Poor Dev Patel is learning the lessons of Hollywood the hard way. Sure, he thinks he's on top of the world, being the star of Slumdog Millionaire and being heaped with praise, but he doesn't know that there's a darkness looming. A darkness that could swallow him in one gulp so he'd never be seen again. A darkness named Sharon Stone. Says IMDb:
Sharon Stone is on the lookout for a new toyboy – the Hollywood actress made a play for Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards on Sunday.Stone, 50, reportedly dated 24-year-old Chase Dreyfous last year before their relationship cooled.And Stone proved she is keen on another young man – after the Basic Instinct star flirted with newcomer Patel, 18, on the red carpet at the prestigious film event.
He says, "Sharon's great, she's been flirting with me all night. She was chasing me around earlier, slapping me. Sharon Stone! Can you believe it?"
Isn't there some sort of Hollywood welcome wagon who gives every newcomer a survival kit? Phone numbers for lawyers adept at getting celebs out of DUIs, publicists capable of convincing the public that that tranny prostie was really your aunt, and good plastic surgeons who can fix the work of bad plastic surgeons? And doesn't that survival kit come with a picture of Jack Nicholson (for the young ladies) or Sharon Stone (for the gents) and a warning to avoid their gazes and goosings at all costs?
