Sharon Stone still has star power, who knew?

Sharon Stone is making big bucks just to show up at places. Apparently, 15 years later, people are still in awe about the time she showed her vagina in Basic Instinct, according to Page Six:

Insiders say she pulls $175,000 for a mere 30 minutes of face time at noncharitable events. “Sharon is starting to attend store openings and corporate events. In return, she receives major cash,” said a source.

Much like paying $1 million for a Pete Doherty sex tape, this sounds like a huge waste of money. C’mon, it’s Sharon Stone. She’s obnoxious. The only place I’d pay $175,000 for Sharon Stone to appear is the sun’s core. But only after I threw a nuclear missile into it like in Superman IV.
