Sharon Stone claims she had a heated 'argument' with Michael Douglas before Basic Instinct
Sharon Stone had an "argument" with Michael Douglas before they starred in Basic Instinct together. The pair featured as the leads in the 1992 erotic thriller but she recalled that they had previously got into a row at the Cannes Film Festival which meant they didn't do a screen test together. In an interview with Business Insider, Sharon said: "(He) did not want to put his bare a** out on the screen with an unknown - and I understood that. "He wouldn't even test with me, but that was also for a different reason: We had an argument prior to that." The 67-year-old actress continued: "A bunch of us were all sitting, and he was talking about someone and their kids. I really, really knew this person he was talking about. "So I said something and he responded to me, saying, 'What the f*** do you know?' It was in regard to a father-child relationship. "Clearly, it triggered him. So he screams this at me across a whole group of people. And I'm not the person who goes, 'Oh, excuse me, superstar.' I pushed back my chair and said to him, 'Let's step outside.' That's how we first met. "I explained to him what the f*** I knew about this family he was speaking about, and that I was best friends with the children and the parent. And then we parted, I wouldn't say as best friends, but amicably. "So, fast forward to casting Basic Instinct, I don't think he wanted me to be his co-star." However, Michael's representative Allen Burry claims that the Wall Street star, 80, is "very surprised" by Sharon's claims as "he doesn't remember any argument in that timeframe" between the pair. Burry told People: "He actually only remembers seeing and meeting Sharon for the first time when he saw (director) Paul Verhoeven's screen test of her for Basic Instinct and (Michael) said, 'Absolutely, she's the one.'" He added that Douglas "definitely spent time" with Stone at Cannes but that was when they were promoting Basic Instinct. Burry said: "And by the time they'd done the movie, they were friends." Sharon added that the previously fraught dynamic between the duo "worked great" once they got on set as she was "not rattled" by his fiery temper. The Casino star said: "That was interesting for the character because Michael has a temper, and I didn't care. That worked well in our dynamic." Sharon stressed that the argument is in the past and that the pair are now good pals. She said: "Eventually, we became the greatest of friends, to this day. "I admire him tremendously."

Beauty Diary: Sex worker's shock act with popular $20 Coles item
The creator of a $20 product sold in Coles has responded to a sex worker's recent viral video, warning the item is 'not originally intended' for the way it was used in the clip. Blue Eyed Kayla Jade, a 'full service' worker who lives on the Gold Coast, has amassed millions of followers thanks to her candid client confessions. Along with juicy details about her X-rated exploits, she also shares her skincare and make-up tips, and regularly causes items to sell out. But her most recent video, a paid promotion with personal care brand GEM, has raised eyebrows after she used a razor to shave her face. Fans were stunned by the adult content creator's unusual technique, in fact, even the brand's creator Georgia Geminder was so shocked by how Kayla used the grooming essential. 'The razors weren't originally intended for that, more so for legs, bikini, underarms, etc,' she told The Beauty Diary. 'But if it works for Kayla, it works for us.' Women shaving their faces isn't new, but rarely is the task completed with a standard razor. Instead, those who like to remove their fine facial hairs, also known as peach fuzz, will use a dermaplaning tool to get the job done. Let's be clear, it's still a razor, but instead of a multi-barred long blade, a dermaplaning tool contains a tiny scalpel blade to exfoliate the skin which in the process also removes peach fuzz. And it's popularity lies in the fact it results in smoother skin that helps skincare products absorb better as well as giving a flawless finish when used with beauty products such as foundation and bronzer. In Kayla's video, she explained she was shaving her face to make her make-up 'sit so much better' after experiencing unexpected facial hair growth recently. After lathering her face in shaving foam, Kayla then proceeds to use Gem's 'Skin-Loving Shaving Kit' on her cheeks, before taking the razor down onto her chin and ending on her forehead. 'This shaver has made my legs insanely smooth, so I know that it will work so well on my face,' she states, as it glides over her skin. Concerned fans however were quick to flood the video, which has clocked up over 600,000 views in the past 24 hours, to warn the star against face shaving. 'Duudddeee you need a dermaplaning blade for that, easier to control and not shave your eyebrows off,' one said. 'You need to get an actual derma blade, don't use those normal razors,' agreed another. As one claimed: 'Your hair will grow back thicker with a normal blaze.' So can you get the same effect using a regular razor as a dermaplaning tool? According to Ms Geminder, if men can shave their face, so can women. 'Gone are the days where we have to use our boyfriends/brothers/husbands/etc razors to achieve a precise shave,' she said. 'Gem razors provide a premium, men's-grade shaving experience (minus the ugly packaging), and we love Kayla putting them to the test. 'Plus, if men can do it – we should too. Just make sure to proceed with caution, we don't want any missing eyebrows.' Gem's 'category-disrupting razors' launched into Coles last month after taking Ms Geminder two years to perfect, and the beauty entrepreneur said shoppers are snapping the item up like crazy. 'To be honest our razors have been a crowd favourite since they launched in Coles last month with 1 product selling every minute,' she said. 'Kayla's post has gone wild, and while it's too soon to know if it has had a direct impact on sales, I can see from web traffic that lots of people are trying to shop the Skin-Loving Shaving Kit. 'From experience, Kayla definitely always sells us out, which is why we love to collaborate with her.'

