SHARON Stone plays for keeps. Harry Winston Inc. once had to sue her to get back some diamond jewelry. Now comes word that she has a rule on photo shoots: "I wear it; I keep it." Photographer Todd Eberle was at the Free Arts NYC benefit at the Phillips de Pury auction house when he bumped into Webster Hall's Baird Jones. Eberle told the story of how he shot Sharon Stone for Allure magazine a few years ago. "She actually showed up six hours late. One of the items was a $25,000 couture Galliano kimono. Sharon Stone walked in with an entourage of at least eight women; it was bewildering. At first, she was very polite and professional. We messed up the bed, and she was going to pose there. Sharon said quite loudly, so everyone in the room could hear it, 'I wear it. I keep it.' But on magazine shoots, the editor always takes the clothes back. So I shot her in this plain leather miniskirt she was already wearing, and she just looked ridiculous, and they published that." Stone's spokeswoman didn't recall the photo shoot, but said Eberle's recollections seemed implausible.
