Sharon Stone, 46, Still Very Perky

JUNE 30--When it comes to celebrity demands, we usually focus on touring musicians like Metallica and Sheryl Crow. But Hollywood types have needs, too, as evidenced by the standard "perk list" of Sharon Stone. Along with a multimillion-dollar salary (and script, co-star, and director approval), the 46-year-old actress requires so much stuff when she's filming a movie that the list, a copy of which you'll find below, covers five pages. The document, which includes handwritten additions by Stone's lawyer, is likely to figure in a July trial over the collapse of the "Basic Instinct" sequel. Stone wants the $14 million she claims was guaranteed for her reprisal of the Catherine Trammell role, while producers say there was never a binding deal, and point to unresolved issues involving Stone's male co-star, nude scenes, and the star's "inflated" perk list. That inventory includes everything from Pilates equipment and a $3500/week per diem to armed bodyguards and a prohibition against on-set cigar smoking (funny, considering Stone graces the August 2004 cover of Cigar Aficionado). Along with a chauffeured car piloted by a non-smoking driver approved by Stone, the actress also needs a convertible sedan for personal use. Then there's the three nannies, two assistants, cell phones, pagers, presidential suite, first-class travel (if a private jet is unavailable), 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, of course, Stone keeps all wardrobe and jewelry worn in a flick. Unless, of course, the merch was rented. Hey, she's not that grubby. (5 pages)
