Chinese Sue Sharon Stone for a Billion Bucks

The people of China are suing actress Sharon Stone over her insane comments regarding the recent earthquake.

Sharon was at the Cannes Film Festival when she was pulled aside by Cable Entertainment News of Hong Kong for an interview. When asked whether she'd heard about the tragedy in China, Sharon said, "All these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought, 'Is that karma?'" She also noted, "When you are not nice, that bad things happen to you."

Now, 1,000 Chinese earthquake victims have hired a New York based attorney, Ming Hai to represent them in a suit against Stone for, "harming Chinese people when she suggested the catastrophic quake last May was 'karma' for the regime's occupation of Tibet."

They are seeking $1 billion in damages. That's a lot of Basic Instinct 2 residuals! Stone has been pretty much banned in China altogether and dropped from her Dior deal.
