Sharon Stone‘s former nanny, Erlinda Elemen, is suing Stone for being a racist and an all around horrible boss. The nanny, who is Filipino, accuses Stone of ordering her not to speak to Stone’s children—lest they begin to speak like her—and forbidding her from reading the Bible in Stone’s home. The nanny also alleges she was asked to repay Stone for overtime she earned, and was then fired. Considering Sharon Stone’s batshit comments that the devastating China earthquake was possibly “karma” for the Chinese government’s treatment of Tibet, I put this one down as plausible. Naturally, Stone’s camp is trying to put the fire out by claiming Elemen is just a money-grabbing famewhore. ”This is a frivolous lawsuit for absurd claims that are made-up and fabricated,” Stone’s reps said in a statement. “Sharon Stone will be completely vindicated in court.”

Meanwhile, in Cannes, we have PDAs to report on. The first involves the couple known as either KPattz, Robsten, or Bella and Edward, depending on which 14-year-old you poll. I was heretofore unclear on whether Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were actually dating, or if that was just a media fabrication, but apparently they kissed after a screening of KStew’s new film, On The Road, based on the book of the same name by Jack Kerouac. You know, the one that your trustafarian ex-boyfriend back in college extolled as “like, my Bible, man.” The only thing more unnecessary than a movie of On The Road is a “news” story about two famous people kissing in public, so I’m sorry for being worse than Jack Kerouac.

Not to be outcanoodled, Kim and Kanye were also seen kuddling on the beaches of Kannes. And, no, I will not ever tire of changing C words to K words in a story involving a Kardashian. GET USED TO IT.

Jim Parsons casually came out in a NY Times profile piece to the complete and utter surprise of exactly three people, all of them your adorably naive meemaw. Parsons has been in a committed relationship for over ten years and has never really spoken about his sexuality previously, largely because it’s nobody’s business. Also, do we care about the sexuality of people we never want to have sex with? He looks vaguely insectlike, that’s all I’m saying. Parsons plays the lesser of the two asexual poster children for Asperger’s currently on the tube. (Of course the number one asexual Asperger’s poster child is Abed from Community, and if you disagree with me on that point I’m going to have to sentence you to four hours of solitary confinement in the Dreamatorium.)

Snooki and her fiancé revealed they’re having a boy, so I hope they’re sure to add hair gel, Axe body spray, and Muscle Milk to their baby registry.

Elton John has canceled four performances of his “Million Dollar Piano” show at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, in order to recover from a “serious” upper respiratory infection. While I sincerely do hope The People’s Liberace gets well soon and all, I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t go ahead and add him to my list of category 2 celebrity death pool draft picks.

And, finally, there’s really no better way I can usher you into Friday than with the newly released red-band trailer for the summer’s completely factual historical biopic, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Little known fact: this is actually a documentary filmed in real time.
And you thought George Washington was the bad-assest president. He may save children (but not the British children), but last I checked Washington didn’t slay the undead.
