On December 1, 2009, TMZ broke the news that Sly is suing to get back the famous 1950 Mercury used in the filming of “Cobra”. Sly first reported the car as stolen in 1994 and recently came across it in an internet ad offering it for sale. When the current “owner” refused to return it, Sly went after it through legal means.
According to TMZ, “a suit filed in in L.A. County Superior Court begins with a quote from the movie — “Crime is a disease. Meet the cure.'” You gotta love that. Sly is suing for an immediate return of the car as well as three million dollars in damages since his name and image were used without the proper permission to promote the auction.

On November 29, 2009, Celebrity Baby Scoop posted some larger shots of Sly, Jennifer, the girls and a friend having ice cream. Here’s what they had to say:
Gorgeous girls! Sylvester Stallone, wife Jennifer Flavin and their three daughters – Sophia Rose, 13, Sistine Rose, 11, and Scarlet Rose, 7 – along with a friend (in pink top) were spotted out and about in Beverly Hills on Saturday (November 28). Sly treated his girls to an ice cream on a sunny California day.
The 63-year-old Rocky star also has two older sons with his first wife, Sasha Czack: Sage Moonblood, 33, and Seargeoh, 30. His younger son was diagnosed with autism at an early age.

John Beatty, who’s no stranger to long-time SZoners, created this amazing drawing of Sly from “The Expendables” on Friday while I was hanging out in his studio. John’s been my best friend since junior high and gifted me with this piece since I’ve been serving as his co-host for some of his live UStream sketch sessions.
Although I have quite a few pieces in my collection, and it’s impossible to pick a single favorite, this piece by John is going to be tough for anyone to top. Thanks again to John for going above and beyond the call.
Hey SZoners! The holidays are quickly approaching and I wanted to remind everyone that Rocky sculptures are still available through A. Thomas Schomberg studios. These statues were created by Mr. Schomberg [who created the original Rocky sculpture seen in the Rocky movies] in collaboration with Sylvester Stallone and MGM studios. Here’s my interview with Mr. Schomberg. [part two of the interview is here] for the SZ.

Remember, if you’ve purchases a statue, I’d love to post a picture of you with it on the StalloneZone! – Craig
Miguel Insignares is back with a new e-mail and art. Miguel says:

The vampire craze has taken over Hollywood. Television and movies are churning out only blood-sucking tales, so it’s up to Sly Stallone, Clint Eastwood and Arnold Schwarzenegger to set things right. See if they are up to the task by clicking here.
