Get this -- Sharon Stone demands to approve all name-brand products that she holds or mentions (how picky is that?). She reserves the right to retain all wardrobe and jewelry from her films (even though the producers are the ones who paid for it). She demands no nudity (guess that means rice farming scenes in Nepal are out) unless it's already written in to an already approved-by-Sharon script. So, she wants the clothes that SHE didn't pay for and the producer can't opt for her to appear naked (thus, saving money on wardrobe)?
Number 5 really gets me -- "Dressing Facilities: First class, exclusive "pop-out" motor home with a fifth wheel and first class amenities and no one receives better facilities." What? She thinks she's better than the rest of the cast?
Further down it says "Sharon to pay all cellular bills" and then that's marked out with "NO" written beside it.
There are several other occurrences where they make it clear that the producer must pay.
So, in addition to their salary, the stars get all these other benefits??? Meanwhile, the producer still has to have the funds to shell out salaries for prop managers, set designers, cinematographers, caterers, stunt actors, wardrobe personnel, foley artists, screenwriters(!), and all those other little guys behind the scenes. So sure, people can argue all they want to about how the stars make enough and aren't losing money when regular Joes download and share movies from free. But it isn't the stars who have to worry about getting paid.
Grrrrrrr...rant over.
