Her IQ is 154, and she was told at an early age that she would fare very well as an attorney. Her first love, however, was the black and white cinema of bygone eras. She loved Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and was mesmerized by … Continue reading
