Sharon Stone
Basic Instinct
star Sharon Stone has boobed after claiming the recent earthquake in China that killed 80,000 people was "karma".
Stone made the outlandish statement while being interviewed on the red carpet in Cannes this week.
When asked by a Chinese TV news reporter if she'd heard about the recent atrocity in China, she replied:
"Of course I have. Well you know at first I thought I'm not happy with the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans ... and I've been concerned with should we have the Olympics because they're not being nice to the Dalai Lama who's a good friend of mine.
"And then all this earthquake and stuff happened and I thought, 'Is that Karma, when you're not nice and the bad things happen to you?' "
Interesting perspective, Sharon.
I thought this woman was meant to have an IQ of 150, and a fully paid member of brain box club, Mensa?
Seriously, Stone puts notorious
foot-in-mouth merchant Prince Philip
in the shade with her embarrassing gaffe.
What goes around, comes around...
Winehouse attacks paparazzi
Amy Winehouse is definitely hitching a ride on some mood elevator.
One minute she's up, the next she's down and lower than a snake's belly.
A weepy Wino took a swing at photographers camped outside her home this week, after missing an appointment to see dreamboat hubby Blake Fielder-Civil in the nick.
After she was turned away from London's Pentonville Prison, Wino cried a river, got herself a taxi home and
on a few lens lizards.
Is Wino likely to ever sort her baggage out?

Woody starve? Yes he would
Woody Harrelson: "I want to starve for 40 days"
The
Natural Born Killers
actor says he'd like nothing better than to plonk himself on a remote island and eat nothing for 40 days - just to see how his tiny brain would cope under the conditions.
"I've always wanted to do it," he says.
"I know it's going to be really hard. But can you imagine it? Eating nothing for 40 days? Swimming and surfing every day in a remote place? Where does the mind go?"
Harrelson, 46, says he plans to make his dream a reality as soon as he has a break in his busy schedule, according to
The Sunday Times
Magazine.
Filthy liars
Lovebirds John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston have apparently been canoodling for longer than previously thought.
Pagesix.com reports that the two have been dating for at least three months, before deciding to 'out' their relationship.
A source says: "They'd been keeping it under wraps and hiding out together on their dates,"
"Then Jen realized it wasn't just a fling and decided to take it public."
Well, I'm appalled they kept their little tryst a secret from me for so long.
Honestly, you think you know someone...
Hogan's rough
Good blog, these Hogans are a waste of space.
As I
, the Hogan clan was involved in a car crash on Sunday in Florida.
Turns out it wasn't papa Hogan who was driving after all - it was daughter Brooke.
The spawn of stupid has just posted about the incident on her MySpace page.
In her virtual ramble she thanks her brother and crash victim John Graziano for reminding her to always wear a seat belt.
Seatbelts saved MY life today...
What happened to my brother and our friend John was horrible and very hard for both of our families. But I truly believe my brother and John saved My life and my best friends life.... I don't know if you heard, but my friend and I got into a really bad car accident today ourselves... As I turned on my car I clicked my seatbelt. As we pulled out onto the road, I looked over and realized my friend didn't have her seatbelt on. I reminded her to put it on and the minute she clicked it, a car crashed into us. It was a horrible car accident, one that most would be severely hurt in, but we had our seatbelts on and they kept us in tight. I have to thank my brother and my best friend John for teaching me an important lesson that saved our lives.
I know that because my family is under a microscope, the turn of unfortunate events are magnified and seem like they just keep on coming...And having everyone watching and commenting on our life is extremely hard. If I could stop it I would because it feels terrible. We try to stay away from it but can't help that its shoved in our faces. So please, if youre a supporter, please spread the good around cause its nice to have friends when things go awry. And for the haters, Im sure we're not the only ones you're hurting. I would hope people are never this mean to you because it makes things so much harder......You're human and so are we. Nothing different.
God Bless
Hey this is Brookes friend and passenger, I just wanted to say that Brooke basically saved my life by making me wear my seat belt ....She is such a great friend and a good person! You all should know that! check out what I have to say on my MySpace... I'm on her top friends : La♥La
I especially like the bit about her family being "under a microscope". Too right, they're the equivalent of some highly contagious bacteria swimming in a Petri dish. They're not human.
And proving that Brooke is all mouth and no action, she's since removed the above post from her page.
Cowards, the lot of them!
Weeping Madonna
Something deep inside me loved reading this tidbit about notorious ice queen Madonna.
Her Madgesty apparently wept with rage after a studio bust-up with producer
Pharrell Williams while recording her latest album,
Hard Candy
.
Madonna reveals, "Pharrell made me cry. You know when you get angry with someone and you're spitting snot. I was in a sensitive mood in the studio and I didn't understand the rhythm he wanted me to sing in, and he was giving me a hard time. I was taken back by how he was talking to me."
The two soon made up, however, and are now bosom pals.
"We went upstairs and I said, 'You can't talk to me like that,' and burst into tears. And he said, 'Oh my God, Madonna has a heart.' We had it out and now I love him and we make great music together," she adds.

