Sly and Danny Have Jokes
On January 29, 2009, Fox News posted a piece titled, “Sly Stallone buys Restaurant to Keep Wife From Cooking.” It ran with the photo above and the news that Planet Hollywood had purchased Buca di Beppo. Sly was quoted a couple of times, saying:
“If someone said you have to eat one kind of food for the rest of your life, Irish, English, German or Italian, it’s Italian,” Stallone told Fox News of Buca di Beppo’s fare.
“And the beauty of this is, my wife doesn’t have to cook for a long, long time,” Stallone joked. “Thank God.”

“Mickey, if anybody deserves an Oscar, it’s you. No question about it. You lived it. You earned it. You deserve it. You’re an incredibly talented man. It’s about time everyone says, ‘You know what. Give it to the winner.'”
