Train Wrecks
China Shows Sharon What Karma Really Is

Posted May 28th 2008 8:30AM by TMZ Staff

Looks like the Chinese will have to live without Sharon Stone's "Sliver" for a while: The biggest movie chain in China says it's banning her flicks from its screens after she called the horrific earthquakes there "karma" for past abuses.

Ng See-Yuen, head of the UME Cineplex chain, tells the Hollywood Reporter that Stone's ridiculous remarks were "inappropriate" and that actors should not bring personal politics to such a disaster that's killed tens of thousands and left 5 million homeless.

No word on whether the absence of "Last Action Hero" will cause widespread rioting in the streets of Beijing.

1. While no one is missing anything by not seeing a Sharon Stone film ... I am pleased that someone in China has taken her to task for her stupid, insensitive remarks.

3. Oh she has a brain, it just suffers from a mental defect.

4. The people of China can rest easy. Sharon Stone has done nothing of note in films for years now, so the likelihood of them having to sit through anything with her in it isn't likely. Some people receive blessings when they least expect it.

5. If we are living in the "last days" so eloquently put above LOL, then it is of our own making not from a God's making. What fool's to believe such mumbo jumbo. This planet will outlive us all.

6. Sharon Stone,

You are animal not human being, what you learn from Buddhism teaching. Never respect the value of human being and lack of love kindness, As a Malaysian Chinese, I will organise our friends and relatives to boycott all your movies and your promoted products. I advise you better trim your hair become naked and go to hell.

7. Sharon Stone possesses a massive ego, longs for attention and has various other issues. In the international arena, she has previously shot her mouth off, and gotten away with it. She appears to think that her eccentricity is her right, and her behavior will always be accepted. Sharon will simply use this latest wrinkle as a publicity opportunity. After all, TMZ printed it.

8. I laughed out loud when she said the Dally Lama is a good friend of hers, like she is so important. I knew China would come after her as they should...it was an irresponsible and inappropriate comment.

9. NotFamous - maybe she knows the Dally Lama - but she sure doesn't know the Dali Lama.

I hear that Rosie almost left her wife for Sharon Stone but after a few weeks Sharon drove Rosie nuts. And for someone to drive Rosie nuts - THIS WOMAN MUST BE C-R-A-Z-Y.

14. don't care about sharon stone one way or the other. but since, for the moment at least, this is still america, she has a right to say anything she wants. and for you pathetic politically correct whiners attacking her, you might instead attack our enemy. china. while there's still time.
