Sharon Stone On Chinese Earthquake: "I Thought, Is That Karma?"

Last week in Cannes at the annual amFAR fundraiser for which she annually plays auctioneer, Sharon Stone chatted her way down the red carpet. Stopping to talk to a cluster of microphones, she was asked about the Chinese earthquake, the death toll for which tops 67,000 with over 20,000 still missing.
As seen below (on a Chinese broadcast, so excuse the Chinese introduction), Stone was asked her thoughts about the quake, wondered aloud if it was karma, and said the following:

"Well, you know, it was very interesting, because at first I am not happy about the way Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anybody should be unkind to anybody else... Then I've been concerned about how should we deal with the Olympics because they're not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who's a good friend of mine. And then all this earthquake, and all this stuff happened, I thought, is that karma? When you are not nice, the bad things happen to you. And then I got a letter from the Tibetan foundation that they wanted to go and be helpful, and that made me cry... That was a big lesson to me."

Sharon Stone, meet John Hagee.

[CommentSense]

The more I listened to her, the dumber I got.

[Steamboater]

Damn right it was karma! One word form the Chinese and gangsters who run Burma would jhave allowed international aid into the country ad=fter thge disaster there. Now China cries for help. Sometimes life's a bitch when you treat others like one.

[kvass]

You got it wrong buddy -- they did'nt cry for help but along the way it was offered and they graciously accepted.

[Nobrun]

You are a genius. Now explain Katrina.

[follygirl]

Helllllooooo, she's a TWIT!

[wwja]

wait i'm confused. she says that she was wrong for thinking this way and she learned an important lesson. yet no one has acknowledged this aspect. typical.

[Mattie]

What a shallow bitch, tens of thousands of people dead, and she says it's karma. Seriously, is anyone that stupid! Amazing!

[daddydamon]

What a stupid person.

[AntonBursch]

Well, you gotta give her a break. Didn't she have a brain aneurysm or something. At least she was honest about her first thoughts and how she realized that she was wrong.

[Scytherius]

Is she Hagee's sister? Jesus. What idiots.

[DavidET]

I love Sharon Stone as an actress but WE give too much credit to people whose JOB is to act or sing or whatever as if they somehow better than others. Its all about them and who is better among them, who gets a prize among them, and the rest of population is so mesmerized with them, what they wear, who they sleep with and what they SAY !

Thank you media.

[LGrace]

Thank *you,* people who keep reading whatever we crank out about celebs!

--The Media

[findingthetruth]

Either Stone likes the way the word sounds OR heard someone using it at a social and don't have clue of its meaning. This is synonomous to Hagee's statement of New Orleans.

[OhBigWoo]

Well if there is such a thing as Karma, the US is in for some devastation of its own

[timmcveighjr]

why do you hate amerika?

[JDBishop5]

I just cannot understand why ANYONE cares about ANYTHING movie stars, actors, or media figures like Sam Donaldson, Cockie Roberts, et al have to say about matters beyond straight reportage. Sharon Stone's entire contribution to the culture has been a carefully controlled crotch shot. For that the Dali Lama is a 'good friend?'

[Mattie]

very true, I forgot the crotch shot, it does qualify her to talk about world affairs doesn't it.

[tonycd]

Well, she has been where the two hemispheres meet.

[radmul]

This puts her in the same league with morons like Hagge and Parsley blaming gays for hurricanes. Just another example of all religions damaging society. Earth quakes are caused by shifting plates not imaginary friends.

[Lisette]

SHARON-
KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT KARMA?

THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FUNDAMENTAL CHRISTIANS SAID ABOUT KATRINA BECAUSE OF GAY PEOPLE...........................................................

I AM SURPRISED AT YOU OF ALL PEOPLE
