The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
SZoner, Renato Mundt from Sao Paulo City, sent in the scan above of his take on Rocky vs Drago. I thought it was perfectly timed since both Rocky and Drago were just named two of The 20 Most Memorable Sports Movie Characters.
The Huffington Post published a piece called Ken Starr’s Celebrity Clients from Uma to Sly in photos. You can see it here.
Great news! The Expendables website is now live!
The photo above of Sly appears in a May 27, 2010 article at FinancialPost.com in a story about Ken Starr, a financial adviser who had many celebrity clients. According to the article Starr was arrested and accused of fraud, money laundering and lying to a federal officer as part of a $30-million fraud. This won’t be the first time Starr is in court.
Sylvester Stallone sued Kenneth Starr in 2002, claiming Mr. Starr’s financial advice caused him to lose US $10-million on the stock of Planet Hollywood International Inc., a theme-restaurant chain.

The photo above is of Sly and boxing promoter, Roy Englebrecht and was posted at FightNews.com on May 24, 2010.

Nic Giacondino is an artist with a unique style that I really like. So when Nic offered up ten dollar bust commissions, I had to get on board. Posted above is Nic’s take on Sly as Jack Carter. How cool is that? Very cool, I say. So why not take a few minutes and check out more of Nic’s artwork and keep an eye out for his new comic, The Sisters Grimm?
SZoner, SteveReeves posted a link on the StalloneZone message boards to a speed painting created by Jorge Lopez-Lorenzana. That’s a section of the painting above. You can see the whole thing being created by clicking here.
