Okay so I was watching some Kathy Griffin(sp?) stand up I think it was when I was flipping through channels. Anyways, I heard her tell this story about how she was at this charity event and Sharon Stone got up on stage and started doing this emotional speech that went something like “I once heard a wise wise man say…‘Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy if you try’” And she proceeded to recite the entire lyrics of what is potentially the most famous John Lennon song ever. Later I was browsing through [gofugyourself.com](http://gofugyourself.com) and there was a picture of her and she looked about 25 years older than she actually is. Leathery and insane. Not to mention Basic Instinct 2 is glorified porn from what I hear. So I mean has this woman straight up lost her mind? I want stories! I am fascinated in this mental downward spiral. Am I the last one to realize that she’s lost it? Let me know what you’ve heard! ---

She read the lyrics of John Lennon’s “Imagine” in a speech. And there are photos where she looks old. So that means she’s insane. ---

I remember seeing her interviewed when she first came to Hollywood and way before she was a star. I believe it was on Larry King. Frankly, I was mesmerized by her. She was beautiful and very intelligent, well spoken and seemed to really have her head screwed on straight. Here we are 15 or 20 years later and just the other night I remember explaining to my daughter what a washed up, disappointing, narcissistic piece of trash Sharon Stone has become. I have no idea if all the stories about her whorishness are true, although there certainly are scads of them. It’s more just a general revulsion for me anytime now that I see her giving another interview. She’s just… gross. ---

[/QUOTE] Bwhaa… as a curious five year old she wanted to know what the “hubris” word was I’d shared with my wife. That turned into a values discussion in which Tom Cruise and Paris Hilton played supporting roles to Ms. Stone. Sometimes the path from a to b can be best described not as circuitous, but tortuous instead. ---

This may also be an East Coast thing, but when I think of hubris, I think of Odysseus or Winston Churchill invading Gallipoli. But Tom Cruise? OTOH, I suppose “wanker” isn’t a word you want to use around a young child. ---

When I saw her interviewed on the Daily Show, I wondered if that was really her. She looked too good to be Sharon Stone and she was acting very strange, as was Stewart. ---

I think if I were at a black tie charity event and someone recited the lyrics to Imagine in a way that was supposed to be serious and moving, I would think something is definately wrong with them. I mean thats bizarre. And she didn’t look just old. She looked like she was turning into the queen on the underworld ---

She wants to make _Basic Instinct 3_. With that in mind, check out [the IMDb’s business page for _Basic Instinct 2_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430912/business). Case closed. ---

Kathy’s story is way better than the OP puts forth- especially when Rosie O’Donnell gets involved. ---

Don’t forget [this](http://www.postchronicle.com/news/entertainment/tittletattle/article_21212123.shtml) little gem. So she sees a girl trying on clothes in a department store and, when the mother strikes her as a little prudish in her fashion preferences, _takes the girl aside to give her an impromptu advice session on sex._ First of all, what parent doesn’t encourage their kids to dress less provocatively?! Secondly, ah, excuse me faded actress most famous for showing her cooter in a crappy suspense film. Do I make attempts to accost \*your \* daughter at film premieres in the hopes of “setting her straight”? STAY AWAY FROM MY KID, you marginally talented skank. ---

Well, after that stroke thing she had, my WAG is that there might be a weeny bit of the old vascular frontal dementia sneaking in. Either that, or she’s taking her kid’s Ritalin. There’s certainly been a LOT of plastic surgery recently anyway. ---

A few nights ago, I saw **Kim Bassinger** on John Leno. (Go ahead and make all the double entendre jokes). _Anyway_, She was really strange talking about paper bags, cardboard boxes, storage companies, etc. There was a thread on this a few days ago. I think Kim should definitely be in the weird celebrity pageant. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-sharon-stone-insane/353142.md?page=2)
