Sharon Stone

[Ginger]

Isn't she supposed to have a genius I.Q?

According to her. And even if it's true, it's a big "so what" considering the vase stupidity that comes out of her mouth constantly.

Seriously, nobody should listen to anything she says. She's been creating her own myth since before she was even famous.

I remember in Richard E. Grant's book "With Nails", he describes meeting Sharon in 1989 in Rome. He basically says she was obnoxiously in need of attention all the time. (Nothing's changed!) And she subjected him to the story of how she got that scar on her neck, but he didn't include it in the book because she told three different stories to other people & he didn't know which one was true. (My guess: none.)

She used to claim she was a member of Mensa, but I think the president or a publicist for them said it wasn't true. She finally admitted she'd never been a member.

OT: I absolutely adore this book -- bought a copy for a couple of bucks at the local publisher's-warehouse-type bookstore and enjoyed the hell out of it.

I remember those Mensa claims—hysterical. (Slightly OT: Thanks, Sunnyhorse; I need an enjoyable book to work on next.)

She's nuts. Totally and completely kah-ray-zeee. Though I'm sure all those people who died in China hated Tibet and the Dalai Lama, so yay! karma!

She and Jenna Elfman should get together.

I definitely think there is a wire loose there somewhere. I think I posted this somewhere quite a while ago (maybe even on FT) -- I saw an interview with her when Casino had just come out. She was rhapsodizing about what a thrill it was for her to be able to work with Martin Scorces. She was describing how she was so eager to soak up his wisdom and advice. At one point she said:

"In between scenes I was following him around! I was, like, 'Marty! Marty' How did that scene go?' Then five minutes later I was following him around going, "Marty! Marty! Do you think I should have played that differently?' Then I was all like following him around going 'Marty! Marty? In the next scene how do you think I should approach it?'"

Except it was more than that -- She was basically repeating the same stuff over and over again to the point where the interviewer was holding up her hands for mercy and saying, "Okay, okay, I get the idea!"

There was just something kind of manic about it. She could simply have said in a humorous way, "Wow, I really badgered Martin Scorces for imput!" but instead she was spastically trying to recreate the scenario, like she couldn't shut her mouth off, or like she thought the audience just wouldn't get it until she'd repeated it 2 dozen times. I recall thinking, "There's something not right with this woman..."

"There's something not right with this woman..."

That's an understatement.
