Sharon Stone left a children's AIDS charity reeling after throwing a tantrum
over a Barbie doll.
The 'Basic Instinct' actress agreed to be honoured at a benefit in Santa
Monica on Saturday night (28.10.06) for the Children Affected by AIDS
Foundation. At the event Stone had initially agreed for a number of Barbie dolls
made in her image to be auctioned off.
According to the New York Post newspaper, the 48-year-old blonde actress
"flipped out" when she saw the Barbie toy manufacturers Mattel had made, raging
that it looked nothing like her.
Stone refused to attend the benefit, and instead went to the star-studded
Carousel of Hope ball.
Stone's representative, Cindi Berger, said, "That is absolutely correct. The
doll didn't look anything like her. She was never committed to
going."
