Sharon Vows To Endure, And That’s Written In Stone

In the current issue of GQ, Sharon Stone bares it all - again. Figuratively speaking, of course.

The 37-year-old movie star, who until now has made a total of one interesting movie (that being, what else?, “Basic Instinct”), is unaccountably still riding her 15 minutes long after the alarm sounded.

Perhaps she does it with mirrors. Mirrors, after all, are an actress’ best friend.

As she told GQ, she stepped out of the shower one day and took a long look at herself.

“THIS is 37?” she crowed. “I can go a lot longer than you think. If I have to diet, I’m gonna diet. If I have to work out, I’m gonna work out. If I have to sleep upside down like a bat so I don’t look like a Basset hound, that’s what I’m gonna do. Because I’M NOT LEAVING!”

Loose talk

Conan O’Brien on the furor over World Series team names: “A group of Native-Americans protested before tonight’s Cleveland Indians game. It turns out they’re not offended by the logo, they just don’t want to be associated with Cleveland.”

And Mrs. Brown still has a lovely daughter

Peter Noone turns 48 today.

And this, believe us, isn’t just another stupid human trick

The end may be near for David Letterman. “I think more than likely we will stay here through the contract, and then that’ll be it for us,” the latenight host told the New York Daily News. “Unless something dramatic happens, this is probably our last hurrah.” Letterman’s contract with CBS obligates him for the next four years.

Yeah, it may bomb by selling only a million or three

Garth Brooks is worried. “To be honest with you, because we haven’t had an album out or a ticket on sale, I don’t know what two years off has done to us,” he told the Nashville Tennessean. His new album, “Fresh Horses,” is due out Nov. 21. Up to now, Brooks has sold more than 54 million albums.

Instead of Broadway, it should have played on Sunset Blvd.

The Broadway play “Indiscretions,” which stars Kathleen Turner, was set to close on Saturday. It looks to be one of Broadway’s all-time biggest nonmusical bombs. It managed 249 performances, but losses totaled some $2 million. The show had nine Tony nominations.

Blockbuster should just show the 17-minute version

According to Daily Variety, the folks at Blockbuster are attempting to see if a judicious editing process can make the NC-17 “Showgirls” something that its 4,300 family-values video stores can stock. A Blockbuster spokesman, Mike Caruso, denied the report “at present.”

Imagine that, the Jackson-Presley marriage may be void

The word now is that the Michael Jackson/Lisa-Marie Presley marriage is invalid. For legal reasons. “A Current Affair” reports that, among other things, the Dominican Republic magistrate who performed the ceremony was outside his jurisdiction, and the couple didn’t make an official request to the U.S. Consulate as required.