Insta-glam home comes with roulette table, Ferrari garage
Want to take a sneak peek inside a Bulimba new-build that's drawing a whole lot of Instagram interest courtesy of its sleek interior and iconic façade? Mosman will open its doors at 11am tomorrow (August 2) for half an hour, marking only the second public viewing of the property after the first inspection drew a crowd of more than 300 people. FBI Interiors owners Michael and Natalie Ajaje worked with Tim Stewart Architects and McBryde Builders to bring the epic build to life and say their vison for the home was simple. 'We wanted to build one of the best houses in Bulimba, if not Brisbane,' Mr Ajaje said. Set on an 814sq m block, the home is known as 'Mosman' and marks the latest in a series of designer properties that the Ajajes have completed in recent years. MORE: Alice Cooper's in the living room: Hilarious Aussie listings revealed Qld acreage comes with insane 'Dad's Bar' with beer on tap Qld property: How much your home is worth now Described as their 'biggest and best' project to date, it spans three levels and has a commanding street presence due to timber cladding and white battened façade. 'The façade is very unique,' Mr Ajaje conceded. 'It's designed to set the house apart as it's a beautiful home and it deserves to stand out.' Inside, the attention to luxury detail continues, with the five-bedroom residence boasting a beach club back yard, yoga studio, roulette table, eight-car basement garage, and a bespoke circular staircase that cost an eye watering $250,000. 'It's a house with a lot of big-ticket items,' Mr Ajaje said. 'That staircase is a stunner. It's like a piece of art that you might see in the Hilton or a museum.' Featuring soaring ceilings, curves, texture and a clever use of space, the property is also designed to be functional. 'It's three levels with a lift and suits everyone from large families to professional couples and even the bachelor lifestyle,' Mr Ajaje said. Upstairs are four of the property's five ensuited bedrooms including a sprawling 120sq m master suite that's the size of an average three-bedroom apartment. It comes complete with a dressing room worthy of a Rodeo Drive retailer and an ensuite that would be equally at home in an upmarket wellness retreat. 'We've used all the tools we love,' Mr Ajaje said. 'The aim was to create something that offers easy living, is modern and on trend where there are lots of zones for people to retreat to or come together.' The central level is all about that communal lifestyle and features an open plan lounge and kitchen space leading out to the outdoor entertaining area overlooking the pool and back yard. 'People love the size of the home and that area out the back,' Mr Ajaje said. 'It's the ultimate entertainer with a beach club vibe and it's built to stand the test of time.' Downstairs, the basement area includes a games room with casino grade roulette table, a wellness space including yoga room, and a fully tiled, eight-car garage with Ferrari mural. 'The basement ensures there's parking for everyone, but it could also easily be converted to a fully standalone living space to accommodate multi-generational living,' Mr Ajaje said. 'Mosman' is listed with Sarah Hackett of Place and is located at 23 Henderson St, Bulimba. 'I'd love to see it go to a local family with younger or older kids,' Mr Ajaje said. 'It's a beautiful big house that's among the best in Brisbane right now and if you miss it, you could be waiting a long time for something similar.'
