Wait! Why has no-one told me they're doing an Adams Family remake starring Sharon Stone? I mean, I totally loved Angelica Huston's performance as Morticia, why have they replaced her with the queen of vagina-flashing on screen? Oh, OK, I got it, it's only Sharon Stone attending an event in Dubai - I would love to be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but it's no great improvement. The more pressing issue is that Sharon still insists on going out in public draped in all sorts of fur - and that's bound to say something about her views on animal rights - not to mention her rather exhausted fashion sense.

The problem is, something about Sharon's outfit just doesn't click for me. There's an underlying quality, a defiance of sorts, something deeply hidden that still manages to surface in Sharon's attitude. I look at this photo of hers and I imagine her naked in front of a mirror at home, standing in a room stuffed full with fur coats, laughing hysterically - kind of in that trademark Cruella de Ville way. I don't know why I get this feeling - it may be that she has a certain air of merciless self-content, the kind I usually associate with someone who likes to torture kittens and kick Cocker Spaniel puppies.

Maybe it's all because Sharon feels that she's doing something that's not quite right. You know, like when you're parking your car in someone else's space and you know that you're going to find your fuming neighbor waiting for you with a baseball bat the following morning, but you do it anyway and face him with a look of pure contempt. Or maybe no one has yet told Sharon that fur is NOT cool these days, especially since animal rights activists have been reaching more and more celebrity ears of late, persuading them to stop wearing fur on the red carpet.

Well, there's no stopping Sharon, though. It may very well be that she's still deluded about her own fashion sense. Like when she stepped out in that ridiculously revealing tracksuit and showed the world that her vagina was still firmly in place, even after the second "Basic Instinct" movie was a total flop. Well, in any case, I do hope someone manages to reach Sharon and tell her fur is not cool - and maybe then we'll get to see her wearing some normal-looking outfits again. But I wouldn't get my hopes up, if i were you.
