I was prepared to criticize Sharon Stone’s outfit for her appearance at the screening of Behind the Burly Q last night. But I actually like, sort of. It’s age appropriate, with a twist. The twist being the rather awesome fishnet tights and the leather gloves. Yes, her face looks… worked on, but it’s not like Demi Moore’s, you know? It’s not like Sharon has an entirely new, smooth, line-less face. Sharon has lines. And they look good and natural, and yet… still her face looks “fresh”. Anyway, I think it was a good appearance.
In additional Sharon news, you know how she always shows up at the Cannes Film Festival to hostess the big annual AmFar gala? She’s been hostessing the thing for years, but Roger Friedman got the scoop that Sharon wasn’t even invited to Cannes this year! This really is a scandal:
Here’s a shocker: after raising $290 million over the last several years as cheerleader extraordinaire, Sharon Stone will not be at this year’s AmFar Cinema Against AIDS gala in Cannes.
Sharon confirmed for me last night that AmFar simply didn’t invite her this year. “So I took a movie,” she said. “I had to get back to my career anyway.”
Stone will be in Thailand filming “The Burma Conspiracy” when the AmFar dinner occurs on May 20th at the Hotel du Cap in Antibes, France. Prior to this she hasn’t missed a Cinema Against AIDS dinner since it began. Her participation in the live auction is credited for raising $290 million.
“The show,” as she calls it, has been the main attraction for rich Europeans and Arabs who traveled to Cannes just to meet Stone and see her cajole millions out of celebrities and billionaires.
But two years ago, Stone’s “show” was considered over the top and some members of the AmFar board complained about it. Last year, Stone’s participation was limited to speaking just about the late Natasha Richardson. Professional auctioneer Jamie Niven took her place, although Stone’s presence was still the draw.

Yes, I remember hearing various stories about Sharon’s antics at Cannes, and how she would go the extra mile to get money out of people, all the while keeping all of the attention on her, of course. Could it be that AmFar was just tired of Sharon’s crazy diva behavior, even if it raised money for them? I don’t know.
Lastly, Entertainment Weekly had a little preview of Sharon’s upcoming 4-episode arc on Law & Order: SVU. Her character used to a be a cop, and she used to be Stabler’s partner. What the…?
Sharon Stone joins Law & Order: SVU on April 28 as assistant district attorney Jo Marlowe, a former cop who shares a history with Stabler. “She trained him when he was a rookie,” explains executive producer Neal Baer. “He finds out she’s the new ADA and goes, ‘Oh, man.’” In addition to possessing a wry sense of humor, Stone’s prosecutor — who will stick around for four episodes — has a knack for saying “the right wrong things,” notes Baer. “She asks Benson if she’s ever slept with Stabler. Benson’s like, ‘What? He’s married.’ Her response is, ‘Yeah…so?’”
[From EW]
Ugh. SVU has jumped the shark. Why are they doing this revolving door of ADAs? All of them suck too. Realistically, wouldn’t it be relatively easy to find some crusading women’s and children’s rights lawyer who wanted to be the SVU prosecutor? I miss that ADA from last year, the pretty blonde who was trying to make rape a hate crime.

