Sharon Stone sues surgeon

Actress Sharon Stone claims a Beverly Hills surgeon slandered and libeled her by allegedly telling magazines that he performed cosmetic surgery on her famous face.

The lawsuit cites articles in Us Weekly and In Touch magazines that raise the question of whether Stone had a face-lift and suggest it was done by plastic surgeon Renato Calabria.

The “Basic Instinct” star maintains that such allegations damaged her reputation and hurt her ability to find work.

She seeks unspecified damages in the suit, which was filed Monday in L.A. Superior Court.

Arturi Barens, an attorney for Calabria, said, “Dr. Calabria has never told anyone that he has performed surgery on Sharon Stone.”
