Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit (L) jokes with U.S. actor Sylvester Stallone during a reception at the town hall in this February 3, 2004 file photo. Some on the left think Wowereit might be the best hope to give the SPD a lift in the way Barack Obama’s historic candidacy has helped boost the U.S. Democrats. Wowereit is the most popular elected leader in the SPD and the party’s most charismatic national figure.

Rocky vs The World

Jorge writes:I wanted to share a link on an interesting article maybe you can post on your next batch of news or whatever. The article is about a sequel to the Rocky game that came out about two years ago. Here’s the article and the link.
Rocky Vs. The World
Internal development sources from Europe have given IGN the details on the sequel to the sleeper hit Rocky. It’s tentatively called Rocky Vs. The World, it’s online for both PS2 and Xbox (sorry, no GameCube version), and the engine is nearly identical to the first game. The new online title features more characters, stages, and upgraded visuals. Look for this to appear on PS2 and Xbox by the end of the year.
Thanks Jorge! - Craig Zablo

R. Kelly May Score New ‘Rocky’ Stage Musical
Robert Simonson of Playbill On-Line writes that the producers of a stage version of the Sylvester Stallone film “Rocky” are in talks with singer/songwriter R. Kelly about writing the score for the show. Variety also reported the news about Kelly.
Thomas Meehan, the three-time Tony-winning for Annie, The Producers and Hairspray, is already on board to write the book. The spokesman added that Kelly was in talks to join the creative team.
R. Kelly (whose real name is Robert Kelly) has written songs for Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Luther Vandross and others. His 1996 single “I Believe I Can Fly,” won three Grammy Awards.
Rocky spawned four sequels and would probably work well on stage. Two songs from the “Rocky” films-“Gonna Fly Now,” an instumental by Bill Conti, and “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor - became No. 1 hits.
