Sharon Stone Loses Custody Of Her Son

Posted on 23 September 2008 by tammy

Sharon Stone has lost custody of her 8 year-old son Roan to her ex-husband Phil Bronstein.

According to ET,

“According to court documents detailing a September 12, 2008 custody hearing, Phil Bronstein “shall have permanent sole physical custody of child. Court finds that Respondent (Sharon Stone) failed to meet her burden of proof and denies Respondent’s (Sharon Stone’s) request for modification of custody. The judge also notes this order is permanent unless there is a change of circumstances.”

According to the minutes of the official court order,

“The court does not find that (a) move away is in child’s best interest,” say the minutes. “(Bronstein) can provide a more structured continuity, stable, secure, and consistent home that child, Roan, needs.” (To view the document click here)

The order has been made permanent, pending a change in circumstances of either Stone or Bronstein, like change of residence.  Judging by the stipulations, Stone was trying to seek a modification of the previous custody arrangement to get more time with her oldest son, as the order stated that the “court does not find that move away is in child’s best interest.”

While she has lost physical custody, Stone retains her rights to have access to the child.  Stone “shall have access to child,” the minutes say, and her phone number “shall be programmed into the child’s telephone and home phone.”

The former couple tied the knot in 1998 and divorced in 2004; they adopted Roan back in 2000.

Stone has two other children, sons Laird, whom she adopted in May 2005, and Quinn, whom she adopted in June 2006.

A perfunctory subsequent hearing to address attorney’s fees in the matter has been set for Nov. 18.

Sharon Stone Apologizes For China’s Earthquake Comment

French fashion house, Christian Dior, has dropped Sharon Stone from it’s Chinese advertisements since the comment she made on the Cannes red carpet last week. To recap: she insinuated that China’s recent earthquake, which killed approximately 68,000 people, was due to karma for it’s treatment of Tibet.

Stone said on the red carpet:

“I’m not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?”

Stone has recently issued an apology stating:

“Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people,” the actress said in the statement. “I am willing to take part in the relief work of China’s earthquake, and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people.”

Stupid woman. Was hurricane Katrina karma too? Although I believe in karma to some extent, there are times when you just have to blame it on Mother Nature.

China Hates on Sharon Stone

Posted on 27 May 2008 by CeCe

China Hates on Sharon StoneIt seems as if the movies weren’t the only things getting bad reviews at Cannes.
Sharon Stone made some uh…interesting…remarks Thursday to Hong Kong’s Cable Entertainment News at an event during the Cannes Film Festival.

China is now considering a boycott of the actress’ films (as of right now- two this year and two next year) of her comment last week that the recent devastating earthquake. The quake, which right now has resulted in at least 65,000 deaths, Stone claims is just karma in response to the government’s controversial policy against Tibet.

Her remarks triggered anger across the Chinese-language media and were called “inappropriate” by the founder of one of China’s biggest urban cinema chains, who said his company would not show the Hollywood star’s films.

Cheesy? Yes.  But I couldn’t resist.
