The #1 Sylvester Stallone Fan Site in the World!
The April 17, 2001 issue of England’s Hello! magazine contains a picture of SLY and JENNIFER at the annual Family Celebration charity event in Los Angeles. Also at the event was CALISRA FLOCKHART, BRITANY SPEARS with boyfriend JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE and former president BILL CLINTON who played sax with legendary blues guitarist BB KING.
Thanks to Jazz! – Craig Zablo
SLY STALLONE was joined by his wife, JENNIFER FLAVEN and “Driven” co-stars TIL SCHWEIGER, CHRISTIAN de la FUENTE, ESTELLA WARREN, KIP PARDUE, and director RENNY HARLIN for the premiere at the Mann’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, on Monday, April 16, 2001.
The April 20, 2001 issue of Entertainment Weekly gives the Rocky Giftset the lead review in the New To DVD section. Marc Bernardin gives the set an overall “B” rating. SZoners will be glad to hear that Mr. Bernardin says of all of the extras that come in the set, “the most interesting bit is a 28-minute interview with Stallone, who gives something of a Rocky oral history from genesis to release. By turns touching, insightful, and self-indulgent, it’s a fascinating look at a star glancing back through time at the role that, for better or worse, defined him.”(As an interesting aside – on the page following the review is a one page interview with Carl “Apollo Credd” Weathers!)

Sly appears in the current issue of PREMIERE in an article titled Shmoozer Take All. Producer Elie Samaha is being sued by his German backers for inflating budgets on movies he made with buddies like John Travolta, Stallone, and Snipes. Hey, what’s a few million among friends ? ”
Below the pic reads… BATTLEFIELD WORTH : Samaha with his pal Stallone and former Miss Germany Verona Feldbusch, at the “Battlefield Earth” premiere . – Peace, JAZZMAN
Thanks Jazz for the piece! – Craig Zablo (April 15, 2001)

1. Dale Earnhardt was the “best in his field” and he hopes that Driven pays tribute to race car drivers.
2. That when you drive the cars “you’re lying down feet first.”
3. That once in “you are literally locked into these machines so there’s a sense of being nailed in a box with no exit except with the help of others.”
4. If the worst happens and “…you get into a crash its quite difficult to release yourself.”
5. Being in the car is “…very confining and claustrophobic.”
6. Finally about co-star Estella Warren, Sly said, “Estella is going to have a charmed life.”
