It’s Been One Rocky Road For Neo-Sex Starlet Stone
Yes, folks, there really is less to Sharon Stone than we imagined. But talent is one thing. Sensitivity is something else.
In Esquire magazine, she poses for a cover headline that asked the question, “Are you man enough for this woman?” And inside she talks less than nicely about some of her main sex-symbol competition.
Re. Demi Moore in “Disclosure”: “I’m told she suddenly has very large bosoms. Actually, that’s the only thing I’ve heard about the movie.”
Re. Madonna: When told that the pop diva reportedly wants to kiss her, Stone said, “Why? Because I’m the only one she hasn’t done it to?”
Re. Jodie Foster: “She’s become a babe! I’m very thrilled to see her blossoming in that realm.”

He’s reliable and all that…. He shows up, he sings good. Who needs that?”
Welcome to the Simpson network, all day, every day
Denise Brown, sister of the murdered Nicole Simpson Brown, is preparing for the lecture circuit. “I’ve been asked to speak at luncheons and dinners,” she says. Her intention, though, is not simple self-promotion. “I’m not really used to being so vocal, but I have to do this,” she says. “It’s my mission, not only for Nicole, but for all battered women.”
They are, after all, a girl’s best friend
Of that Life magazine spread that features Michelle Pfeiffer lounging about in some $300 million in Smithsonian jewels, the actress had a cinematically appropriate response. “I could get used to this,” she said.
