You know I think highly of Sharon Stone’s looks, right? It’s debatable as to whether she’s been tweaked or not, but whatever she’s doing, her face looks good. She’s a mature woman who looks great for her age. And normally, she’s a good casual dresser too. But this is maybe the worst she’s looked in YEARS. And it’s all about the outfit. This outfit would be fug on someone half Sharon’s age, and on her it’s just a catastrophe. What is the cut-off point for leather pants? And why would you pair low-slung leather pants with loafers and a cropped turtleneck? What’s especially disturbing is that this isn’t just some casual look Sharon threw on at the last minute – she was at a business lunch or something. Terrible.

Meanwhile, Sharon appears on the cover of this month’s AARP Magazine, and she talks in detail about her past health issues, including her brain hemorrhage and her miscarriages:

On her brain hemorrhage, the 53-year-old Stone explained, “I came out of the hospital with short- and long-term memory loss. My lower left leg was numb. I couldn’t hear out of my right ear. The side of my face was falling down. I thought, ‘I’ll never be pretty again. Who’s going to want to be around me?'”

Over the past dozen years, she also suffered two miscarriages, which led her and Bronstein to adopt Roan, now 11. “The last time I lost the baby, I went into 36 hours of labor. While we were at the hospital, our adoption attorney called. I thought, ‘This is such a godsend. This is so right.’ I always thought I would adopt. Even when I was young, I used to look up how to adopt.”

A bitter divorce from Bronstein in 2004, however, delivered another blow when Stone lost a custody battle for Roan.

But out of it came her choice to adopt her two more boys; Laird, 6, and Quinn, 5. Stone gushed, “I’m loving raising my kids. Quinn is in junior kindergarten, and he’s very exclamatory! Like a little FBI agent, he tells you everything that’s happening, so I call him Agent Quinn. ‘Mom! Toots pooped in the yard!’ ‘Thank you, Agent Quinn.’ I’ve made humanitarian causes and my children much more my priority than the Hollywood scene, being liked and getting movie parts.”

I had totally forgotten that Sharon lost custody of her oldest son. That’s sad.

Oh, and Sharon just signed on for a new movie called Attachment. She plays a mother of a teenager – the mother has an affair with a college student (a boy) and the boy starts dating the daughter and then terrorizing the family. I don’t even know. It sounds like a gender-reversed version of the Alicia Silverstone movie, The Crush. I LOVE that movie.
