As you (hopefully) already know, earlier this month - on May 12th - a deadly earthquake hit China's southwest Sichuan province.

The tragedy left almost 88,000 people missing or dead, with estimates that nearly 70,000 people were killed.

Then just a week later at the Cannes Film Festival, Sharon Stone said something that has sparked controversy worldwide.

She blamed the Chinese for getting the earthquake, due to their bad karma!

WTF?!?!

Stone said, "I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma — when you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"

The remarks have caused uproars in China.

They have already promised to boycott her and her films.

Of course, after the bad press, Stone has apologized for suggesting the earthquake came due to their bad karma. And to try and do good, she's offered to help with the relief efforts and cleanup.

Stone says, "My erroneous words and deeds angered and saddened the Chinese people, and I sincerely apologise for this. I'm willing to participate in any earthquake relief activity and to do my utmost to help Chinese people affected by the disaster."

Some celebrities should just stick to acting and keep quiet when it comes to politics.

It's nice to see celebs working for a good cause.

Thursday night at Cannes, Sharon Stone held the annual Cinema Against AIDS AmFar dinner.

Several stars showed up to the event to help raise money, most notable among them was Madonna, who allowed Stone to put up for auction her Karl Lagerfeld diamond encrusted custom-designed handbag.

The purse included her Madgesty's lip balm, lip gloss, compact mirror, hair clips, and lozenges. Oh and she even threw in her face blotting paper.

Uhm. Yea.

She blotted her face and body on stage, gave it to Stone, who also blotted herself and said, “There’s a lot of DNA there now. In case there’s a murder you’ll have the evidence.”

Sticky and sweet!

Together, the purse and all the items inside Madonna's handbag brought in about $1.5 million.

It must have hurt Madonna's ego just a bit, since she expected the items to sell for much more.

She told the crowd, “It’s not the bag, baby, it’s the thought.” And as for the blotting paper she added, “I’m wearing, I’m rubbing it against my body. Don’t insult me.”

Madonna also put up one of her guitars for auction and a prize of winning her sing two songs in private to the winner before a concert this fall while she's on tour.

The songs also helped bring in money with the original bid being at about $500,000, to which Madonna joked, “I’m worth more than that! People have asked me to play at their bar mitzvahs!”

The songs ended up selling for a bit over $600,000 which caused Madonna to lean into the mic and say, "Don’t humiliate me."

Does Madge think she's worth millions?

Well, she probably is, but not at an auction!

As for her white acoustic guitar, it was purchased by a young Russian man for almost $600,000. The guy later said he'd give it back to Madonna so she could have an orphan in Malawi learn to play it.

Nice!

Other celebs helped by purchasing dinner tickets at $5,000 such as Christian Slater, Diddy, Natalie Portman, Star Jones, Dita Von Teese, and Rose McGowan.

With the help of many other celebrities at the event, Stone was able to raise $10 million this year, a $3 million improvement from last year.

Congrats!

Sharon Stone hasn't had a hit movie in well over a decade, but at least she looks good!

The 50-year-old (for reals) was presented with an award by the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center at their annual Women's Night party on Saturday night.

They just gave her an award so she'd show up!

We're all for trying to "protect" your child and their privacy, but do a better job at it, woman!

Sharon Stone and her eldest son arrived at LAX airport this past weekend.

Poor kid fell on his ass after mommy covered his face with her hands.

Speaking of faces, why is Sharon's so red???

She probably gets all the wrinkles and shit lasered off every six weeks!

That hair does nothing for her!

Dressed in a power suit and channeling The Devil Wears Prada, Sharon Stone took in a little shopping in Paris on Thursday.

The actress, who hasn't been in a hit film in, like, forever, is finally starting to look her age.

Sharon just turned 73 50. And she looks it!

Madonna and Sharon Stone will be co-hosting Harvey Weinstein's annual Cinema Against AIDS gala at Cannes this year!

Seal is scheduled to perform at the gala. That means everyone will be treated to the yummy mummy Heidi Klum, too!

That's not all for her Madgesty at Cannes! The night before the gala, Madge's documentary I Am Because We Are will be shown at the film festival. Madonna produced, a guy named Nathan Rissman directed. The film profiles children orphaned by AIDS in Malwai.

Guy has been so event shy these days. If Madge needs a date, we're available!
