SZ Exclusive: Stallone Behind the Scenes Pics

SZoner, “Joe Tanto Hummer” sent in a bunch of pictures that he had taken, over the years, of his visits to Stallone movie premieres, Planet Hollywood openings, and the like. Unfortunately most of the pictures were taken without a flash at night or had glare or something that prevented them from being used. We did want to share these EXCLUSIVE pics from Joe.

This is a cool candid that Tanto picked up of Sly and one of his paintings.

Here’s a shot of Sly and Jen at a 1995 Planet Hollywood opening.

Tanto wanted to be sure that we all got to see this building-sized poster for Tango and Cash!

Thanks to Joe for sharing! – Craig Zablo [September 28, 2002]

Scarlet Rose!

Sylvester Stallone fan, Kenneth, sent us the picture [to the left] of Sylvester, JenniferSophiaSistine, and baby Scarlet.

Kenneth said that the picture first appeared on Jennifer’s site. [And if you are a fan of Jennifer, you should also check out the very cool, Jennifer Flavin Gallery. Be sure to tell Justin that we sent you!]

Congrats to the Stallone family. We wish you all continued health and success!

Thanks again to Kenneth!

Two Star Tidbits


The May 28, 2002 issue of Star contains two Slyitems:

1. The pic to the left appears in a piece called “Stars Go Psychedelic… and it’s all for a good cause” which covers the Race to Erase Mutiple Sclerosis Benefit.

2. Janet Charlton‘s Star People column contains the following:

Makin’ Ends Meat

Sylvester Stallone hasn’t been making a lot of movies lately, but he’s found an easy way to make a fast buck. The Rocky star, who once appeared in a soft-porn flick called The Italian Stallion, just pocketed a cool $1.5 million for a day’s work. What could be worth such a handsome sum? Ham actor Sly is shilling for Italian meat manufacturer Citterio.

Three Sly Tidbits

On March 26th Sly attended the sixth annual “An Unforgettable Evening” benefit for breast cancer in Beverly Hills, California. Elton John was the guest of honor. John Mellencamp provided the night’s musical entertainment, while comedian Dennis Miller hosted.

 

Also in attendance were Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks, Kate Capshaw, Steven Spielberg, Natalie Cole, and Fran Drescher, among others.

 

The April 1, 2002 (no fooling) issue of US Weekly contains two Sly tidbits:

 

In the “Loose Talk” section Sly is quoted as saying: “Anyone who says they’re not disappointed is putting you on.” in reference to losing at the Oscars.

In a sidebar section about famous breakups the following appears:

 

Jennifer Flavin The Dump: In May 1994, after five years of dating, Sylvester Stallone dropped Revlon model Flavin with a six-page letter delivered via Federal Express. Today: The couple reunited in the summer of 1995 and married two years later. They have two young daughters, and Flavin is pregnant again.