Sharon’s face does still look good. Whatever she’s doing or having done is working for her.
I too remember hearing that she was obnoxious at that fundraiser. They’ve probably elected to go with someone else who won’t bully people into giving money, and someone new who might bring in new donors. After all, how many times does one need to see Sharon Stone?
She looks awesome, I have to admit.
She looks fabulous! Sharon should be referring her plastic surgeon to the rest of Hollywood.
she looks like madonna’s sister here.
Well, she’s still a little funny around her eyes, but she can’t deny going under the knife anymore. Just like Catherine Zeta Jones can;t lie about her age anymore.
LOVE the shoes. LOVE. I agree, she’s somehow nailed kinky in an age-appropriate way.
@RHONYC – yes, but unfortunately for Madonna, Sharon looks like her YOUNGER sister.
LOVE that dress, she wears it well. Yes her face has been altered but it looks good.
most of the time she seems crazy, but here it appears she’s got it together. meds regulated? love the gloves and nets.
I love her, and I love that she has gloves and nets. But only her.
she looks good……
@ Q: Madonna’s younger sister! LOL! True…
She looks fabulous. Sure she’s a little wacky, but I’ve always thought she was hot. What was the last (good) thing she acted in though? I miss her!
Love the whole outfit…she’s so sassy!
I agree though that her face is looking a little strange…obvious she’s had it tweaked a bit.
She looks great, but I still think she’s got a first class ticket on the crazy train.
I think she looks great with a combination of good surgeons AND good genes. She got lucky on that front.
She looks great. And while I’d never want to really deal with her, I have to admit I enjoy her crazy bitch-ness.
And I love everything about that outfit except the collar of the dress–it’s a little Barbra Bush-y… maybe it could stand to be lowered 2-3 inches?
Still, she looks antastic.
I like it.
Hiding her old lady hands I see…
whenever is see an actress wearing gloves like that i think of patsy’s comment in absolutely fabulous: “you know why she’s wearing gloves? liver spots, sweetie…”
Actually, I do think she might be sharing practitioners with Demi – their faces have a similarity about the cheeks and eyes. And right on, Maritza; that new face won’t sell with her veiny talons bobbling at the ends of her arms, haha
that outfit is hot. i want it.
Am I seeing what everyone else is seeing? She looks terrible – so fake! The nose, the cheeks, and the lips – she looks nothing like herself!
I’m glad she is finally showing some lines (they showed more in pics on Laineys blog). I knew how old she was & yet she always looked perfect! (Bugged me a lot more than Demi – everyone pretty much knows what she’s had done.) Not sure why her agelessness bothered me so much but it did.
SVU has jumped the shark repeatedly in the last couple of years. It used to be my favorite L&O but it got to be so stupid.
Even though she’s batshit crazy, Sharon has a great sense of style. She’s so beautiful, I hope she stops messing with her face. I like the outfit.
She looks like Lauren Bacall a little here, especially in the first photo. She should cut her hair again.
nothing to add, just in agreement with the general populace on this- she looks good, like the style..still a crazee beeoytch.
Looks good but “who is that” was the first thing that came to mind. She’s barely recognizable.
I don’t think she looks like herself at all — my first thought seeing the picture was “OMG Sharon Stone has hit the knife”. Those eyebrows were lifted!!!!
Not loving her outfit either……
Totally agree that she is crazy acting though…..
She looks good…
**Hello Sarah Jessica? It’s Sharon. Want to borrow my gloves to cover up your veiny terminator claws? Oh, and does Matthew need my fishnets for later? ‘Kay bye!*
Outfit looks amazing… but who is that?? I mean, really… who is that? It doesnt even look like Sharon Stone.
She looks like Faye Dunaway. They cannot get enough of plastic surgery!
What did she do to her face? She was beautiful before. What makes these women mutilate themselves with this awful plastic surgery? I really don’t get it. Do they feel better about themselves if they’re transformed into animated alien characters?
I agree though that her face is looking a little strange…obvious she’s had it tweaked a bit.
I believe this web site contains very fantastic written content material content .
Wow, she is still a fox in my book.

That was a freaking highlarious set of replies! I think the best we’ve ever had here, it even jumps the shark for celebitchy!
I guess it more suitable if she wear some fitting leather corset. This is an interesting conversation.
Not so sure about gloves over the elbow, but that dress is just fabulous, certainly much finer in person — flashes drown out details on black. Any chance Cheap Sally has a discount code so a frugalista could turn fashionista overnight?
She looks natural, mature and fresh. Leather gloves and fishnets suit her style. She has honed her acting abilities to become a very versatile actress.
C’mon, she’s 54, even though it’s not that easy
to tell her age; she still remains a beautiful and
attractive woman for her age. Yes, I also loved
the leather opera gloves, they gives an elegant
and feminine look…
