Wow, celebrity adoption: such a beautiful thing, don't you think? Until the couple splits up and at least one parent is revealed in court to be someone who would surely have attracted the attention of social services were it not for the fact that she is, you know, rich. La la la not thinking of anyone in particular la la la.
This week we found out that Sharon Stone was refused custody of her adopted eight-year-old son Roan for, oh, various reasons. Let's pick one at random. How about her wish to have his feet injected with Botox so they wouldn't smell? The judge solemnly intoned: "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 odour problem without the need for any invasive procedures on this young child."
Who is this "Father", anyway? Someone called Phil Bronstein? He's not famous - who cares what he thinks? What both he and the judge are not getting is that Sharon was clearly just looking for a nice mother-son activity over which they could bond - a happy afternoon of double Botox. Tears, eyes, come, etc.
