Sly & Paula Abdul
On April 29, 2010, The Las Vegas Sun posted a nice article by Robin Leach about Sly and Paula Abdul in attendance at the celebration of Planet Hollywood into the Harrah’s “family”. There are several nice photos of Sly with Paula and others. Here are a couple of quotes from the piece:
… Sly said he’s thrilled with the results. “I’m doing the editing right now, and it’s going great. Everybody who sees just clips of it say it’s going to be the biggest action film of all time. Our bodies took a brutal beating. It was bloody, hand-to-hand combat, and you can see that onscreen…
…You couldn’t have dreamed up a better cast of action heroes, and I’m genuinely happy how we got them all to take part and even risk their lives and bodies for this project. There was incredible chemistry on the set between all of us, which was fantastic because it was a tough grind shooting all that action week after week for three solid months.”

Charisma Carpenter: Sly & The Expendables
Charisma Carpenter was interviewed by Jarett Weiselman for The New York Post on April 20, 2010. Part of the interview focused on her work in The Expendables. Here’s a bit of what Ms. Carpenter had to say about Sly and The Expendables:
It’s a really fast-paced action movie and I think America is just going to love it. Sly’s kind of a genius. I know that he’s done a lot of work – but this is nothing like that. This isn’t Rambo, it isn’t Rocky. I seriously have so much respect for how many hats he was wearing. He wasn’t just acting and directing, but he was physically throwing himself into it. Every night after filming he’d go to the emergency room to basically have a cut on his hand sewn up, or his ankle broken or strained – he just goes and goes and goes. He really is kind of like Rambo!

Stallone & Rourke in a Comedy?
On April 2, 2010, The Sun posted a piece titled Sly Takes Mickey for the Comeback. According to the article, Sly and Mickey Rourke are planning to team up for a comedy. An unnamed source says it’s…
“…about two old washed-up action heroes and how they handle retirement… Clearly there’s an in-joke there and Mickey is very interested in working with Sly again…”
I’m going to file this under, I’ll believe it when I see it. You can read the whole article by going here.
Sly, Piers Morgan & Simon Cowell
Piers Morgan, in a column for dailymail.co.uk, talks about when he and Simon Cowell were having dinner in LA and bumped in to Sly:
Enjoyed another fun night at Soho House – now officially THE coolest place to be in LA – where I bumped into Sylvester Stallone and Simon Cowell.
The former was wearing very large sunglasses.
‘Sly, great to see you,’ I said. ‘Isn’t it a bit dark for those?’
‘Yes, absolutely, but I’ve got a sty on my eye.’
He slowly pulled down the shades to reveal a whopping great big, inflamed bump.
‘In fact, I’m thinking of changing my name to Sty Stallone.’
‘Fancy doing my chat show?’ I asked.
‘Of course,’ he replied. ‘You’re the best.’
Cowell nearly choked on his beer.
‘No, he’s not.’
‘He is.’
‘He’s not. He’s the worst.’
‘He is?’ Sly turned back to me.
‘Sorry, I made a terrible mistake. Apparently you’re the worst.’
Cowell giggled loudly. Little things really do please little minds.
