Sharon Stone: Meryl Streep "Looks Like An Unmade Bed"

[Brian Damage]

Sharon Stone, 51, has some choice words for Meryl Streep, 60, in the new issue of Tatler magazine, saying the "It's Complicated" star gets so much work at least in part because Streep looks "like an unmade bed" and is "because she looks like a woman we can all relate to."

Stone was most recently seen in "Basic Instinct 2" and "Bobby" in 2006 and talking about her "good friend" the Dalai Lama" in 2008.

"I think that's why Meryl Streep is working so much, because she looks like a woman we can all relate to," Stone tells Tatler.

"I look at her and I think, 'I'm chasing my kids, I've moved my parents in with me, I'm coping with food spills - that looks like me in real life'.

"Meryl looks like an unmade bed, and that's what I look like. To me, that looks true."


Stone, a Dior anti-aging spokeswoman, also denies doing anything to herself, then backtracks to admit she did something once.

"I have had zero, nothing done to myself: no lifting, no Botox, no injectables," she said.

"I did try something once and I saw myself in a movie and didn't like the way I looked. I thought I looked like I had a giant balloon head, and I felt it wasn't for me.

She may not have meant it as a bash, but it can be seen that way. MS is awesome period. She has a successful career because she's a great actress, and I can relate more to her than SS(and I'm 35)

[robyrob]

everytime I hear about Sharon Stone talking I picture three little birds flying around in circles inside her head.

[Pitooey]

An unmade bed? That seems harsh. Sharon sounds jealous. Meryl is a fine actress.

[catlover79]

I agree - Sharon is most likely jealous that Meryl's film career has been on a major upswing the past couple of years while hers is stuck in the mud. Catty much, Sharon?

[gidgetgrape]

I hate when a person puts another person down in an effort to make themselves look better. It never works. Ugh!

No kidding. Meryl is about to get her 16th Oscar nomination and Sharon is as washed up as can be.

BINGO!!

[TJL]

No plastic surgery?

Sharon, you I think you should call the fire department, because your pants are on fire.

;)

[sunshinefizzy]

Meryl is full of grace and Sharon is full of crap.

:yeahthat :nod:

[steevo]

A comment like that from someone whose primary claim to fame was a certain leg-crossing scene in Basic Instinct? Um, OK. :rolleyes:

[isiahthomas]

Stop with all the Sharon Stone hate. That's my girl. I've always wanted to **** her LOL. Yeah she did a few bad movies but so what. Sharon has always been better looking than Meryl and Sharon's movies are better than Meryl's. Plus Meryl is a ugly name LOL. Why would her parents name her that?

[HuntingtonM15]

Sharon's movies are better than Meryl's? On what planet? Looks have nothing to do with it. Meryl Streep is one of the greatest actresses in the history of cinema, and she very much deserves the 15 Oscar nominations she has to her name. Sharon might have done a lot of movies, but not too many of them are all that notable. Meryl is without equal whereas Sharon is a decent actress, but not someone who will be remembered the same in decades to come.

:yeahthat My feelings exactly!! Kramer vs. Kramer or Basic Instinct? I don't think there's any comparison.

For me I admit that Meryl Streep is a great actress but generally her movies do not appeal to me.

I would go for some pointless action or "sexy" film Sharon does before I see a Meryl Streep film.

One movie I was truly disappointed with was Lions for Lambs with Tom Cruise.

I did like her in Doubt, but generally the type of films Streep does doesn't grab me.

[JamesG]

Um, Basic Instinct hello!! :D

Well that all depends on taste really. If you like pointless action or "bad" erotic thrillers then yes Sharon is better.

I respect that, because it's personal preference. I like plenty of cheesy movies myself. I was just going on quality, which Meryl has demonstrated time and time again, and Sharon...not so much. Basic Instinct and Casino are basically what she's known for, where Meryl has countless well-received and memorable performances.

[catlover79]

Um, Basic Instinct hello!! :D
Well, to each his own!! :lol: :D

You're right it all comes down to preference but if you go by critics, ratings, and awards Meryl owns Sharon.

I did see her in this political thriller from a couple of years ago. It was Rendition with Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal about terrorism. However, it wasn't really marketed as a Streep film it was more on Jake and Reese.

For Sharon you're right about that. Basic Instinct 2 was a waste of my money.

What did you think of Rendition? I bought it at a pawn shop over a year ago and still haven't watched it.

Little slow at times but overall it was good. I haven't seen it since it first came out so I honestly don't remember it much.

It was WAY better than that other political thriller she did Lions for Lambs.

[Liza]

Plus Meryl is a ugly name LOL. Why would her parents name her that?

They didn't :rolleyes: She was born Mary Louise Streep. I think it's a cute combination.

[Liza]

:nod: Exactly. Meryl's by far the better actress, and to add insult to injury, is 10 years older than Sharon and has four children! Yet I would go to the new MS movie long before a new SS movie.

