"This week it was reported in connection with Sharon Stone's custody dispute that she wanted to have her young 8 year-old son undergo Botox treatment at this time for his feet," said her attorney Martin Singer to Entertainment Tonight. "Sharon Stone never made this statement. It is a complete fabrication. Sharon loves her son Roan and only wants the best for him." That, Singer added, is why the actress has scheduled a chemical peel for Roan before class pictures. [ET]

<![CDATA[Can't a Cool Mom Like Sharon Stone Share Some Botox With Her 8-Year-Old Son?]]> When Sharon Stone lost custody of her eight-year-old son Roan last week, we were surprised; yes, the actress has had an erratic year that involved blaming "karma tectonics" for the death of 7,000 Chinese, but sole custody is rarely awarded to the father in these cases. Could it have been Stone's new relationship with a greasy 24-year-old that turned the legal tide against her, or was it something more? According to TMZ, which obtained the court's "Tentative Statement of Decision," it was a whole range of factors, though all may pale in comparison to the smoking gun proffered by ex-husband Phil Bronstein: that Stone wanted to Botox her son.

And then the court says, "Another example of an overreaction is that Mother suggested that Roan should have Botox injections in his feet to resolve a problem he had with foot odor. As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the odor problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child."

...The judge goes on: "Unfortunately, the problem caused by Mother's overreactions is painfully real for this child."

Of course, Stone was simply passing on a red carpet trick known by most actresses: a couple shots of Botox under the arms, and you can avoid pulling a humiliating "Meg Ryan" in public. Sure, mere socks may accomplish the same thing, but would those qualify Stone for the family discount with Dr. Lipschitz?

<![CDATA[Sharon Stone Wants Her Baby Back, Baby Back, Baby Back…]]> Sharon Stone lost custody of her 8-year-old son Roan on Tuesday when a San Francisco judge ruled that her ex-husband Phil Bronstein should have “permanent sole physical custody” of the child. But why? Could this be the very same karma that Stone said caused the horrific earthquake in China a few months ago? Surprisingly, it's not nearly that dramatic — the judge didn’t base his decision on Eastern philosophy at all.

But we almost wish he had. According to court documents, His Honor simply thought it’d be better for Roan if he were to continue going to school in San Francisco instead of moving to LA with his mom; staying with Bronstein will “provide a more structured continuity, stable, secure and consistent home that...Roan needs.” Stone’s lawyer Martin Singer, of course, was quick to point out that this decision has nothing to do with her fitness as a mother. After all, she is still retaining custody of her two adopted children. And if Stone decides to move to San Francisco, the decision can be reversed.

So while Stone may remain crazy, this scenario appears to be unrelated, maybe even resolvable. For once, a Stone story sounds perfectly reasonable to us.
