About
Sharon Stone |
|
Sharon Stone is one of Hollywood's
most famous and powerful actresses. She has appeared in Basic Instinct, The
Specialist, Total Recall, Casino, and Sphere. Screen siren, opinionated
diva, and one of the few actresses in Hollywood who can claim to be both a
Paul Verhoeven muse and a MENSA member, Sharon Stone is nothing if not a
legend in her own right. Beginning with her notorious disinclination to wear
underwear during a police interrogation in Basic Instinct, Stone went on to
become one of the most talked about actresses of the '90s, earning both
admiration and infamy for her on- and off-screen personae. Sharon did rise
well above to the status of one of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses
and sex symbols, but not without some flops along the way.
Sharon wakes up to husband Phil Bronstein, a newspaper editor who wed Sharon
on Valentine's Day 1998. The couple adopted a baby boy together in 2000,
named Roan Joseph Bronstein. This is the second marriage for Sharon, who was
previously married to associate producer Michael Greenburg from 1984 to
1987.
"Women might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake whole relationships."
-Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone's Birthday |
Sharon Stone was born on the March 10, 1958, in Meadville, Pennsylvania. The
second child of four (she has an older Michael, younger sister Kelly and
younger brother Patrick) to parents Joseph and Dorothy Stone.
Sharon's mother wanted her brilliant child (Sharon is said to have an IQ of
154) to rise beyond the small-town, blue-collar fate of her and her husband,
who were respectively a homemaker and Avon employee, and a factory worker.

Sharon Stone as Actress |
|
In
1980, Stone branched out into acting, making her screen debut as the "pretty
girl on train" in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories. Following this role, she
spent the '80s appearing in one forgettable film after another, often cast
as the stereotypical blonde bimbo. She finally got a break in 1990, when she
appeared as Arnold Schwarzenegger's kickboxing secret-agent wife in
Verhoeven's Total Recall. Any recognition she gained for that role, however,
was more than eclipsed by the notoriety she earned for her starring turn in
her second Verhoeven feature, Basic Instinct. The 1992 film, in which Stone
portrayed a bisexual author/sexual adventurer who may or may not be a serial
killer, did her a huge favor by making her a star but also a sizable
disservice by further typecasting her in blonde seductress roles. Stone's
subsequent effort, the erotic thriller Sliver (1993), was an example of
this: the actress attracted notice less for her acting than for her
willingness to simulate masturbation. Her role in the following year's The
Specialist was also fairly limiting -- an action flick co-starring Sylvester
Stallone, it called for Stone to run around in a tight dress in heels when
she wasn't seducing various characters.

| American Music Awards Mega Picture Post |

The American
Music Awards are useless. No one involved with them in any capacity is
an actual musician, so it doesn't matter who wins what. A singular
exception is made for Tenacious D who rocked the hizouse.
On a slightly more positive note, Jimmy Kimmel did a solid job as host,
but how hard can it really be when the music industry is already one big
joke.
That being said, award shows still bring out the famous ladies in fancy
dresses, and that's always enough to get posted on Egotastic! So sit
back, relax and get clicking, cuz this post will be way better than the
AMAs. Why? Because it's silent. |

Sharon Stone Won't Put Away Her Nipples |
As
much as we may want her to, it looks like Sharon Stone just isn't going
to let go of the belief that she is still sexy.
With Basic Instinct 2, Sharon Stone proved to everyone that she's past
her prime, and then some, but it looks like she'd still rather live in a
world where her delusions reign supreme.
Then again, if Sharon Stone really wants not to wear a see-through dress
that clearly exposes her nipples, who am I to spoil her fun? I mean,
that would just be cruel.

| Sharon Stone Says No to Basic Instinct 3 |
|
In
what is quite possibly the best news to come out surrounding the hype of
Basic Instint 2, Sharon Stone has said that she will not reprise her role of
Catherine Tramell in the next planned sequel: Basic Instinct 3. According to
Virgin News (ironically enough), Stone hopes to see her new co-star, David
Morrissey, carry on the franchise.
"I'm hoping David will carry the flag," she said.
"I'll just go to the movies to watch it and say: 'Yeah baby!'"
Stone also commented on the difficulty of recreating the success of the
original 1992 hit. "The un-crossing of the legs scenes with Michael Douglas
was a very impactful moment," she explained.
"I can't imagine that we're going to create a similar or groundbreaking
moment."
She continued, however: "The scene at the beginning with Stan Collymore is
very strong.
"The film makes an equally powerful and dangerous statement about my
character Catherine this time. She uses her sexuality in a dangerous way."
So why am I happy that Sharon Stone won't be in a third Basic Instinct film? |

The Sharon Stone Sex Scene You Won't See.
Hint: There's an Orgy |
According to Stuff.co.nz, a steamy sex scene - an orgy scene, in fact - from
Sharon Stone's steamy sequel to Basic Instinct will not be making it to
American theatres. The reason for the cut scene? Well, it seems that the
previous NC-17 rating would have prevented teenagers from being allowed to
see the movie.
It is a hard 'R' rated movie which means it includes strong sexuality,
nudity, violence, language and some drug content.
So I guess that makes it okay for teens, then. As long as they don't get any
ideas about orgies. Because teenagers would never think about orgies on
their own... Personally, I think teens should be allowed to see whatever
movies they want. It's not like they can't download it on the internet
anyway.
