Sly was correct with his prediction that Joe Calzaghe would beat Roy Jones Jr.
Calzaghe overcame an early knockdown to win 118 – 109 on all three judges’ cards. You can get the full report here. – Craig
Sly Was Right
Sly Thinks Whitaker Expendable
Sly announced at the American Film Market convention that he hopes to get Academy Award winner, Forrest Whitaker, for the role of a “devious CIA agent” in his next film “The Expendables.” Sly already has Jason Statham and Jet Li on board and told the crowd: “Whereas the ‘Oceans 11’ films were an ensemble for good looking guys, this is an ensemble for ugly tough guys.” [If only Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin were alive and in their prime!

"Expendables" Teaser
ComingSoon.net scored a first look at “The Expendables” teaser poster currently on display at the American Film Market convention. You can see a Godzilla-sized version here.
Sly is Expendable
Great news! Sly is set to write, direct and star along side Jason Statham in “The Expendables” for Nu Image/Millennium Films [the same company that released the latest Rambo movie].
Jet Li is in final negotiations to join the cast. “The Expendables” begins filming in February and follows a team of mercenaries hired to overthrow a South American dictator. You can read the full report here.
Sly Teams with Arnold
On October 30th, Sly teamed up with Arnold Schwarzenegger for a fundraiser to raise money to help pass a redistricting amendment in California. You can read all about it here. – Craig
Sly Praises Calzaghe
Sly not only believes that Joe Calzaghe will beat Roy Jones Jr. next Saturday in Madison Square Garden, but that Calzaghe is one of the best fighters currently fighting, and that Calzaghe would have been a contender in any era. Strong praise indeed! You can read even more by clicking here. – Craig
Frank Stallone Interview
ProWrestling.net has a nice little interview with Frank Stallone. Frank talks about his time on “Hulk Hogan’s Championship Wrestling,” the odds of Frank and Sly teaming up for some pro wrestling, his time on “The Contender,” and more. You can check out the interview here. – Craig
Rambo Pumpkin
SZoner, Sherry sent us a picture of her pumpkin. Ya gotta love it! – Craig
Rambo Will Be Back… Hopefully
TMZ caught up with Sly as he was driving away. Sly made a couple of jokes and then confirmed that “Rambo will be back… hopefully.”
I’m glad that Sly wants the story to be right, rather than just rushing a movie to the screen to make a buck. It will be worth the wait. – Craig
Rambo Statue Sells Out!
Last month I posted that the Rambo statue from Hollywood Collectibles Group was available for pre-order. Friday, I received the following e-mail from Mark at the Hollywood Collectibles Group:
