TWO STALLONE ITEMS FROM STAR

The August 1st issue of STAR contains the picture of SLY (reprinted here) as well as an article about an alleged incident involving SLY. A woman claims that she was staying at the same hotel as SLY and that during the stay a fire alarm in the hotel sounded. The woman claims that as she was struggling to get her children down the stairs, SLY came down the stairs and went past her and the children without offering to assist her. A representative of SLY denies the story and is quoted as saying: "Of course he (SLY) would have helped a woman in danger."

The August 8th issue of STAR contains the following item in the STARpeople section: SYLVESTER STALLONE, 54, and BURT REYNOLDS, 64, are in Toronto filming Champs, a film about aging race-car drivers who go back into the business. The were shooting at the racetrack and throngs of eager women showed up to watch the proceedings. When a reporter remarked to SLY that it was obvious that he's still popular with the ladies, SLY gallantly remarked, "This time around they're knocking me over to get to Reynolds! In this business, you expect popularity to give way to younger guys - but not to OLDER guys!" Funny thing is, a few minutes later, PAUL NEWMAN, 75, arrived at the track and the female fans pushed EVERYONE aside to get to him!
