Much like Eskimos have multiple words for snow, a single term like "crazy" in relation to Sharon Stone doesn't seem to come close to doing the woman justice. In honor of last night's Basic Instinct 2 premiere in New York, we thought we'd do a round-up of the latest on the actress who made severe chemical imbalances in women over 40 sexy again:

· Stone told USA Today at last night's premiere that she is simply stunned that her on-screen nudity—the one no one really cares about but that she keeps bringing up in every interview anyway—should have caused so much (imaginary) controversy: "I think it's hilarious. One never imagines anyone is going to actually care or be at all excited to see you naked."

· Open All Night quotes Stone on the subject of her recent peace-seeking trip to Israel, which starts out coherently enough, but then quickly takes a Stonesian turn towards the realms of the unreal: "It was really wonderful to be asked, and to get to talk to people principally on the subject of peace and humanity, and holding your own dignity, being in your own spiritual elegance, and knowing if you have an idea, do it. And don’t stop at trying to be good. Go ahead and be great!” Finally, words embittered Palestinians and Israelis can relate to; it's but a matter of time before they lay down their arms and join together in order to push their own languishing erotic-thriller sequel into production.
· We saved the best for last. The generally iffy source, ContactMusic.com, conveniently leaves off minor details like when and to whom Stone said this. However, if these words didn't come from Stone's own mouth, then some genius has managed to create an uncanny approximation of her particular brand of crazyspeak, and that's good enough to pass our smell-test: "I said to the girl, 'I'd like to give you a two-minute conversation about sex.' "Young people talk to me about what to do if they're being pressed for sex? I tell them (what I believe): oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex. "If you're in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer a blow job. I'm not embarrassed to tell them." Of course, Stone failed to mention that other excellent line of defense for when you're in a situation where you "cannot get out of sex": Kneeing the guy in the balls, then running away and calling the cops, which of course is less pleasurable for the male than Stone's blow job technique.
