Sharon Stone 'upset' over inaugural ball snub

The only celebrity who didn't leave Washington, D.C. happily after US president Barack Obama's historic inauguration was Sharon Stone, because she and her friends were denied entry to one of the night's 10 glitzy balls.

The Basic Instinct actress was caught on camera pleading with organisers of the Western States Inauguration Ball to let her gang in.

And the actress is still upset for being barred from the ball where Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were performing.

"My friends can't come in? Then I can't come in. We're not doing that," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.
