Sideshow: The twists and turns on road to splitsville

Many are the reasons to break up with someone. Your squeeze won't do the dishes. Or is bad with money. Or votes for the wrong people. Or sleeps with the wrong people. Or etcetera.

But how about this one?:

"I'm breaking up with you because my ex-hubby says I'm a bad parent because I want our son to get Botox treatments for his stinky feet."

"Oh, that old chestnut," you say. "Hear it all the time."

Well, it's a new one on us. We don't even understand it. Yet this is the reason, if the Web site Mail Online is to be believed, that Sharon Stone, 50 if she's a day, is splitting with 24-year-old babykins Chase Dreyfous.

Stay with us now because we might fall down and get hurt. In September, Stone's ex-husband, Phil Bronstein, won sole custody of their adopted son, Roan, 8. The case, of course, is leaking like the Tivoli Fountain, and among the leaks is a dispute over how to treat Roan's pedal aroma. Stone wanted Botox injections. Bronstein thought that was wack. The court ruled with Bronstein, saying socks and foot deodorant would do.

Botox, by the way, has indeed been used to paralyze sweat glands in the feet of folks with trotter-reek.

The whole thing stinks, especially for Dreyfous. Stone is said to be so bummed by her loss in court that she has cooled to him.

Quantum of Solace

, the second James Bond film to star

Daniel Craig

as 007, debuted as the movie box-office champion for the weekend of Nov. 14-16 and smashed previous U.S. opening-weekend records for Bond flicks, according to studio estimates.

Quantum hoovered in $70.4 mils, smacking the first Craig/Bond vehicle, 2006's Casino Royale (of which it's a sequel of sorts) by more than $30 mils. It also buried the previous Bond champeen, 2002's Die Another Day, made back when Pierce Brosnan could still be a Bond. It killed Die even when adjusted for way-inflated ticket prices.

Weekend runners-up were Madagascar Escape 2 Africa ($36.1 mils ) and Role Models ($11.7 mils).

There have been 24 Bond films, starring everyone from Sean Connery to David Niven. Craig now has shaken and stirred them all.
