Sharon Stone looking hot in Georgia

Sharon Stone happens to be in Tbilisi for a premier of "5 Days of August," a film about the 2008 Georgian war with Russia. 

The movie features Andy Garcia, who was also in town, but Stone, who isn't in the film, flew to Tbilisi, too, and commanded besotted attention. Some Moscow-based foreign correspondents, such as Andrew Osborn of the Daily Telegraph in London, write that the film is likely to worsen tensions between Russia and Georgia.

Not only was the director himself in town for the event, but so were the film's actors Andy Garcia, Dean Cain and others. However, the most important guest invited for the premiere was  Sharon Stone.

Flying in from Moscow where she attended the Muz.TV Awards, Stone arrived a day before the film crew who flew all the way from Los Angeles.

Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili even hosted the actress on her first night, introducing her to night views of Tbilisi from the Presidential Palace. The tour of his official residence also turned out to be fun for the host as well as the guest. Footage was widely aired on Georgian television.
