Fashion Victims
Hollywood has always had the ability to turn something that is very new into something that is very old very quickly. Right now that seems to be happening with the retro duds genre. What started out as a good idea with films like Dazed and Confused, Boogie Nights and Velvet Goldmine--which introduced the young to the terrifying fashions of the '70s, while serving as a grim reminder to Baby Boomers who had lived through that sartorially toxic era--is now getting a bit out of hand.

Sharon Stone left the spotlight, encountered white light and now sees life in a new light altogether. Here she talks about her return to the screen and the strange changes she's been through in the last few years - everything from miraculous healing and communicating with the beyond to restarting her career and ending her marriage.
