The October 9, 2001, issue of The National Enquirer features and article titled “Stars Pull Out All Stops” written by Michael Glynn and Beverly Williston. The article discusses all of the efforts celebrities have made to provide financial relief to victims of the 9-11 terrorist acts. A much smaller version of the pic above appears with the article.

On October 9, 2001, SLY STALLONE and his wife JENNIFER FLAVIN attended the Art Heals benefit in Santa Monica, California. All the money raised from the event, along with artwork created by celebrities will go to the September 11th fund to aid victims of the attacks on 9/11 in New York and Washington.
“Stallone, Glenn Catch CBS’ Eye with ’02 Dramas” was the headline of Nellie Andreeva’s article in The Hollywood Reporter. Here’s what Andreeva had to say about Sly’s project…
The network is finalizing a deal with Brad Grey Television for a project tentatively titled “The Priest,” which is based on an idea by Sylvester Stallone.
“The Priest” centers on a nonconformist priest in a big city, who helps both homeless and rich people with their problems, while struggling with personal problems of his own, including fidelity. The project is expected to get a premium script deal from CBS.
Brad Grey is in conversations with writer Cynthia Cidre (“The Mambo Kings”) to come on board and co-create the show with Stallone. Stallone will executive produce the project, and Jimmy Veres, who runs the television division of the actor’s Sylvester Stallone Co., will produce.
Stallone has been very active in television lately. He recently sold a NASCAR-themed pitch to NBC.
Stallone, who most recently co-starred in “Driven,” and his company are repped by ICM and Brillstein-Grey. Cidre is repped by WMA.
