CANNES, FR (Hollywood Today) 5/28/08 — The Chinese government reacted sharply to Sharon Stone’s comments of Chinese bad Karma at the Cannes Film Festival this week, regarding the recent earthquake in China killing 80,000 people. “I’m not happy about how the Chinese are treating the Tibetans. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is this Karma? And when you are not nice, bad things happen to you.” The communists of China responded with there own bad Karma for Stone… banning all of her films in China.>

So is there any truth to what Sharon Stone said? Is there such a thing as good Karma, bad Karma? Apparently Sharon Stone thinks so. Stone calls the Chinese earthquake “very interesting.” Stone’s comments ignited a fire storm of controversy in China. Reaction from the Chinese people has been harsh as seen from the communist controlled news networks inside China. “I don’t think you can blame something natural like an earthquake on the Chinese people.” Said one person interviewed. To the contrary, the Tibetan Foundation issued a written request to Stone seeking her assistance with aiding the victims of China’s Sichuan Earthquake.” The Dalai Lama is a good friend of mine. It was a big lesson to me that sometimes you have to learn to put your head down and be of service to people who aren’t nice to you.” Referring to her request by the exiled Tibetan monk to help the Chinese people. The Chairman of UME Cineplex in Beijing, Mr. Ng See-Yuen cited Stones comments as “inappropriate” and further cited the chain would not be releasing her films in the future. Stone is attached to 6 films to be released between 2008 and 2010. Now that China’s government has been more open in recent years to show more Hollywood films to its 1.6 billion people, any film’s worldwide box-office could be impacted greatly if not shown in China and that could mean less shopping for Sharon on Rodeo Boulevard. Now that I would call “very interesting.”
