Sharon Stone is learning a lot about Karma the hard way. Yesterday, Ng See-Yuen, founder of the UME Cineplex chain and the chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers, called Stone’s comments "inappropriate," adding that actors should not bring personal politics to comments about a natural disaster that has left five million Chinese homeless. Ng See-Yuen said UME Cineplex, one of China’s biggest cinema chains, will no longer show films with Sharon Stone in them in his theaters.

After being banned by UME Cineplex, Sharon Stone issued the following statement regarding her Chinese earthquake karma comments:
"Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people. I am willing to take part in the relief work of China’s earthquake, and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people."
Christian Dior also said they are pulling all ads featuring Stone in China:
"In light of the negative reaction that Sharon Stone’s inappropriate remarks have triggered, Dior China has decided to immediately cancel and stop any advertisements, marketing campaigns and commercial activities associated with Sharon Stone. We don’t agree with her hasty, unreflecting remarks, and we deeply regret them. We just want our customers and fans to realize that her personal comments are not related to the company, and of course we don’t support any type of commentary that will hurt the feelings of our customers."
"Dior was one of the first international brands to enter China and has won the affection and respect of the consuming public. We absolutely do not support any remark that hurts the Chinese people’s feelings. We express our sorrow over the compatriots who lost their lives in the earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan, and we extend our sympathy and condolences to the people in the disaster area."
Karma is a b!tch. Stone may not feel sorry in her heart, but she’s definitely feeling it in her bank account. The Chinese people have proven that rude, and insensitive, celebrities can be stopped by boycotting them.
The pictures above and below are of Stone riding around in a boat with no panties on at the recent Cannes Film Festival in France. She wanted attention, and she sure got it, but not for wearing no panties, but instead for flapping her other loose lips.
