China ban Sharon Stone's movie after her comments at Cannes recently
This is good news for the Chinese people, I personally thank God for this piece of news. Madam Stone better think carefully before giving any comments openly when people are suffering and trying to overcome disaster.

Sharon Stone is facing a ban on the showing of her films in China after suggesting the recent earthquake that killed up to 67,000 people may have been the result of "bad karma" over the country's occupation of Tibet.

Stone, 50, who was speaking to reporters at the Cannes film festival, criticised the Chinese government's actions in Tibet and directly linked them to the disaster:

"I've been concerned about how should we deal with the Olympics, because they are not being nice to the Dalai Lama, who is a good friend of mine," she said.

"And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma - when you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"

A YouTube video of Stone making the comments has provoked fury amongst the online community and angered members of the Chinese film industry. Ng See-Yuen, chairman of the Federation of Hong Kong Film-makers and the founder of the UME Cineplex chain, told The Beijing Times that her comments were "inappropriate" and that his cinema chain, which has a strong presence in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai, would no longer screen any films starring the actor.

The PR company for cosmetics giant Christian Dior has also taken action against Stone by removing images of the actor promoting the company's products from department stores across Beijing.

The ban may be something of a blessing for Chinese movie-goers. The Year of Getting to Know Us, the first of Stone's films to be affected by the ban, has been described by a user of the internet film site IMDb as "one of the five worst films I have seen in my lifetime".

Another news:

In the recent interview, Sharon also revealed she cried when she received a letter from the Tibetan Foundation asking her to help the victims of the earthquake.

She added: "They wanted to go and be helpful, and that made me cry. It was a big lesson to me that sometimes you have to learn to put your head down and be of service even to people who aren't nice to you."

The 'Basic Instinct' star's comments have caused massive controversy worldwide, and have spurned at least one website dedicated solely to attacking the actress.

Sharon has four movies being released between now and 2010 - including 'Streets of Blood', 'Five Dollars a Day' and 'The Year of Getting to Know Us'.
