While the box office receipts for Basic Instinct 2 were extremely dismal, Sharon Stone has other priorities that she considers much more important than her film career. She has been a tireless mouthpiece for the fight for a cure for AIDS.
Sharon Stone will attend the 14th annual Life Ball, a charity gala dedicated to fighting AIDS.The 48-year-old actress will attend the May 20 event as a representative of the American Foundation for AIDS Research, the Austrian Press Agency reported Wednesday.
The Life Ball is known for the extravagant costumes worn by its guests. Last year, the ball featured appearances by Liza Minnelli, Elton John, Heidi Klum and Donatella Versace. The event raised $1.26 million, organizers said.

We get it...you can be sexy after 40. Now go away.
Girly Girl says:
I cannot STAND Sharon Stone. She's obnoxious.
But girlfriend looks DAMN good in thesep ictures. She's almost 50! But I like to think if I had nannies caring for my kids, a chef, a trainer, and a great plastic surgeon I'll look like this at 48 too...

when is she going to stop taking her clothes off? she needs to chill with that. i think she's going through midlife crisis and needs people to tell her she's 'sexy'
las says:
No no, not a midlife crisis. A CAREER crisis. "I'm still sexy! Even if I am wrinkly and sort of creepy looking! Hire me!" Girly Girl, you forgot copious airbrushing. :)
Of course, I'm not surprised that she is so die-hard about AIDS benefits. Since she advocates "can't get out of it" blowjobs, she probably has it hovering over her head!

Jealousy, is a beautiful thing isn't it? That is exactly what I've been reading based on your comments. I would not be surprise that must of you are members of the media. If you all hate her so much, why you're on her site?
Natasha says:
If I look half as good as her when I'm approaching the big 5-0... I'll be very happy. I'll also be happy if I'm rich enough to afford the plastic surgery she has (so obviously) had to keep her looking that way...
