CROWE AMAZED BY CHANGE IN STONE'S APPEARANCE

Hollywood hardman RUSSELL CROWE is convinced his former co-star SHARON STONE has undergone cosmetic surgery to maintain her stunning features.

The Oscar-winner, who starred alongside Stone in the 1995 western THE QUICK AND THE DEAD, suggests the BASIC INSTINCT actress should change her name because she looks "like an orang-utan".

He says, "A lot seems to have changed. When are you not you any more? At what point do you have to get a name change too?

"You can end up looking like a startled chimpanzee. The eyes are gone, the lips are like rubber tyres - or more like an orang-utan that has been kicked in the a**e."

Stone, 48, has always denied having cosmetic surgery and she sued leading Los Angeles surgeon RENATO CALABRIA in 2004 after he appeared to tell an American magazine he had given her a face-lift.

The case was settled out of court last year (05) when Dr Calabria agreed to provide free surgery for a charity working with children with facial abnormalities. His lawyer KEVIN LEICHTER said, "Dr Calabria did not perform plastic surgery on Ms Stone."
