The animal rights Nazis at
PETA have attempted a humorous attack on noted fur-wearing looney old crone
Sharon Stone.
"Dear Mrs. Stone," reads a letter addressed to Sharon by PETA president
Ingrid Newkirk. "I am writing with an offer that could provide an opportunity for you to escape all future public condemnation when you show insensitivity to the suffering of others.
"Given that millions of people - including children - were killed, injured and left homeless by the recent earthquake in China, everyone was shocked to hear you dismiss the devastating effects of this disaster. However, your cavalier attitude did not come as a surprise to us. We are used to the indifference that you flaunt and the callous remarks that you make about the suffering and death of the animals whose fur you wear so often.
"Scientific studies suggest that the prefrontal regions of the brains of people who lack empathy might be underdeveloped. Here's our offer: Would you allow PETA to pay for a scan of the prefrontal region of your brain to determine if comments and actions that seem to demonstrate a lack of empathy are the result of a physical defect?
"Mink, foxes, rabbits and other fur-bearing animals are tortured and killed so that people like you can steal and wear these animals' fur. We have sent you videotapes showing that animals on fur farms spend their lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages with little to no shelter from the scorching sun and freezing rain. Animals are killed by the cheapest and crudest methods, including poisoning, neck-breaking, gassing, and genital electrocution. Workers bludgeon animals with metal rods and slam them against the ground, which breaks the animals' bones but does not always kill or stun them. Sometimes animals are still conscious when they are skinned.
You don't have to be a member of Mensa to understand that the suffering endured by animals in the fur industry is supported by your desire to deck yourself out in fur. The type of thinking that would allow a perhaps otherwise intelligent woman to deny the cruel consequences of her actions can be established through a brain scan. We urge you to undergo this test at our expense. With help, you might be able to develop empathy and curb your urge to scoff at various forms of misery and violence. Please contact me to make the necessary arrangements."
Damn, this is good veal.
Katherine Heigl is adopting a Korean baby with her husband Josh Kelley and renaming it Nayleigh. Not Kayleigh or Hayleigh but Nayleigh. A few months with Heigl and the baby will wish it was back in Korea living in a cage and eating rancid dog meat.
Sharon Stone was scheduled to appear with Larry King on inauguration night, then someone told her Larry had to leave and D.L. Hughley was going to host their segment instead. So what did Sharon do? Threw a hissy and said she wouldn't do the show. And I don't blame her either. She's Sharon freaking Stone - she doesn't do back-up hosts. If they wanna throw D.L. Hughley in there instead of Larry King, then they can get Geena Davis or Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio or some other washed-up '80s actress. Sharon's the greatest.
Sharon Stone turned the Cinema For Peace gala in Berlin into a one-woman wackiness fest. Here she is apparently singing - although she could just as easily be having an epileptic seizure. Somebody shove a wooden spoon between her teeth before she bites her tongue.
So where's Lionel Richie while his little adopted ballerina girl is being busted for DUI? He's hanging out with Sharon Stone at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo.
