Sharon Stone fires back at diva reports

SHARON STONE's publicists have blasted reports the actress blew the lid off the budget for BASIC INSTINCT 2 with a list of crazy demands, insisting the star went out of her way to keep costs down.

The sequel was a huge flop when it opened in the US last month (MAR06) and now set sources are stirring up trouble for Stone by suggesting her diva-like antics ruined the film.

But her publicist insists reports of private jets, a 24 hour armed bodyguard and $3,500 (GBP2,000) daily spending money are ridiculous.

She says, "She (Stone) flew commercially with her assistant, nanny and children. The rest of the allegations are simply not true."

Yeah, she flew commercial in first class, while leaving her kid with the nanny back in steerage.

Okay... I'm probably going to ask a dumb question, but....

IMO having an assistant following you everywhere you go is already diva territory. The question is: what's the job of an assistant, what does she (he) do that the celeb couldn't do on her/his own?

Wipe your ass for you? Fetch and carry while bowing and scraping? Turn the magazine page? The possibilities are endless.

Okay, if the dingleberries are included I can see how this is necessary.

You can't possibly be expected to tweak your own nipples.

What the hell is "nipple tweaking"? Is that when someone makes sure they aren't "cross-eyed"???

The nipples in the J-Lo photograph were not erect; they were deflating,
and there was immense concern on the set, so a professional nipple
tweaker was flown in to give them a twist.

As for Sharon, it may have been her last attempt to be a diva
for quite some time.

Sharon Stone is ridicules and looks like a witch to boot, and her attitude seems pretty witchy. I would hate to be with her behind closed doors with her, she seems like the kind of person who screams lots if she doesn’t get her way…She makes me sick.

Wow! A professional nipple tweaker - I wonder how many years of college one needs for that? She should've just had somebody lick 'em and then blow on them, it always works for me!

No college, just extensive on the job training followed by a lengthy apprenticeship.

The Smoking Gun has a copy of Sharon's demands(naturally! Gotta love them for that!).

"The five-page document, a copy of which you'll find below, details Stone's assorted demands, from Pilates equipment and a $3500/week per diem to armed bodyguards and a prohibition against on-set cigar smoking. Along with a chauffeured car piloted by a non-smoking driver approved by Stone, the actress also demands a convertible sedan for personal use. Then there's the three nannies, two assistants, cell phones, pagers, presidential suite, first-class travel (in the absence of a private jet), chef, and the deluxe motor home with air conditioning, heating, bed, private bathroom, shower, TV, VCR, refrigerator, telephone, stove, couch, stereo, and cellular fax machine. And, unless the items have been rented, Stone also gets to keep jewelry and wardrobe pieces worn during filming. However, based on today's reviews, it seems Stone's "Basic Instinct 2" clothing haul was limited to negligees, thongs, and dental floss."
