She was at 193 pounds, and the doctor said that she either went on 5 cans of diet food a day at $2.00 a can or she went on a diet. She is starting to chase the local cats and wildlife, like she is starving. She was looking at a bull terrier like meals on wheels the other day

Stone blasts Bush over 9/11 role

Director Oliver Stone has criticised President George Bush, saying he had "set the country back 10 years."

Speaking at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, Stone condemned what he saw as the politicisation of the 9/11 attacks.

He claimed the "overreaction" to the attacks had wasted resources, encouraged fanatics and made him "ashamed to be an American".

Stone's new film is about two men who survived inside the World Trade Center.

He told a press conference ahead of the film's screening in Spain: "From September 12 on, the incident was politicised and it has polarised the entire world.

Conspiracy theory

"It is a shame because it is a waste of energy to see that the entire world five years later is still convulsed in the grip of 9/11."

He added: "It's a waste of energy away from things that do matter which is poverty, death, disease, the planet itself and fixing things in our own homes rather than fighting wars with others.

"Mr Bush has set America back 10 years, maybe more."

World Trade Center has received largely favourable reviews in the US, with many being surprised at the normally controversial director's family-friendly treatment on the subject.
