INTELLIGENT CELEBRITIES

She may be credited as one of Hollywood's brainiest beauties - but SHARON STONE is not a member of high IQ society MENSA. The BASIC INSTINCT (1992, 2006) star was widely reported to be a member of the organisation after impressing pals and co-stars with her intellect. But Mensa have angrily slammed reports that the blonde actress is a member and are demanding she takes a test to prove how smart she really is.

JIM BLAKMORE, a spokesman for the society says: "Ms. Stone is not now and never has been a member. Some in the media have reported that she is smart enough to be, but repeated efforts on our part to have the offending information removed or to get Sharon Stone to submit prior evidence or take the test have been unsuccessful.

About MENSA ...

Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr. Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ. The original aims were, as they are today, to create a society that is non-political and free from all racial or religious distinctions. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top 2% of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities. Today there are some 100,000 Mensans in 100 countries throughout the world. There are active Mensa organizations in over 40 countries on every continent except Antarctica.

The following famous people also have a high IQ:
Sir Jimmy Savile; journalist Garry Bushell; sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov; actress Geena Davis; MP Vincent Cable; footballers Andy Harris and Joey Beauchamp; TV presenters Carol Vordeman and Jamie Theakston; biologist Dr Jack Cohen; boxer Nicky Piper and swimmer Adrian Moorhouse.
