Sharon Stone is not exactly known for being suave. In my opinion she is basically a hack who got lucky with Basic Instinct and managed to turn it into a career. This week at a hotel that was opening in Turkey, Sharon along with other guest were paid $1.5M just to show up and either sing(Mariah Carey) or talk(Sharon Stone). In other cases stars were just paid to be there. All of them got the same amount, but if I am an investor in this hotel I am wondering who in the hell invited Sharon Stone and why I paid that amount. Not too long ago she insulted everyone in China and now she has insulted the country of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan and Turkey are very close. They are often called one nation and the relationship between the two countries is very strong. Apparently though Sharon didn't know or didn't care and so decided to insult them during her speech. Maybe she thought it was a roast and not the grand opening of a hotel. In her speech she said, "Azerbaijan? What is that? I can't pronounce this! Chaka Khan! Chaka Khan!"
Seriously? For $1.5M this is what the owners of the hotel got? They got some ridiculous American who is only famous for spreading her legs in a movie to insult their closest ally and potential guests of their new hotel. I don't know how Sharon is ever going to spin this and I think she should just go away from all our lives forever.
