Stone Slammed By Peta Over Spider Amputation

Sharon Stone is back in trouble with animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), after revelations she forced filmmakers to mutilate a spider. Acting legend Ernest Borgnine claims Stone - his co-star in 1981 horror film Deadly Blessing - insisted a tarantula have its pincers removed before she would shoot a scene with it. He reveals, "Sharon wanted the spider's pincers removed." And Peta bosses are furious. Spokesperson Ingrid Newkirk tells the New York Post, "She chose to make a tiny insect an amputee. Perhaps she should change her name legally to 'Heart of Stone'" Earlier this month Newkirk wrote Stone a letter, offering Stone a brain scan after the actress suggested China's recent earthquake tragedy was "karma" for the way the nation treat Tibetans.
