Lisa Kron, one of the Five Lesbian Brothers, just opened her autobiographical play Well on Broadway last night and got an almost-rave from Ben Brantley at the Times.

We’ve been really enjoying Sharon Stone’s peerless nuttiness during her whirlwind press tour for Basic Instinct 2 (in theaters today!) Salon’s got an annotated round-up of all the best soundbites from her recent interviews, including a quote that goes something like this: “Is she naked? Nude? Nude? Naked? Do I see her boobies?
