Sharon Stone has left movie chiefs with a bill for thousands of pounds after she and her family made a mess with Chinese food at a London hotel room.

The 47-year-old "Basic Instinct" star refused the meal on offer at London's landmark 30 St. Mary Axe while filming scenes for "Basic Instinct II".

She instead ordered caterers to fetch a Chinese meal costing 400 pounds that she had brought to her room, reports Sky News.

"The room was well and truly trashed," an insider was quoted as saying. And producers for the film - a follow-up to the classic in which she appeared opposite Michael Douglas - were forced to pick up the tab.
