Perhaps inspired by Frenchwoman Marion Cotillard's entirely bonkers conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the American moon landings, Sharon Stone chose Cannes at the weekend to pour out her heart over the Chinese occupation of Tibet. The recent earthquake, she pointed out, might be some sort of karma for the Chinese people.
She's right of course. They sort of deserve it, don't they, those Chinese? After all, they have callously turned a blind eye for decades whilst their democratically elected government rode roughshod all over Tibetan indepe ... what's that you say? Oh.
Anyway, reports today suggest the Chinese are pretty upset about it, so upset that there are calls to ban all Stone's movies from being shown in the country (a threat we can't help thinking might carry slightly more weight if the Chinese censorship board wasn't in the habit of banning everyone else's films too).
