Sly Presents at the My VH1 Music Awards
Sly and Scott Weiland of the Stone Temple Pilots were presenters at the first My VH1 Music Awards on November 30, 2000 in Los Angeles.
“Avenging Angelo” Update from Director Martyn Burke
From Dark Horizons: MARTYN BURKE, director of “Avenging Angelo,” is quoted…
“Just got back from Toronto where they’re setting up locations for the film which will star among others, SYLVESTER STALLONE and probably ANDY GARCIA, ANTHONY QUINN and a leading lady who they’re still in the process of casting. Right now they’re leaning toward MADELINE STOWE. It was a real departure for STALLONE – which was the reason it appealed to me. Shooting begins in late Feb and then moves to Sicily for a couple of weeks to finish in May.”
Sly Stallone & ‘N SYNC
The November 24, 2000 issue of Entertainment Weekly contains an article entitled “Rad Planet” by Dara Resnik. The article covers the opening of the new PLANET HOLLYWOOD in Times Square. In addition to the picture above, you can also see pics of Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck and others who attended the premiere!
Sly in Your Future
I wanted to give everyone a “heads-up’ on a couple of places that you’ll find Stallone in the near future.
VANITY FAIR’S HOLLYWOOD is the title of a new book that serves up a collection of photos, essays, and caricatures from the magazine’s 86 year history. Look for Sly to appear in a picture with Brigitte Nielsen in the section of celebrity couples. The book will retail for $50 from Viking Studio.
The third issue of TOTAL MOVIE goes on sale January 9th and looks to be something that all STALLONE fans will want. The issue will contain a feature called “ROCKY AT 25” which will celebrate the anniversary with the “ultimate guide to the Italian Stallion, and a look forward to the elusive “Rocky VI.”- Craig Zablo (November 18, 2000)

Sly at the American Film Institute Golf Classic
Sly took part in the Third Annual American Film Institute Golf Classic at Riviera Country Club in the Pacific Palisades on Monday, Oct. 30, 2000. The tournament attracts many celebrities and benefits AFI‘s educational and cultural programs.
“Avenging Angelo” is Next for Sly
According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter by Cathy Dunkley and Zorianna Kit, Sly Stallone has agreed to star in “Avenging Angelo” which is described as a dark comedy. Negotiations are on-going to get Martin Burke to direct.
The screenplay was written by Will Aldis and Steve Mackall, and concerns the daughter of a man recently murdered who turns out to be a mafia crime boss. The woman, who the assistance of her father’s bodyguard (Stallone) seek revenge on those that killed her father.
No other cast members or a start date have been announced.
SLY IN PEOPLE
In the October 23, 2000, issue of People the picture above (much larger in the magazine) appears in an the SCOOP section. Sly also is quoted in the article which explores violence in movies. Pictures and quotes from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan also appear. (Thanks to Andrew for the heads-up.)

SLY IN MOVIELINE
Sly makes two appearances (well sort of) in the November issue of Movieline. He first appears in the picture to the left (reprinted much larger) with Jen at the Battlefield Earth premiere.
Sly also shows up in the 96th spot on the HOLLYWOOD 100 MOST LIST (as the “most egriegiously overpaid”).
Things could be worse since he was not considered:
* Most Likely to Scare a Psychiatrist (Angelina Jolie)
* Most Consistent Sellout (Robert DeNiro)
* Most Permanently in Midlife Crisis (Billy Bob Thornton)
* Most In Need of a Hit (Kevin Costner)
* Most… well, you get the idea!
