Now that Basic Instinct 2 has come and gone (it debuted at #9 this week with a horrendous $3.2 million, behind the fourth week of The Shaggy Dog), I was hoping to never, ever have to hear anything about this person again, much less the fact that she got $14 million to star in this sequel that no one asked for.
However, the list of Sharon Stone's demands riders have surfaced on the web, and they're just too fantastic to pass up. Let me quote www.idontlikeyouthatway.com who has put it quite succinctly:
"Please keep in mind that this is in addition to her $14 million salary. Some choice excerpts include: $3,500 a day per diem, a presidential suite with 2 bedrooms, 3 nannies at $1,500 a week each, 24 hour bodyguards, 2 assistants, a personal trainer, first class travel for 6 (in case private jet travel is not available), the right to approve catering (if not approved, personal chef will be provided), no oil based smoke to be used as a special effect, no cigar smoke on set and a Pilates Cadillac for personal use."
It just makes you want to hate all celebrities everywhere, doesn't it?
However, having said that... who gives in to these kind of demands? Even ignoring all this nonsense, what kind of an idiot pays her $14 million dollars, and then opens the film on just 1450 screens?!? Even in the best of circumstances, you're not making your money back in the States with that kind of debut.
I will never understand Hollywood.
