Gated Community, Nannies' Shortcuts in Turmoil as A-Listers Go to War

Five Clips Exempting Sly Stallone From His Forthcoming Lifetime Achievement Award
The news that a respected Swiss film festival in plans to honor Sylvester Stallone with a lifetime achievement award was the cause of some distress this week at Defamer HQ. We weren't necessarily alone, but we weren't that black-and-white with it, either; surely he's a singular figure of Hollywood's last 50 years, but even sizable accomplishments like Rocky, First Blood, CopLand and the outstandingly violent fever dream that was Rambo 4 don't cast shadows long enough to block the sprawling, weedy malevolence of most of his work. His films have grossed a total of $1.7 billion, but how hastily should anyone jump to reward their artistic intentions and merits? More »

Bollywood Epic To Employ Ancient Action-Hero Gods Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Following last week's surprise announcement that India's Reliance ADA Group would sink a half-billion into DreamWorks, the lines dividing Hollywood and Bollywood continue to blur: Today comes news that national action-hero treasures Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have carved some time out of their busy franchise-rebooting / incomprehensible-speechifying schedules to sign on for the most epic Bollywood production of all time.

As a director, Rambo auteur Sylvester Stallone is as ruthless as he is brilliant; dare to defy him, and you can be sure that when you show up to work the next day, you'll suddenly be listed on the call sheet as "Unknown Hostage Devoured By Man-Eating Pigs #3" or "Mercenary Landmine Victim": "One extra whose role as a mercenary consisted of a silent march through the jungle convinced the sound department to outfit him with a mic. 'He delivered this rambling monologue about his life back in Colorado, when he had no lines at all' says Logan. When Sly saw the rushes, he was furious. 'Boom! That guy got blown up instead.'"

After 'Rambo' Banning In Myanmar, Stallone Offers To Take On Military Government In Person
Sylvester Stallone's Rambo, the writer/director's powerful documentary on a mysterious, monosyllabic American boatman's struggle to unseat the bloodthirsty military regime subjugating Myanmar, has struck such a chord within the country that its ruling junta is trying to stop the cinematic call-to-action from reaching Yangon's black-market DVD stalls, where it could incite widespread rebellion by those inspired by Stallone's rousing catchphrases: More »

Nauseated Critics Reveal That 'Rambo' Is Every Bit As Stomach-Churningly Violent As We've Dared To Dream

Janice Dickinson's Bulging '90s Physique Has Nothing To Do With Me, Insists Sylvester Stallone
Many of our readers are probably too young to remember this, but there was a time, at the turn of '90s, when rapidly calcifying action star Sylvester Stallone and trap-jawed she-ninja Janice Dickinson were very much in love. It all ended badly, with a Versace catwalkside showdown after Sly learned the paternity of their supposed love child belonged to another man, leaving a shattered Dickinson sobbing into an oversized shoulder pad as she realized he was never coming back. Earlier this month, the modeling agency owner joined Fox News's Red Eye, where she said, "He juiced me. I'd wake up and my arm was as big as Popeye - steroids, testosterone, all that stuff that people say [mimicking Stallone], 'Hey, it's not that good 'cause you get really big, you know what I mean?" Stallone addressed the allegations on Howard Stern's show yesterday: More »

As Stallone fans Down Under cope with the shattering suspicion that their 61-year-old underdog screen hero may have achieved his gladiatorial frame through the use of banned substances, the actor himself has been cooperating with the Australian authorities: More »

Sylvester Stallone Has Hated Robert Evans Since The Whole 'Duffle Bag Full Of X-Rated Polaroids' Incident

But theirs is a long simmering rivalry, which, according to Page Six, began when the notorious ladies' man shared his impressive archive of Polaroid-captured conquests with the actor:

The Illustrated 'Rocky Balboa'
An unfortunate side effect of our steeling what's left of our blackened hearts to resist loudly obsolescent actor Sylvester Stallone's impassioned pleas to buy a ticket to Rocky Balboa and help him rage against an ageist Hollywood that callously casts aside the used up, bloated husks of its former action stars is our forgetting that the man is not a mere reader of other people's scripted lines, but a multitalented individual who expresses himself through both his own words and stirring images. Radar has obtained script pages of an early draft of the Balboa script featuring painstaking illustrations of the movie's action rendered by Stallone himself, which offer hope that even when the industry will no longer let him contribute in front of the camera, a prosperous second act as a storyboard artist surely awaits him.

Stallone Tries To Guilt Public Into Seeing New 'Rocky' Movie
MGM and Revolution Studios have devised an inspired strategy for marketing Rocky Balboa, the sixth, not exactly long-awaited installment in the saga of cinema's most celebrated, cauliflower-eared pugilist: dispatching Sylvester Stallone to influential media outlets equipped with quotes depressing enough to both distract potential audience members from the ridiculousness of a premise involving a sexagenarian boxer making a comeback based on an X-box fighting simulation and to recast his participation as a valiant struggle against an industry that forces early retirement upon its aging stars. A melancholy Stallone tells the NY Times, in hopes of inspiring some guilt-induced ticket purchases: More »
