Sharon Stone "2" Demanding

MARCH 31--We're pretty sure 'Basic Instinct 2' is going to suck hard, no matter how many glimpses of Sharon Stone's breasts and southern tier are offered. But even if the skinfest does bomb, the 48-year-old actress will have banked a very hefty check and enjoyed an impressive list of perks while shooting the R-rated movie. Stone's on-set rider--complete with her lawyer's handwritten additions--surfaced during a lawsuit she filed (and later settled) with producers of the sequel to 1992's 'Basic Instinct,' for which she originally signed a $14 million contract. The five-page document, a copy of which you'll find below, details Stone's assorted demands, from Pilates equipment and a $3500/week per diem to armed bodyguards and a prohibition against on-set cigar smoking. Along with a chauffeured car piloted by a non-smoking driver approved by Stone, the actress also demands a convertible sedan for personal use. Then there's the three nannies, two assistants, cell phones, pagers, presidential suite, first-class travel (in the absence of a private jet), chef, and the deluxe motor home with air conditioning, heating, bed, private bathroom, shower, TV, VCR, refrigerator, telephone, stove, couch, stereo, and cellular fax machine. And, unless the items have been rented, Stone also gets to keep jewelry and wardrobe pieces worn during filming. However, based on today's reviews, it seems Stone's 'Basic Instinct 2' clothing haul was limited to negligees, thongs, and dental floss. (5 pages)
