Simon Barber, the webmaster of Frank Stallone‘s website, gave us a heads up earlier in the week that the StalloneZone was featured in an article about “good” websites in the UK magazine Total Film. When Simon got his copy he was nice enough to send us scans of the coverage.
Thanks to Simon for his kindness. Check out Simon‘s work at Frank‘s site [and tell him we sent you!]
Also remember that Frank Stallone is hosting a showing of one of the Rocky films on ESPN Classic’s ‘Reel Classics‘ every Sunday night in June at 9pm EST/6PM Pacific. Frank will also share the inside stories, and display his extensive collection of boxing memorabilia!

At the movies: SYLVESTER STALLONE clings to his fading superstardom in CLIFFHANGER, the week’s No. 2 movie.
As to the comment, “fading superstardom,” how many stars fade for 9 years? Puh-leaze!

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.

| It’s in the cards: Griffith hustled into ‘Shade’ role Mon May 27, 7:13 PM ET by Zorianna Kit LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) — Melanie Griffith has joined the cast of RKO Pictures/Merv Griffin Entertainment’s crime thriller “Shade” for first-time writer-director Damian Nieman. Production begins Thursday in Los Angeles. “Shade” is set in the world of poker hustlers working the clubs and martini bars of Los Angeles. The tale unfolds as the hustlers — Thandie Newton, Stuart Townsend and Gabriel Byrne — encounter “The Dean” (Sylvester Stallone) and pull off a successful sting that results in their pursuit by a vengeful gangster. Jamie Foxx also stars as a man who wants to become a hustler but ends up getting hustled. Griffith will star as a Stallone‘s ex-flame who rekindles her romance with him when he arrives in the city. RKO chairman and CEO Ted Hartley is producing with Hammond Entertainment’s David Schnepp and Chris Hammond. Merv Griffin and Joe Nicolo will executive produce with actor Bo Hopkins, who also is in the film. Cobalt Media Group’s Peter Rogers and Ralpho Borgos are handling international sales. “Shade” will mark the second RKO-related project for Griffith, who starred as Marion Davies in the 1999 HBO feature “RKO 281,” about the battle between William Randolph Hearst and Orson Welles over the 1941 feature film “Citizen Kane,” which was produced by RKO, at that time known as RKO Radio Pictures Inc. Griffith, repped by WMA, was nominated for a best actress Oscar for her role in “Working Girl.” She next voices a character in Columbia Pictures’ “Stuart Little 2” and stars in the indie feature “Tempo” opposite Rachael Leigh Cook. – Craig Zablo [May 31, 2002] |
