THE LORDS OF FLATBUSH AND AN OLD FEUD

Here’s an oldie but goodie worth revisiting for a number of reasons. The Lords of Flatbush is a movie from the 70’s about a group of greasers from the 50’s. It starred Sylvester Stallone, Henry Winkler, and Perry King- all unknown at the time. Perry King had the lead because he got the girl played by Susan Blakely. Perry’s role was originally played by Richard Gere (who we would LOVE to have seen as a greaser) but Sly didn’t get along with Gere (called him egotistical) and eventually he told the director ”It’s him or me” and the director replaced Gere with Perry King. The feud still smolders- Sly and Richard Gere still don’t get along. Henry Winkler was SO memorable in this film that he went on to become the “ultimate greaser” on Happy Days.

Daughters Jennifer Flavin Stallone Sylvester Stallone

STALLONE AND HIS THREE LUCKY DAUGHTERS

Seems like the Stallone family has done nothing but visit the beach and lounge on yachts since the pandemic slowed things down. And they’re not complaining. Sly’s pretty daughters hit the genetic lottery – against all odds, all three girls take after their model mother Jennifer Flavin Stallone, rather than dad. To their credit, Sophia, 24, and Sistine, 22, both studied at USC and Scarlet, 18, just graduated from high school. All three girls model, but Sophia wants to become a fashion entrepreneur like her mother. She and Sistine are already Instagram influencers with over a million followers each, so they’re off to a good start.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IS NO LONGER A VIOLENT ACTION HERO

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s patriotic video reminded us that he has always been a sensible and moderate Republican. (Yes, they DO exist!) He’s come a long way since the 80’s when he and his rival Sylvester Stallone were the top two Action Kings of Hollywood. Sly was extremely competitive with Arnold and he bulked up his muscles (with various “supplements”) SO much to match Arnold’s physique, that he nearly had a heart attack. In fact, Sly even paid a UK writer to author an unflattering biography of Arnold specifically to out Arnold’s father as a Nazi. He was disappointed that it didn’t wreck Arnold’s career – or his future as Governor. Eventually the two guys buried the hatchet and now they tease each other about their onetime rivalry. They’ve even acted in a few movies together.

Samaritan Superhero Sylvester Stallone

SYLVESTER STALLONE WANTS TO BE A SUPERHERO TOO!

Sylvester Stallone plans to give Tom Cruise a run for his money as far as action movies go. Tom has been cashing in for years with one action movie after another – and he loves bragging about doing his own stunts. Sly may be in his 70’s, but he’s not ready to retire. He’s back to filming Samaritan (closed down by Covid) and even Sly is amazed by the extravagant sets and special effects. It’s the story of a young boy who realizes that a famous superhero, who disappeared after a disastrous event 20 years ago, may still be around, and he starts to investigate. We’re guessing Sly is the missing- in- action superhero, but he’s no Tom Cruise – he’ll be grateful to have stunt guys help out…

Fedora Rocky Balboa Shopping Sylvester Stallone

YOU CAN LOOK LIKE ROCKY BALBOA

Perhaps inspired by Justin Bieber’s fashion success, Sly Stallone has opened his own online store to sell replicas of what his most famous characters wore and assorted film memorabilia. Most fascinating is his distinctive Rocky Balboa fedora, which sells for the nominal price of $150. (Doesn’t Justin Theroux wear a hat like this?) Shoppers can also get Rocky black Slydes for $45, or a Rambo military duffle bag for only $100…

Jennifer Flavin Quarantine Sylvester Stallone Weight

SYLVESTER STALLONE: QUARANTINE ROCKY PACKED ON THE POUNDS

Looks like Sylvester Stallone has added more than a few pounds to his once chiseled abs during quarantine (unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger who is furiously biking every day.) And that cigar indicates that he’s not overly worried about his health in general. In contrast, his model wife Jennifer Flavin is looking slimmer than ever! Sly and Jennifer spent the day on the beach in Malibu – here they are seen watching their oldest daughter Sistine, 22, frolic in the water. Come to think of it – Sly is SURROUNDED by model-thin women (his wife and three cute daughters) – you’d think they would be a good influence…

Art For Sale Painting Sylvester Stallone

YOU CAN OWN A PAINTING BY SYLVESTER STALLONE

Sylvester Stallone launched a big promotion on Instagram to sell his art for father’s Day. He’s been painting and selling his autographed artwork for decades. Back in the early 90’s he invited us to visit him at his art studio. It was a warehousey-looking place with big canvases all around the room and buckets of paint on the floor. This was at the height of his popularity, and he was thrilled that so many people wanted to buy his paintings. It looked to us like he rather haphazardly slapped paint all over the canvases and he couldn’t believe that people paid “thousands of dollars” for them. (We couldn’t believe it either!) He’s still producing art – now it ranges from $50 for prints to $165,000 for a huge painting. Wonder if these would sell without his autograph…

Arnold Schwarzenegger Hair! Sylvester Stallone

STALLONE’S CHALLENGE TO SCHWARZENEGGER: DITCH THE HAIR DYE!

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been rivals since day one – they both started out around the same time and (In fact, I introduced them as we were leaving a screening back in the 70’s) Stallone started working out in the gym like a madman for his Rocky movies and he was always competitive with Arnold, who was very sure of himself. After years of boxoffice rivalry they became friends and they enjoy teasing each other. Both guys have dyed their hair for years, and recently Sly observed that he looks pretty good with grey hair and he’s going natural. He’s flaunting photos on Instagram – will Arnold take the hint and give up the dye also?

Daughter Janice Dickinson scandal Sylvester Stallone Tabloids

JANICE DICKINSON’S DAUGHTER WAS BORN INTO A TABLOID SCANDAL

It’s Janice Dickinson and her long-suffering daughter Savannah. Certainly it wasn’t easy growing up with wild and crazy model Janice. Savannah’s birth in 1994 was a juicy tabloid story. Janice happened to be dating Sylvester Stallone when she became pregnant and convinced him the baby was HIS. Ever the gentleman, he immediately set her up in a fancy apartment and paid all her medical bills. The baby was born Savannah Rodin Stallone. After the tabloids started writing that the baby was not HIS, Stallone got a DNA test and found out they were RIGHT! Yes, Janice had been cheating with someone else! Stallone was hugely embarrassed and Savannah lost her famous last name. She’s now working as an actress and occasional crew member under the name Savannah Rodin.

47 Meters Down: Uncaged Corrine Foxx Daughter Jamie Foxx Sistine Stallone Sylvester Stallone

WHAT DO JAMIE FOXX AND SYLVESTER STALLONE HAVE IN COMMON?

Sylvester Stallone and Jamie Foxx both have beautiful daughters (Sistine Stallone and Corinne Foxx) who are costarring and making their film debuts in 47 Meters Down:Uncaged. The daughters have something in common too: they were both Miss Golden Globe in past award ceremonies. The original 47 Meters Down two years ago, was a surprise hit among teen scream fans, and this version features four teens diving in a ruined underwater city where horrible things happen. So both girls are obviously good swimmers also.

Above, Sistine Stallone and Corinne Foxx are promoting the film in NYC.
