Arriving in Israel, Sharon Stone offers an interesting proposal for Middle East peace
TEL AVIV, Israel — Sharon Stone is ready to do her part for Mideast peace: The “Basic Instinct” actress said Wednesday she “would kiss just about anybody” to end the Israel-Arab conflict.
She arrived in Israel on Tuesday for a five-day trip sponsored by the Peres Center for Peace, founded by Nobel Peace laureate Shimon Peres in 1996 to improve relations with Arabs. It’s her first visit to the Holy Land.
Stone, joined by Peres at a news conference, said she couldn’t solve the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, but could use her fame to help encourage peace efforts.
“I would kiss just about anybody for peace in the Middle East,” she said, drawing laughter from a throng of Israeli reporters. Stone playfully turned down calls to give Peres a peck on the cheek.
Well, now that Yassir Arafat is dead, this proposal probably isn’t quite as distasteful for Ms. Stone as it might otherwise be. No reports yet, though, of Hamas leaders lining up at the kissing booth.
Of course, if that idea doesn’t advance peace, then maybe this will work.
TEL AVIV (Reuters) – It may not be what Sharon Stone wants to discuss, but the actress is happy to confirm that, yes, she does indeed get naked in her next movie, the sequel to the 1992 hit “Basic Instinct.”
In Israel to promote International Women’s Day, Stone was badgered not about the fairer sex, but instead about her role as a sexed-up serial killer in “Basic Instinct 2″ on Wednesday.
“People are just sitting there going, like, ‘I don’t care what she’s saying. I don’t care what she’s saying. I just want to know is she getting naked? Is she getting naked in that movie? Is she naked? Nude? Nude? Naked? Do I see her boobies?”‘ the actress, now 48, told reporters, laughingly.
“So let’s just get through to that. Yes! And now that I’ve cleared that up, let’s just go to the next question, because nobody cares about anything else, really,” she said.
“Basic Instinct 2″ opens March 31 in the United States.
So should we schedule the treaty signing for April 1 ?
