CNN —Sharon Stone is opening up about her dating life – and 2024 could be a good year for it. But that may very well happen,” the Golden Globe-winning actress told The Times of London in an interview published Friday. “I went on the @bumble dating sight (sic) and they closed my account,” she wrote in a Twitter post. Don’t shut me out of the hive.”In 1984, Stone married producer Michael Greenburg, but the pair split three years later. In a 2018 interview with Grazia magazine, Stone said she has high expectations of the men in her life.

Albert Brooks and Rob Reiner Photo: HBOThe status of Albert Brooks in American comedy is a curious thing. Is that a subtext of “Albert Brooks: Defending My Life”? Albert Brooks: Defending My Life Saturday, 8 p.m., HBOMany of the people whom director Rob Reiner has throwing bouquets during this documentary— Steven Spielberg , Larry David , Jon Stewart , Conan O’Brien and Sharon Stone among them—are all more famous than Mr. Brooks, but genuflect before his comedic genius. Larry David, whose own brand is all about kvetchiness, virtually gushes while recalling a compliment he got from Mr. Brooks. When David Letterman says, “I would rather have Albert’s career than my career,” you believe him.

Board members from Hollywood's actors union voted Friday to approve the deal with studios that ended their strike after nearly four months. Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists' executive director and chief negotiator, announced at an afternoon news conference that it was approved with 86% of the vote. The successful vote from the board, whose members include actors Billy Porter, Jennifer Beals, Sean Astin and Sharon Stone, was entirely expected, as many of the same people were on the committee that negotiated it. In the wake of the announcement of a tentative deal, actors were largely optimistic about what their leaders have won for them, but their reaction to the details will be important. The last screen actors strike, in 1980, had a rocky ending, with many members opposing the contract.

Actrița americană Sharon Stone, 63 de ani, a povestit în cartea sa autobiografică The Beauty of Living Twice că în 2001 a recurs la o operație de reconstrucție a sânilor, după ce a fost supusă unor intervenții pentru înlăturarea unor tumori benigne, scrie The Guardian, citat de libertatea.ro. Diva a afirmat că după ce s-a trezit din anestezia generală și-a dat seama că sânii erau mai mari, chirurgul spunându-i că a considerat că „ar arăta mai bine cu sâni mai mari și îmbunătățiți”. Acesta este doar unul dintre episoadele dezvăluite de actriță în cartea de memorii, Stone afirmând de asemenea că a fost păcălită să își dea jos lenjeria intimă pentru faimoasa scenă cu interogatoriul din filmul Basic Instinct. Stone a povestit că a descoperit înșelătoria doar după ce a văzut varianta finală a peliculei și că l-a pălmuit pe regizorul Paul Verhoevennu când și-a dat seama că acesta nu s-a ținut de cuvânt. Sheron Stone a mai dezvăluit în carte că ea și sora ei, Kelly, au fost abuzate sexual în copilărie de bunicul lor, Clarence Lawson.
