Sharon Stone sure loves a good sex scene - we've all seen just how much in her steamy, 1992 hit "Basic Instinct". Trouble is, one glance at your desk calendars will show you that the year is now 2008, and Sharon is better known now for being a ruthless fur supporter than a sex symbol, whose second foray into the world of "Basic Instinct" ended with a disastrous box office flop. However, Sharon is quite keen to show to the world that she's still got what it takes to steal the show with one flash of her un-crossed legs, and she did just that while attending a forum in France.

Lucy for the French (well, for the whole world actually), Sharon kept her murderous alter ego instincts in check as she addressed the audience at the Sorbonne university in Paris. However, during her address, she somehow managed to recreate the infamous pose that made her equally infamous character Catherine Tramell such a hit with the male segment of the audience over 15 years ago. Stone was attending the Cité de la Réussite forum, an event which takes place every year in France and hosts debates on various topics, raging from culture to economy, philosophy and politics. During her talk, she assumed a rather risque pose and although she didn't go for the full flash, allowed her fellow participants in the discussion quite an eyeful.

Sharon also spiced up her Paris stay by enjoying some quality time in the company of a mystery man. The pair stayed at the Ritz and were spotted walking hand in hand for a trip to the Eiffel Tower. They also visited an exhibition at Centre Pompidou. Sharon's love life has been pretty quiet ever since she divorced newspaper editor Phil Bronstein in 2004, and this is the first time in a long interval when the actress is seen with a male companion. Sharon kept it classy for her sightseeing tour, sporting a black skirt and coat, red high heels and a leopard-print handbag. She mercifully abstained from wearing one of her trademark fur coats.
