(Newser) – Actress Sharon Stone consistently overreacted to what she saw as medical issues involving her young son and once planned to use botox injections in his feet to stop foot odor, TMZ reports. The bizarre behavior surfaced in a judge's ruling granting custody of 8-year-old Roan to his father, San Francisco newspaperman Phil Bronstein.

"As father appropriately noted, the simple and common sense approach of making sure Roan wore socks with his shoes and used foot deodorant corrected the problem without the need for any invasive procedure on this young child," the judge noted. "Unfortunately, the problem caused by mother's overreactions is painfully real for this child."

Jose Vargas Duped Me— But Does That Matter?

Former boss weighs in on illegal immigrant's confession

(NEWSER) - The editor-at-large of the San Francisco Chronicle was "duped" by his former employee Jose Antonio Vargas, the journalist who recently admitted to being an illegal immigrant . "Jose lied to me and everyone else he worked for, and that's not kosher, especially in a profession where facts and, more elusively, the truth are considered valuable commodities," writes Phil Bronstein. Even so, it's worth questioning how Vargas' lies, and ultimately his confession, will impact "the atrociously rudderless but vicious debate on immigration reform." More»
