Frank Stallone: Far from Over
It’s been a great comeback for Stallone. You’re probably thinking Sly in The Expendables, right? Well, yeah. But FranK Stallone has enjoyed a resurgence of his own! Seems a couple of dj’s in Australia started playing Frank’s 80’s hit “Far From Over” and things took off from there.
A concert in Australia sold out in four minutes, he was flown over first class and found fans all over the outback wanting to see him. Here’s Frank in an entertaining interview on Australia’s The Circle. Gotta love it!

PS: My birthday is in October, so you should start saving now, if you’re thinking about getting me one. ; )
TMZ’s Stallone Exclusive
On August 31st, TMZ posted a Stallone exclusive. Seems that Sly was stopped by a traffic officer and the above photo was taken. TMZ’s exclusive is that Sly allegedly ran a stop sign, disagreed with the officer and may or may not have been given a citation. Now THAT is an exclusive. – Craig
Sly’s Tweets Are News
Last week I posted that Sly was now on Twitter. It didn’t take long before his tweet about wanting Bruce Willis back for The Expendables II made news. Having Bruce back is a great idea. Let’s just hope Sly meant super villain as real mean bad guy with NO super powers. ; )
Expendables UK Press Conference Coverage
On August 16, 2010, The Den of Geek posted coverage of The Expendables UK press conference. Here’ s a taste from Sly:
“Well, I have made a lot of career mistakes, a lot and I have made a lot of personal ones too! But the idea is, I never started out to be an action actor. I was an ensemble actor. Rocky was ensemble, F.I.S.T. was ensemble and Paradise Alley was ensemble. Then along came First Blood and it was the start of something unusual.”
“I think everyone in this room, everyone on the planet, has a regret. That in one moment they made the wrong decision, and sometimes you can just never get your life back on course. And that theme from Rocky Balboa, to Rambo, it just haunts me. Maybe I’m just mono-minded, or limited, but it’s just inextinguishable.”

Sly Mini-Interview
Charipar’s Sly from Spy Kids 3D
I wasn’t expecting to see Andrew Charipar at this year’s Heroes Con. In fact, he almost didn’t make it due to car problems. Thankfully, he did and worked up a couple of new Stallone sketches for me. This is, Sly as one of the many characters he played in Spy Kids 3D. More of Andrew’s art can be seen at his blog and DA site.
Sly on Twitter!
Hard to believe, but it’s true. Sly Stallone is now on Twitter! You can follow him by going here. Oh, and while you’re there, take a gander at the site listed as Sly’s web spot. That’s right, StalloneZone. Well done, SZoners and thanks to Sly! – Craig
