Sylvester Stallone is shopping in Beverly Hills, trying on expensive watches. Sly has always sought the fountain of youth – he has tried many youth enhancing medical treatments, fads, and supplements and he looks good. Maybe he doesn’t realize that wearing a watch is ageing him. Young people don’t wear watches anymore – they check their cell phones. Eventually wristwatches will become a historical novelty.

Sylvester Stallone received a Filmaker Award at The Venice Film Festival and his appearance got the British tabloids buzzing. He was described as wearing “orangey” makeup and it was pointed out that Sly could arch his eyebrows without creating any creases in his forehead. We compared this smooth look with an early photo – and sure enough- he had more lines on his face thirty years ago. Sly treated the Venice audience to a sneak peek of some scenes from his latest effort “The Expendables.” (We wonder if the movie had botox in the budget.) Regardless, for 63, Sly deserves credit for looking better than most.

What does Sylvester Stallone do when he gets BORED on a sleepy summer day? He puts on an NYPD cap and cruises around Beverly Hills in his big black hot rod. Surprised faces and shouted greetings come from all sides. Sly creates his own amusement.

Sylvester Stallone is just finishing up his movie “The Expendables” which he wrote, directs, and stars in. (Consequently, you can expect many shots of his ripped torso.) Above, Mickey Rourke is tattooing Sly in a still from the movie. As we told you, the story is about a secret plot by several nations to overthrow a dangerous South American dictator. The best mercenaries from around the world are hired to do the deed and they are played by tough guys Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, and Jet Li, among others. Bruce Willis is also in the film and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is supposedly making a surprise appearance. It’s an 80’s style action extravaganza!

We’ve been watching Janet Jackson’s weight fluctuations through the years and it’s clear that she lets herself go between concert tours and eats everything in sight, and then she slams on the brakes and starves herself to get in shape again. No matter HOW MANY pounds she packs on, they seem to fall off and her abs are right back in line. Well, We’ve learned her secret: Human Growth Hormones. The same controversial supplement that Sylvester Stallone takes. HGH injections are said to slow aging, decrease fat, and boost stamina. Users are advised to take periodic breaks from the drug but they feel so good it’s hard to stop. The main drawback, besides the high price, is that the long term effects of HGH are not known.

Sylvester Stallone is all pumped up and ready to start filming “The Expendables” which he wrote, will star in, and direct. It’s about an international team of mercenaries whose secret mission is to assassinate an evil South American dictator. And what a cast: besides Stallone, there’s Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Eric Roberts, and possibly Arnold Schwarzenegger and 50 Cent. It sounds like those “Dirty Dozen”/”Magnificent Seven” movies from the 60’s.

A photographer who took this picture of Sylvester Stallone walking in Beverly Hills labeled it “Sylvester Stallone and Frank Stallone” and added that he was amazed that Sly looked so much more youthful than his brother who is four years younger. “It must be the grey hair” the photographer surmised. Actually, we think this is Sly’s FATHER Frank Stallone Sr. – not his brother is Frank Stallone Jr . Frank Jr is said to be getting his own reality show.
