Hollywood snubs Stallone
PUSSSYKATT
Hollywood has broken the heart of Sly Stallone. The once mighty box-office star
says he's getting the cold shoulder from studio execs, and that his career has
been in a tailspin since starring opposite Robert De Niro in the small-budget
Miramax film "Cop Land."
"I have not made a dime in two years," Stallone tells feminist author Susan
Faludi, who interviewed the actor for her new book, "Stiffed: The Betrayal of
the Modern Man."
"I see everyone else working and I'm not doing d---. I'm in a total limbo. I'm
a man without a country."
Stallone's complaint is that he can't escape the purgatory of action films.
"After I made 'Cop Land,' all of Hollywood turned their back," he laments
during a lunch at Spago, where none of the studio execs in the room came over
to greet him. "I'm surprised they even gave me this table," Stallone tells
Faludi. "I'm like driftwood in here."
But Stallone isn't afraid to lash out at those he holds responsible for his
demise, including Miramax chair Harvey Weinstein and super-agent Arnold
Rifkind. He calls Weinstein "the Don King of cinema," comparing him to the
controversial, electric-haired fight promoter. "Instead of making good on his
promise to cast Stallone in ensemble films, Weinstein had bought the rights to
the 'Rambo' series and seemed mainly to want to know if the actor would appear
in the fourth sequel," reports Faludi. Stallone also says he fired Rifkin: "He
sold me out."
Stallone's testosterone-fueled fans might not even recognize the one-time
grunting gorilla's deep new thoughts. "I feel like the case of the Greek
persona wearing the mask," he tells Faludi. "And he takes it down, and you
don't recognize who this person is … I don't exist. It's like people see right
through me."
He even makes fun of the he-man physique he flexes in most of his films.
"You've got it, but it comes out in this vanity thing, which borders on the
world of exotic dancing with women," he sighs. "You qualify for nothing — like
the Chippendales dancers. It's like the orchid; it's so gorgeous, but it's a
parasite. It lives off of everything but what it is."
His dream is a return to his roots — making "Rocky VI," in which the
50-year-old boxer goes back into the ring to raise money for a community
center.
Rifkind declined to comment. Weinstein was unavailable.

the 4 Seasons on Maui.. I was having a pedicure at the spa, and was talking
to the guy doing it about all the famous people who were there.. (Dustin
Hoffman, Rob Reiner, Rod Stewart, to name a few) and he was telling me about
how this is the place all the celebs like to go because it's pretty secluded
and low-key. So I ask him if there's any good stories to tell... and he
tells me that Sly is banned from the hotel, for among OTHER reasons... he
has, on numerous occasions, defecated in the bathtub!!! I can't remember
what other things he told me about him, all strange things....Isn't that
hilarious??

I can't believe that you asked that question.
Don't you know, real men do not bathe, they only shower. ;-)
But I will make a guess.
Rocky had to go so badly and the toilet was occupied so he
used the tub.
(He may have had diarrhea).
Then he was such a woos, he couldn't clean it up. heh heh

I do believe the man has a poop fetish. In the book "You'll Never Make Love in
this Town Again" it's mentioned that he had a lucite platform installed over
his bed where women would sit and poop for him. Of course looking at the book
in a flash I can't find the actual passage, but believe me, it's there!
Whenever I see Jennifer Flavin on the Home Shopping Channel, I can't help butt
wonder....

This is just too sick. Isn't he the one who likes to be spanked too?
Yo - Sly, I'll beat the shit out of you for a coupla thousand. Gimme a call.

Stallone could get pretty much any 'small' movie he wanted
made via an independant company. Especially as he doesn't
need to earn another penny as long as he lives. If Sly
walked into any independant and asked for a movie, they'd
cast him like a shot - his marquee value in Europe alone
would put a small movie in profit before a frame had been
shot.
