Sharon Stone Banned From Chinese Film Festival

Sharon Stone
It's safe to say China is still pissed off at Sharon Stone for the comments she made about their country--and who could blame them!?

While doing promo rounds in Cannes last month, Stone was asked how she felt about the recent earthquake in China, to which she replied, "All these earthquakes and stuff happened and I thought, 'Is that karma?' When you are not nice, bad things happen to you."

Although Sharon apologized for her insensitive comments, China is still not having it! They've banned her from their annual Shanghai Film Festival and will be boycotting all of her upcoming film projects.

How’s that for "Karma" Sharon?

Did Ms Stone imply the earthquake was brought up by the Dalai Lama? Her words: “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, I thought, is that karma? When you are not nice, bad things happen to you." Analysis: Karma is a Buddhist law. The divine Buddha determines who to be punished and others praised. A living Buddha reports people’s behaviors to the divine Buddha. Wrong info was passed and the quake occurred in the Aba Tibetan&Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan. Many Tibetan died but the Chinese gov was praised for its swift actions. If this is the karma as she claimed (based on the insider info from her good friend?), it was bad to the innocent Tibetans but good to the gov. His Holiness realized the mistake, and was too embarrassed to participate in a quake-relief effort. Instead, he toured the globe, as if he has nothing to do with the quake (alibi?).