Sticking with Madonna...
The soon-to-be 50 diva proclaimed on U.S. TV this week that she plans to respond to any age-related questions with a stern, "F*** you, I'm 50."
Obviously a touchy subject.
And...Madge is rumoured to have refused to pay her hotel bill in Cannes this week after a TV crew sneaked into her suite and filmed her toilet.
British tabloid
The Mirror
claims the star threw a hissy fit when she heard that footage of her suite at the Carlton Intercontinental was shown on French TV.
She apparently took particular umbrage to her throne being filmed. This is understandable, what with being a Queen and all.
Papa's gonna preach
Oh, Peaches Geldof, you're obviously a glutton for punishment.
It's been barely three weeks since daddy Sir Bob gave you a stern talking to after you were allegedly filmed buying drugs from a dealer, and now this.
that Peaches is in trouble again after news broke that she's been spending time with junkie Pete Doherty.
The pair has been hanging around together at a grimy East London flat, according to the newspaper.
And here's the worrying bit.
The pair supposedly disappeared into a bedroom together.
If I was a parent and my kid disappeared into Pete Doherty's bedroom for some "hush time", I'd be worried too.

Lovin' that man
Britney Spears looks like she's well on the road to recovery.
Comeback checklist:
Singing career back on track? Tick
Access to kiddies? Tick
A new man? Tick
Her
rumoured new bloke, Jason Trewick
, has apparently been given the seal of approval by Spears patriarch Jamie.
A source says: "Jamie thinks Jason would be a great match for Britney."

Quote of the day
"I'm happy doing what I'm doing right now. I'm a terrible actress. Everyone thinks I'm only friends with Tom and Katie to be in a movie but it's not true. I've turned down lots of roles." - Victoria Beckham

Hiding behind a blackened shroud and looking decidedly sniper-ish...Look

Name the shame
You sure do have a pretty name, ya'll!
Pregnant teen Jamie-Lynn Spears and her fiance Casey Aldridge are planning on naming their love child Emma Jean, according to reports.
The name is said to be a tribute to Spears' grandmother.
Emma Jean Aldridge...
Slightly trailer park-ish perhaps?
Here we go...
Lindsay Lohan's father has more or less said that he thinks he actress' relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson is far from platonic.
In an
, Michael Lohan says that his daughter's relationship with Ronson "is evident to anyone with half a brain."
He adds, "Just like the [topless] Marilyn Monroe spread, Linds is my daughter and there are just some things a father doesn't want to see or hear, regardless of whether they are true or false.
"[Lindsay] is a big girl, and she can make her own life choices. Then it is between her and God."
Meanwhile, the tabloids are swarming over Lindsay Lohan like flies to the brown stuff.
Rumour has it that a bidding war is going on for Lohan's "coming out" story.
See, sexuality is something that's potentially hugely profitable for the tabs...there's money in muck, as they say.
Here's the deal: does it really matter if Lindsay Lohan is actually gay or not? Would it change your opinion of her? Do we actually care?
On a slightly more serious note...
I am because we are
Madonna premiered her new documentary
I Am Because We Are
at the
in NYC last week.
Her doco documents the concern over the millions of orphans in the African country of Malawi who have lost parents and siblings to HIV and AIDS,
Here's the official trailer.
I know I'll get shot down in flames for this, but that clip moved me. I feel humbled, humiliated and grounded.
Could altruism be Madonna's ultimate reinvention?
