KEY POINTS:

UPDATED: Sharon Stone

's basic mothering instincts have come under fire, after it was revealed that she wanted her eight-year-old son to get botox injections - to stop his feet from smelling.

The hilarious claim has been revealed in court papers obtained by a gossip website, following Stone's failed custody battle with her ex

.

She's back in the gaffe game

The tabloid-friendly former screen siren is back in the headlines again, as a result of her uncanny knack for opening her cake-hole and releasing red-faced word babies.

Last week we heard how a judge decided Shazza's request for full custody of her eldest son, Roan, should be denied.

The judge opted to give Shazza's ex-husband, Bronstein (you remember, that bloke who had his

foot nibbled

by a giant lizardy thing a few years ago) sole custody of their adopted son.

Gossip website TMZ.com is now reporting some rather juicy details about Stone's request to gain custody of her son - the most shocking of which is the claim that she "is an alarmist parent who has gone off the deep end over and over".

Basically, the stink stems from Shazza's renewed request for her son Roan to move from Marin County in Northern California, where he lives with his father, Bronstein, to be with her in L.A. - a request which has so far been rejected by the judge presiding over the case.

The court has just released what it calls a "Tentative Statement of Decision". And despite being a highly confidential and 'sensitive' document, several gossip websites have managed to get their mitts on a copy.

Among other things, the document reveals, "Mother [Stone] appears to overreact to many medical issues involving Roan.

"Mother alleged Roan had a spinal condition," the judge noted in the doc. "There was no evidence to support this allegation."

Basic botox instinct

Then there's this doozy: "Mother suggested that Roan should have

to resolve a problem he had with

foot odour

. As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the odor problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child."

The Superior Court papers also said Stone "delegates many of her parenting responsibilities to third parties" and has "simply refused" to participate in counseling unless her "schedule is accommodated and her demands are met."

Overall, Cruella de Stone is painted as a rather neurotic creature, whose parenting is seemingly under question.

"Father has championed for Roan's well-being out of, what appears to this Court, nothing less than the unconditional love for his son. Unfortunately, and for unexplained reasons, it appears that Mother did not involve herself to the extent she could or should have in this process ... Mother has attempted to put up roadblocks to Roan's getting help, or has decided against participating in his care."

It's also revealed that Shazza argued that she put her career on hold for her son, but the judge bit right back, "If Mother has, in fact, limited her career to make herself available for Roan, she has done little to make this evident to Roan, his school or this Court."

Miaow!

No sweat...

So Shazza wanted to pass on the red carpet tradition of injecting your sweaty bits with botox to avoid embarrassing eyesores

. Get them while they're young, eh.

But still, the kid's only eight, and far too young to be initiated to the survival techniques of Hollywood's sweateratti.

No word as yet from Shazza's mouthpiece.

British tabloid the

Sunday Mirror

reports that Mucca had booked a premium economy ticket on the flight - but requested a club class ticket when she arrived at check-in.

Word is Mucca was left suitably red faced when airline staff presented her with a big fat NO.

A snitch says: "Heather was muttering about not being upgraded which, if she'd still been Sir Paul's wife, she might have been.

"She seemed to think she would still be entitled to VIP treatment, but it seems the airline had other thoughts.

"She was with another woman, telling her how she was giving away most of the money she got in the divorce. The implication was that, contrary to what people think, she isn't made of money."

That's right, shoo the ligger back to cattle class where she belongs! Hear that economy? That's the sound of stainless steel cutlery and champagne corks popping in first class.

It's Britney, y'all!
