Sharon Stone seems to have gotten a bee in her bonnet before boarding a flight to Salt Lake City yesterday. Stylelist.com quotes a witness onboard her flight who says the trouble began before she even got on the plane.
“The flight attendant in Kalispell asked her to check her bag at the gate, and Sharon refused and got into a huge fight with her. They eventually took the bag from her and she screamed at her assistant with her and made a scene during the entire flight.”
That’s only the beginning, according to the witness, who added, “When the plane got to Salt Lake City it was met by armed Salt Lake City police officers. She was detained. It’s not clear if she was arrested.”
However Sharon’s rep, Paul Bloch, denies the police side of the story, saying the person who met her at the airport was “private security hired by Sharon. She was not detained by police,” and that she wasn’t even traveling with an assistant.
“Sharon had been visiting her father in Montana, and was approved to take both bags on the plane. When she got to the plane, she told me the stewardess screamed at her that she couldn’t take both bags on board,” said Bloch.

Any budget beauty or fashion tips?
“I always say ‘keep it natural, keep it simple,’” he tells me. “People tend to overdo it. People ask ‘what can I do on the red carpet? I want to have a more relaxed look.’ Just be confident in yourself. Don’t think because of the makeup, because of the hair, because of the gown, you’re going to look fantastic. There’s enough fashion faux pas out there. You have to feel fantastic and the camera will pick it up.”
Nigel perks up when asked about his favorite body part.
“I’m more of a butt guy than I am a boob guy,” he laughs. “And legs as well. Legs and butt are very important — and feet. I’ve got a bit of a foot fetish. I’m all about the lower part of the body.”
Nice.
Despite pleas from the government to cancel his trip, Nigel traveled to Haiti to document the situation so that he could raise awareness about their desperate plight. (It’s just 45 minutes from the U.S.) His striking photographs adorn the walls tonight.
Giving back is key to the British-born father of two, 36, who is married to Cristen Chin.
“I think it’s fantastic that stars like Angelina Jolie get involved with charity,” he tells me. “The more people the better. We need to help out more in general, and on Top Model we always go on about our girls becoming role models. It’s not a joke. It’s important. If you’re in a position where people listen to you or you’re in the public eye, that celebrity should be used for something. It shouldn’t just be used to make your life better. I guess it’s an Asian thing, but the pleasure is in the giving in my family.”
He continues, “When you have children, it’s not when the kid gives you something, it’s when you give your son something and you see that smile on their face. We can all identify with that. Charity’s the same way. When you help people and they are physically moved by what you’ve done or you’ve changed their life, there’s nothing in the world that makes you feel better.”
I ask designer Zang Toi whether he’s spoken to Farrah Fawcett recently. (She was diagnosed with cancer of the intestine in 2006.) The Charlie’s Angels star has been his muse, and I once had time with her backstage after one of his shows.
“I haven’t talked to her for several months,” Zang tells me. “I try to leave a message every two weeks. I just left a message at Christmas, but the last time I called about six weeks ago, I spoke to the housekeeper and she said she’s fine, so I hope she’s OK.”
Any fashion advice?
“Create your own style, and don’t follow trends blindly. You have to understand yourself, and have your own individual look.”
He gives props to “glamorous” Sharon Stone, “original” Drew Barrymore and “youthful” Cameron Diaz for having the best style.
Um, Sharon?
“Anything I mention to my clients – if Sharon has it, they all want it.”
In the latest news in Sharon Stone’s ongoing battle for physical custody of her 8-year-old son Roan, whom she adopted with her ex-husband Phil Bronstein, court papers obtained by Extra reveal details of a tentative decision int he case.
According to the documents, Roan’s main residence will be Phil’s home, and Sharon will have visitation rights one weekend a month. Roan will also spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with his mother, and there are arrangements for custody of Roan on major holidays and during summer breaks.
There are also bizarre glimpses into requests made by Sharon concerning Roan in the Tentative Statement of Decision documents, according to TMZ.
"Mother appears to overreact to many medical issues involving Roan," the documents reveal. The judge also says he thinks Sharon believed Roan had a spinal condition, "there was no evidence to support this allegation."
Even weirder?
"Another example of an overreaction is that Mother suggested that Roan should have Botox injections in his feet to resolve a problem he had with foot odor," the documents state. "As Father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the odor problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child."
Sharon lost joint physical custody of her son last week, after pleading with the court to let her retain joint legal and physical custody with her ex. However Sept. 12 court hearing documents state that Sharon "had failed to meet her burden of proof and [the court]" and they denied the "Respondent’s [Sharon's] request for modification of custody."
Sharon and Phil were married in 1998 and adopted Roan, who was born in 2000, before divorcing in 2004. Sharon is also mother to adopted children Laird Vonne Stone and Quinn Kelly.
Sharon Stone has lost joint physical custody of her son Roan, according to a court order obtained by Entertainment Tonight.
The Basic Instinct star had pleaded with the court to let her retain joint legal and physical custody over 8-year-old Roan with ex-husband Phil Bronstein, but the Sept. 12 court hearing documents state that Sharon "had failed to meet her burden of proof and [the court] denies Respondent’s [Sharon's] request for modification of custody."
Phil was granted sole physical custody, which the judge says is permanent unless there is a change in circumstances.
Sharon and Phil were married in 1998 and adopted Roan, who was born in 2000, before divorcing in 2004. Sharon is also mother to adopted children Laird Vonne Stone and Quinn Kelly.
Sharon Stone has filed court papers seeking more time with her oldest son, Extra reports.
According to court documents, the 50-year-old filed a motion in April to modify her custody situation with ex-husband Phil Bronstein, who currently has primary custody of their son Roan, 8.
Roan was the only child the couple had during their six-year marriage. The two adopted Roan shortly after his birth in 2000. Since their 2004 divorce, Sharon has adopted two more sons, Laird, 3, in 2005, and Quinn, 2, two years ago.
