Basic Instinct star Sharon Stone has angered the people of Norway after breaking with royal protocol and upstaging the country's King and Queen at a banquet. Stone may have wanted to make a grand entrance at Sunday's dinner honoring the Nobel Peace Prize winners in Oslo, but ended up making a royal faux pas by arriving late. Royal protocol in Europe dictates that when a King and Queen attend an event, everyone is required to be in their seats when the royal couple make their entrance, making them the last to arrive. Stone offended the Norwegian royal couple by waltzing into the room 10 minutes after the couple, which has been interpreted by Norwegians as the actress declaring herself more important than the King. This year's event was especially significant because it marked the first time that Norway's King Harald V and Queen Sonja were invited to the annual Nobel Banquet at Oslo's Grand Hotel. Stone's late arrival offended several guests, with former palace official Carl-Erik Grimstad calling it a "violation" of international custom. He tells Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, "When the king is invited to such an event, guests need to have a very good reason for arriving after he does. I'm sure that if she didn't have a good reason, she'll be sorry about it."
She has people who think for her. Some advance-details person KNEW about Kingly protocol and told her. Fatuous airheads don't just live life, or even make peanut butter sandwiches, without help.
You may have forgotten Hillary- avert-your-eyes-as-I-pass-by-Clinton.
God help us all if that woman becomes President. She'll make the royal families of this world look like serfs.
Especially after Basic Instinct II.
"It's good to be the King."
Royalty? What an antiquated concept. Tell'em to get a job!
****God help us all if that woman becomes President. She'll make the royal families of this world look like serfs.****
I disagree, her arrogance, her ignorance of manners, her way of treating those she deems beneath her, her total lack of class. Will make her look like an ass and royalty may start looking good again. She is the atypical ugly American.
"Why was she issued a head..."
I guess because it has a mouth.
Now, why the vocal chords, I don't have a clue....:]
Can you imagine a class event the doors open, The badn begine to play "Hail to the Chief" and oput walks this skank with her rapist hisband on her arm?
Thats enough to make Linda Lovelace gag.
She should have pulled rank and showed them her Mensa membership card.
The remote control models?
I noticed the control cords.
Nice looking folks. Personally I think Their Majesties ought to be keeping better company.
BTW I watched a lovely program about the White House Christmas decorations. The First Lady always plays a major part in choosing and supervising the decorations; White House Christmas card and invitations.
Would Bubba be in charge during a Hitlery administration?
Back to condoms?
