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.
