Sharon Stone arrives at the International Rendez Vous Cinema Verite 2007 Gala Dinner

Sharon Stone and Bernard-Henri Levy, who had tongues wagging when the French intellectual stayed at the “Basic Instinct” star’s L.A. manse last year, are teaming up again – this time for a pair of fake political ads mocking the 2008 presidential race. They appear separately in 60-second spots as “Patricia Hill and Patrick Hill,” each seeking the White House. It’s the brainchild of artist Francesco Vezzoli, who parodied Hollywood with “Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal’s ‘Caligula.’ ” Stone, said to play a “Hillary Clinton type,” helped Vezzoli write the parody. “It’s a farce,” Stone’s rep told us. Advising Vezzoli were Mark McKinnon, who was President Bush’s top ad strategist and currently works for Sen. John McCain, and Jim Mulhall of Squier Knapp Dunn, Bill Clinton’s creative team in 1996. Vezzoli, who says the ads reflect “the manipulative strategies of political communication,” will debut them next week at the 51th Venice Biennale. Levy is married to actress Arielle Dombasle and denies romancing the Stone.

“Sharon Stone gave me her panties as a present before we did the famous [crotch] shot,” “Basic Instinct” director Paul Verhoeven confided to writer Gre gory Speck the other night at Osteria del Circo after the screening of his new “Black Book.” Verhoeven also said Stone “had approved the storyboards, even though she later acted surprised by what made it into the movie.” “Black Book” is about Dutch resistance against the Nazis at the end of World War II. At the next table, rock concert impresario Ron Delsener was captivated by the movie’s star, Carice van Houten, who dyes her pubic hair blond to seduce a sensitive Gestapo chief played by Sebastian Koch. While Verhoeven says the movie “is re ally about exposing the worst and best aspects of human nature, which, in desperation for survival, forces everyone into hypocrisy and betrayal,” the co-stars spent so much time nude in bed they have become real-life lovers.