True, Sharon was in "Bobby" but no one saw that movie because she was in it. Honestly the first time I saw it I didn't even notice her!

[isiahthomas]

I don't care what ya'll Sharon Stone haters say. She's my baby and i love her. She's a sexy woman and she's still hot even though she's aged a little. I loved Sharon in The Specialist with Sylvester Stallone, Eric Roberts, James Woods, Basic Instinct(part 2 did suck bad LOL), Casino, Action Jackson, Above The Law, Police Academy 4. She did a movie called Broken Flowers i saw with Bill Murray and Jessica Lange. It was boring. I kinda liked her in Diabolique with Chazz Palminteri and i liked her in Alpha Dog movie with Bruce Willis and Justin Timberlake.

[Dr. Thong]

Everyone went to see Basic Instinct.

No one went to see Basic Instinct II.

Stick a fork in Sharon Stone -- she's done.

I did.. well I rented it. :o

At least you're honest. :lol:

How could I forget Police Academy 4? :eek: The Deer Hunter, Out of Africa, Kramer vs. Kramer are just nothing next to that one ;)

[catlover79]

Let's just hope Sharon doesn't do a remake of Caligula. ;) :rofl:

Heh, I'm hoping to come across Malcolm McDowell in one of the local conventions so he can sign my Special Edition DVD.

Almost met him a couple of years ago but he was "on break" when I went down there.

[70s show watcher]

Meryl is full of grace and Sharon is full of crap.you hit the nail on the head there

[Dr. Thong]

I did.. well I rented it. :o

Ah-ha! So, you're the one!;)

[James"Thunder"Early]

Sharon is an fairly decent actress, but Meryl Streep is in the master class of acting and there aren't many that can top her.

[JamesG]

Ah-ha! So, you're the one!;)

Well Isiah mentioned he saw it so that's only two of the population..

It wasn't very good at all. I was hoping David Thewlis was going to make it watchable but not even he could.

[isiahthomas]

LOL. I was very disappointed in Basic Instinct 2. Only thing good about it is the movie poster showing Sharon sitting with her legs crossed hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. She shouldn't have done it if she knew Michael Douglas hadn't agreed to do the sequel. She did another recent movie last fall with rapper 50 Cent and Val Kilmer called Streets Of Blood that wasn't all that great.

[JT]

I don't get the harsh remarks. She wasn't trying to bash Streep, and if she was, then she was bashing herself too, because she specifically says "That's what I look like."

[Amanda Woodward]

Allan Quartermain (ter-ir-ble , not funny nor exciting :rolleyes:
PA4 (kinda cool with the balloons)
Total Recall :)
Sliver (poor man's Basic Instinct but kinda like it)
Diabolique :)
Sphere :)
Casino :D

Her Magnum PI episode :crazy:

[catlover79]

Wasn't she also in Action Jackson?? :eek:

[TJL]

Wasn't she also in Action Jackson?? :eek:

Actually, that was a good movie, and she had a pretty small part in it.

On of the HBO channels was running Basic Instinct last night.

If she still insists she's had no plastic surgery, she's a better actress than we are giving her credit for.

;)

[Dragonflies]

I don't think anyone's being harsh. It wasn't necessary for Sharon to say something like this at all. There are ways she can praise Meryl without saying what she said.

[JamesG]

Total Recall :)

I think that Total Recall is one of the best films that Schwarzenegger has ever done.

[isiahthomas]

I disagree. Total Recall was weird. I think his best movies are The Terminator 1 and 2, Commando, Red Heat. Liza, those Meryl movies you named are boring and Sharon's movies are better than all of Meryl's boring movies LOL.

[Liza]

Liza, those Meryl movies you named are boring and Sharon's movies are better than all of Meryl's boring movies LOL.

They also all won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Sharon hasn't been in one movie that has achieved that, Meryl's been in three.

Has Sharon really been in any quality films since Casino?

[JamesG]

Has Sharon really been in any quality films since Casino?

In terms of major praise and awards, no.

She was nominated for the Golden Globe in Best Actress for The Mighty (1998) and The Muse (1999) which were both commercial flops.

In recent years I guess you can say her "best" films are probably Alpha Dog (2005) and Bobby (2006) which were limited releases but got mostly positive reception.

Thanks! I do recall seeing The Muse years ago, and she was quite good in it. I haven't seen the other titles.

[JamesG]

Yes those are all good but I really think Total Recall is one of his best.

There really is no other movie like it and it's unlike anything Arnold has ever done.

[comedyfreak]

All Sharon is, is eye candy no substance. Meryl's filmography and achievements speak for themselves.

[isiahthomas]

So what Meryl has won academy awards. Her movies suck LOL. Sharon Stone's movies are better than her's and i don't care what ya'll say. Sharon is definitely eye candy LOL. I used to have a picture of her on my wall that showed her naked with a towel covering her body while she was sitting in a chair hahahahahahahahaha. I should've kept that picture LOL.
