Theres this tendency for commenters to point out the worst thing a celebrity has said or done, even years later. When its sexual harassment, a violent crime, or a racist or sexist remark thats completely understandable. Sometimes theyre just a bit assholish or they say something thats up to interpretation (like when Anthony Mackie said a womans role was to make him a sandwich. I get it, just let me still like him please). When the person says another questionable thing though, its perfectly fine to bring up the other bad things theyve said and done. Like Sharon Stone, who asked in 2008 if the horrible earthquakes in China were karma for the governments treatment of Tibet. Sharon apologized for that and it sounded like she learned her lesson, but shes not the most compassionate person. She recently gave an interview to Vanity Fair in which she discussed her 2001 stroke and compared herself to Princess Diana. (Sharon first opened up about her stroke in 2014 I believe.) Sharons cerebral hemorrhage was so bad it took two years for her to learn to walk and talk again and she almost lost everything. She said it took seven years for her to recover. All of that sounds harrowing, and quite different from dying in a car crash.
?This is why I do it: My mother had a stroke. My grandmother had a stroke. I had a massive stroke ? and a nine-day brain bleed,? [Sharon Stone] told Variety at an event she hosted to raise awareness for the Women?s Brain Health Initiative in West Hollywood on Wednesday night.
They say that Hollywood loves a comeback but unfortunately, that has not been Stone?s experience. ?People treated me in a way that was brutally unkind,? she said. And she wasn?t referring to men (other than perhaps her ex-husband Phil Bronstein). ?From other women in my own business to the female judge who handled my custody case, I don?t think anyone grasps how dangerous a stroke is for women and what it takes to recover ? it took me about seven years.?
During that time, Stone suffered insurmountable losses, both professional and personal: ?[From] trying to keep custody of my son to just functioning ? to be able to work at all,? Stone added. ?I was so grateful to [LVMH head and now the second-richest person in the world] Bernard Arnault, who rescued me by giving me a Dior contract. But I had to remortgage my house. I lost everything I had. I lost my place in the business. I was like the hottest movie star, you know?? she said, her voice trailing off. ?It was like Miss Princess Diana and I were so famous ? and she died and I had a stroke. And we were forgotten.?
But what Stone wants people to remember is her potentially life-saving advice: ?if you have a really bad headache, you need to go to the hospital,? she said. ?I didn?t get to the hospital until day three or four of my stroke. Most people die. I had a 1% chance of living by the time I got surgery ? and they wouldn?t know for a month if I would live.? At the time, Stone wasn?t even aware of how dire her chances for survival were. ?No one told me ? I read it in a magazine,? she added.

Maybe Sharon comparing herself to Princess Diana would make sense if she had a stroke the same summer that Diana passed in that horrible accident. If it happened around the same time then she would associate her own tragedy with Dianas. Diana passed in 1997 and Sharons stroke was in 2001. Shes comparing her fame level with Dianas, which I dont think is accurate at all, but at least she has a high opinion of herself. I mean a lot of people strive for that. Plus no one forgot Princess Diana! We still talk about her all the time. It sounds like Sharon felt like she died too in a way. That must have been awful and I cant imagine how bad it was. Sharon has said that her stroke made her much more blunt and outspoken, so maybe thats the reason why she talks smack like this, she lost her filter. Also Im reminded of Emilia Clarkes story of her brain aneurysm and how it was the worst headache she ever had.
Also, Sharon Stone looks good because she has not jacked up her face. She is aging goals.

Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix have been together since late 2016. They worked together that year, then suddenly they got together and went all-in rather quickly. She dumped her boyfriend at the time, and then she started living with Joaquin. Personally, I love them together. They?re a really cute, offbeat couple and I enjoy the thought of them cooking vegan food together and composting together and going to karate together. Joaquin has seemed especially happy and especially domesticated with Rooney. So it makes sense that after more than two years together, they would talk about getting married. Super-conventional! That?s why I?m not sure I really believe it.
Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix are ready for their next big role ? as spouses! The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo actress and the Joker star are engaged, Us Weekly can confirm.
The news comes less than two months after Mara, 34, and Phoenix, 44, sparked speculation that they were taking the next step in their relationship after the Social Network actress was spotted wearing a large diamond ring on her left hand. The bling was on full display in May as Mara ran errands in Los Angeles carrying a ?Go Vegan? bag.
The couple met in 2016 on the set of the film Mary Magdalene in which Mara played the title role alongside Phoenix as Jesus. The future spouses began dating shortly after and made their red carpet debut in May 2017 at the Cannes Film Festival?s closing ceremony.
[From Us Weekly]
I hope it?s happening, don?t get me wrong. But does Joaquin Phoenix seem like the kind of guy who would actually go out and buy a large diamond ring for the woman he loves? I?m really asking. If he did propose with a diamond ring, I feel like he would try to source a small ethical diamond, or maybe he would go for an estate-sale engagement ring, something like that. But you never know. Anyway, I hope they?re together forever. I love them.
