Sly and Pam Behan

That’s Sly and Pam Behan.

Behan is a former nanny for Bruce Jenner and the Kardashians. She has a new book out, Malibu Nanny. In it, Behan writes about her encounters with celebrities and life with the Jenner/Kardashian clan. Behan is profiled in Ex-Nanny to the Kardashian’s Reveals… at the Daily News.

Here’s what she says about Sly…

  • “I watched him arrive from behind a curtain,” Behan said. “He was sporting a Hawaiian shirt and some very tight jeans. With his bronzed skin, aviator sunglasses and matchstick in his mouth he looked cool, wealthy and powerful.”
  • Soon, Stallone got word Behan was interested in him. He called and asked her out on a date. Behan was floored — and expressed her trepidation about going out with the muscular movie star.
  • “The truth is I’m scared,” Behan admitted to Stallone. “I don’t think I will live up to your expectations. You have dated so many beautiful women!”
  • The smooth Stallone told her to relax.
  • “Sly said, ‘Pam, you are being silly. You are beautiful inside and out. You are down to earth and real. And I like that about you,” Behan recalled.
  • Later, while on a date at Stallone’s Malibu house, he made his move.
  • “He took a step toward me and kissed me gently,” she said.
  • “I wanted it to last forever. (But) I couldn’t fully enjoy it because I was so overwhelmed that I was actually kissing Sly Stallone. What young girl from the Midwest isn’t in love with a celebrity? My locker was covered with his posters!”

Rare Leroy Neiman Painting Question

2013 Celebs Rocky

Hey SZoners, earlier this week I received an e-mail from long-time SZoner, Rob Hoskins…

Hi Craig,
Recognize this guy? This is a close-up of a much cooler painting by the late Leroy Neiman. The only time I EVER saw the painting was in Stallone’s personal gallery on an old Barbara Walters interview from the 80′s. I got this by transferring my old videotape to dvd, and then doing a screenshot (along with some Photoshop upgrading). I wonder if you have any shots of the whole version? I’ve included a really BAD version of the whole painting. Can’t seem to get any clearer screenshot of the whole thing. Thought this was worth a look. Peace Bro.
+++++
Like Rob, I had seen the painting in the Barbara Walters interview, but never anywhere else that I can remember.  So, I thought I would open the question up to everyone.
Have you?  If so, where?  Inquiring minds want to know! – Craig

Sly Tweets: New Director for Expendables 3

Last night Sly sent out a series of tweets (seen above) that puts to rest the speculation on Mel Gibson (or John Woo) as the director of Expendables 3.

According to Sly, he found an EXCITING director… a young lion who Sly believes can help make Expendables 3 top Rambo as a pure action film.

Awesome.  Can’t wait to hear who it is.

Sly Almost Teamed with Bob Dylan & Giorgio Moroder

According to Nicole James in her April 18, 2013, piece at Fuse, There Was Almost a Bob Dylan/Sylvester Stallone Collabo.

According to Giorgio Moroder when asked if there was anyone he ever wished he had worked with, gave the following answer:

  • I do remember that Sylvester Stallone, when he was making the third Rambo film, absolutely wanted a song with Bob Dylan… So I scored the song and Sylvester liked it. I presented it to Bob, and he was listening to it. I think he heard it seven or eight times, but he eventually said no. I don’t know why — maybe it wasn’t the right movie or song… We never used it for anything else. It was done specifically for that scene and movie. He’s one of those artists that you think, well… if he doesn’t like it, it’s probably a bad song anyway.
