Sharon Stone, typical single mom?

Okay, I was reading an article from the Boston Herald that Michelle Malkin referenced with regard to George Lucas and his preachy pandering, and I read across the following:

Meanwhile, a stunning [Sharon] Stone, snug in a skin-tight Herve Leger black dress and long blond fall, was applauded when she spoke not about "Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction" but of having adopted her second son, Laird Vonne ("Vonne is my middle name and was my aunt's name"), who joins his brother, Roan.

"It's certainly challenging to work, have two kids and do the work I do for AIDS," said Stone, who flies back to chair the Cannes Cinema Against AIDS AMFAR auction later this week. "It's important for my children to know you can work and be a parent. It's important as well that I do the work I do with AIDS so they know I care about their future.

"And with Laird coming into my life I'm having the best time of my life. I've found you can do it - and a single woman can do it all! I would encourage all single women to stand up and show it can be done."

Umm, yeah. Because you AREN'T DOING IT ALONE. You have a nanny and a cook and heaven-known-who-else working for you, darling, so you can go do all the "work you do for AIDS" in your Herve Leger dress.

Not that I begrudge you your Herve Leger dress OR your hired staff. You're a wealthy person, you get to buy what you want. I'm just saying that it's a bit of a stretch to equate yourself with all single women because you're not the typical "single mom."
