Sharon Stone flapped her way through a speech at the recent opening of a luxurious resort in Turkey - stunning the crowd with her admission she had never heard of the country's fierce ally Azerbaijan.
The Basic Instinct actress was paid a staggering $1.5 million just to emcee at the launch of the Mardan Palace in Antalya - Europe's most expensive luxury resort - on Saturday.
Stars including Mariah Carey, Tom Jones and Paris Hilton were all paid the same fee to show their faces at the bash.
But despite the hefty pay check, Stone failed to impress her Turkish hosts by mis-pronouncing neighboring country Azerbaijan - and she left them baffled by shouting out the name of soul diva Chaka Khan instead.
She shouted out to the crowd while tying to read from an autocue, "Azerbaijan? What is that? I can't pronounce this! Chaka Khan! Chaka Khan!"
Hollywood Liberal Looney ping.
Sharon should just close her.....
Better for Buddha-Babe to keep her mouth shut and be thought an idiot than to open it and confirm it....again
For the record, singer Chaka Khan is a former Black Panther. Not that she actually has anything to do with the story.
"Chaka Khan" "panther":

She might not know Alabama from Albania, but she’s still well-qualified to speak on any liberal cause with full knowledge and authority.
That girl in the Miss Teen USA pageant was right about those who may not have access to maps.
It is evident that when Sharon Stone crossed and uncrossed her legs in Basic Instinct in 1992, her brains fell out.
