Superfan from France

Craig / / 2008, Rocky
SZoner, M. Christopher Paquereau sent in these photos taken when Sly was in France for the promotion of “Rocky Balboa.”

Chris got an autographed photo!

And Sly even posed for a picture!

Here is Christopher’s display case full of Sly Stallone memorabilia including a title belt and Rocky statue! [Rocky collector statues are still available from A. Thomas Schomberg — the artist who created the original statue for “Rocky III” — and if you order now, you can get one at the special holiday rate!] Thanks to Chris for sharing his photos! – Craig

Rourke Credits Sly

Craig / / 2008, Celebs, Get Carter
Mickey Rourke, who is flying high now with universally great reviews for his performance in “The Wrestler,” went through a long period when he couldn’t get movie work. In an interview with BlackBook.com, Rourke credits Sly with giving him a helping hand back into the business:

“Stallone saw me in a restaurant eating one night, where I could hardly pay for my ******* spaghetti, and put me in Get Carter.”

Is "T-Bag" Expendable

Craig / / 2008, Expendables
If you’re a fan of “Prison Break” you’re going to love hearing that there’s a chance that Robert “T-Bag” Knepper will appear along side Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren in “The Expendables.” You can read here what Robert Knepper told Newsbeat.

I, for one, would love to see Knepper added to the cast. He’s a fantastic actor and would be a welcome addition. Let’s hope this happens. – Craig
