Forget the Paris and Nicole “Bimbo Battle”, the Lindsay and Hilary “Teenybopper Tussle”, or even the Jordan and Posh “Bitchy, British, and Bogus-Breasted Battle of the Tit-ans” . What I want is front row seats for Round 2 of the weirdest mudslinging match EVER–The Sharon Stone and Barry Manilow “Attack of the Aged and Confused”!

Sharon Stone attended the Billie Awards and helped raise a lot of cash for the Women’s Sport Foundation by helping to auction off tickets to Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball. She was reading a list of past attendees and was mooning over Rod Stweart not wearing underwear underneath his kilt (eewwwww, didn’t need that picture right before I go to bed, now I’m gonna have nightmares), when she decided to stick with the below the belt comments and said the following:

While auctioning off tickets to Elton John’s posh White Tie and Tiara Ball, Stone rattled off a list of past attendees, including Hugh Grant, Ben Stiller, Benicio del Toro, Diana Ross, Mary J. Blige and David and Victoria Beckham. “It’s unbelievable,” Stone said. “There are more stars than you could ever imagine.”

Stone swooned over Rod Stewart because he “sometimes comes in a kilt and no underpants, which I have to say I liked—kind of a lot!”

But when Manilow’s pic popped up on a monitor, Stone cracked, “Oh, look! That was after the third face lift…I mean, hip replacement.”

Both the pic and the article clip are from E! Online

Apparently Manilow’s rep hasn’t issued a comment about it, but a source close to Manilow has said that “it certainly shows her true colors”.

It makes me wonder what the hell Stone dislikes about Manilow so much that she felt it necessary to go all Catherine Tramell and make Manilow feel worse about having the least discreet face lift in history (seriously, the man is 64 years old, his hair shouldn’t be that blonde, it’s just not natural). He’s Barry Manilow, for Mandy’s sake! When he was on American Idol last year, he didn’t go on and say how shit Basic Instinct 2 was, did he?

I think Manilow should take a leaf out of Eminem’s book, go into his recording studio right now, and write a song dissing Stone, her craptacular movies, and that ridiculous dress she wore that one time when she thought people from behind her were actually clapping at how fabulous she thought she looked. Nobody should mess with the musical genius that wrote Copacabana and get away with it!
