LET’S FACE IT

Paula Abdul finds Jason Castro forgetable
SOUR NOTE
American Idol’s top 5 contestant Jason Castro had performed the first of two songs during a Neil Diamond-themed episode in April when Paula Abdul told him, “The second song, I felt like your usual charm was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty and the two songs made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four.” Oops! Later, she called the gaffe “an honest mistake.”

JUST A SIP
So much for that New Year’s resolution!

Sharon Stone gets a healthy dose of bad karma
BAD KARMA?
Asked on the red carpet in Cannes about the earthquake in China that killed 80,000 people, Sharon Stone said she was “not happy with the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans” and wondered, “Is that Karma, when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?” The actress later admitted, “I misspoke. I could not be more regretful of that mistake.” Still, she wasn’t invited to the country’s Shanghai International Film Festival, which she had attended in 2007.

It was later issued – just not in time for her to pick up her trophies in person at the Grammy Awards.
Bai Ling has worst Valentine's Day ever
WORST VALENTINE’S EVER
On Feb. 13, Bai Ling was arrested at Los Angeles International airport for allegedly shoplifting $16 worth of celebrity magazines and batteries from a terminal convenience store. Her excuse?

THE C-WORD
It was a mistake that went viral in seconds: While discussing The Vagina Monologues with playwright Eve Ensler and Meredith Vieira on the Today show, Jane Fonda said the “c-word” on live television. “It was a slip and obviously she apologizes, and so do we,” host Vieira said after a newsbreak. “We would do nothing to offend the audience. So please accept that apology.”

Too close for comfort.”
**Honorable mention goes to Miley Cyrus and her digital camera.
Sharon Stone really is insane, in court papers that show a judge denied her request to move her son, Roan, to Los Angeles, we find out that she wanted to give Roan botox injections in his feet.
The court has released what it calls the “Tentative Statement of Decision.” It is a highly sensitive document, which outlines a bitter, ongoing battle between Stone and ex-husband, Phil Bronstein.
Among many things, the judge says, “Mother appears to overreact to many medical issues involving Roan.” In one case, the judge describes Stone believing Roan had a spinal condition, but “there was no evidence to support this allegation.”
And then the court says, “Another example of an overreaction is that Mother suggested that Roan should have Botox injections in his feet to resolve a problem he had with foot odor. 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 judge differentiated very distinctly the difference between Bronstein and Stone, saying, “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.”
The judge goes on: “Unfortunately, the problem caused by Mother’s overreactions is painfully real for this child.”
The judge says at one point, responding to Stone’s argument that she put her career on hold for Roan, “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.”
TMZ also claims that there is more stuff they wouldn’t publish, it must be bad if TMZ aren’t going to post it.

Sharon Stone opened her mouth and verbal diarrhea came spewing out. She unleashed her karma based belief that China was getting its just desserts after the earthquake that claimed the lives of over 68,000 people.
She might as well have said that she killed Jesus and liked to kick kittens. In response to Stone’s comments on China “not being very nice” and getting some sort of horrific payback, China has had some boycotts put into effect. Cinemas refuse to show her films and even Dior has pulled her images from their campaigns.
“Due to some customer reaction we have decided to pull her image from all of the department stores and from all of China,” Christian Dior China said in a statement.
“We just want our customers and fans to realize that her personal comments are not related to the company and of course we don’t support any type of commentary that will hurt the feelings of our customers.”
Now that she is finding that karma works both ways. Not even being tight with the Dalai Lama can save her sorry ancient carcass.
“In the course of the interview I made inappropriate remarks and for any harm created towards the Chinese people I am extremely sad and apologize.”
Damage is done crazy bitch. China has accepted her “sorry” but pretty much told her to piss off and the boycott remains. Leave it to her to garner the hate of any entire country.

Sharon Stone likes to air it out, on purpose. She’s done it in movies and in every other opportunity that comes up. The difference this time… she appears to be packing.
She SO did that on purpose!
Some have said she’s nude, and some have said that she’s wearing nude panties. Regardless of what you decide, nude or not, clearly there’s something down there that just aint right.
What others said:
I Don’t Like You That Way says, “oh, I give up. I have no idea what the hell that is. I mean, it’s where female genitalia is supposed to be, but it’s not a good sign when “water balloon” is a good guess. It’s unclear whether that’s testicles or stuff she’s storing for the winter. “
Sharon Stone was pictured at Elton John’s Oscar party, wearing a rats paw on her lapel. When asked about it, she said:
“It’s for luck.”
I remember back when I was in high school, wearing fur was popular, but it was mostly rabbits fur that everyone wore [not that rabbits don't matter]. I haven’t worn fur since high school, I’m 42.
When PETA came along, it then became a matter of being humane and for the love of vegetarian. It’s made me look at fur differently. Yes, rats are gross… but that’s all the more reason, no?
What others said:
Dlisted says, “Somebody perform some sort of ritual on that rat’s paw and bring it back to life. Sharon needs a beat down and that rat paw is the one to do it.”
Sharon certainly loves her fur. What say now, PETA?

**UPDATE [allie]:TMZ is reporting that PETA has already responded:
“Maybe Sharon, passed over by the Academy yet again, was jealous of Ratatouille’s Oscar win and thought a rodent paw might go with her haggard look. Her accessories these days are as dead as her career.”
