STALLONE: NO LONGER A KNOW-IT-ALL?

Sylvester Stallone did a surprisingly candid interview with James Hibbard at The Hollywood Reporter, and it brought back some memories. Sly admitted that he was obnoxious and “thought he knew everything” when he became successful. Back in the day, his biggest competitor was Arnold Schwarzenegger- (it so happens I introduced them when we were all walking out of a screening in the late 70’s.) They became rivals and Arnold admitted to faking interest in a dud movie (Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot) to lure Sly into pouncing on the role. Sly went so far as to pay a UK writer to write a book about Arnold’s father, who was a Nazi, figuring it would kill his career. (It didn’t, and Arnold is quite the opposite of his father) Now that both actors are older – they realize they have a lot in common and are good friends. They like smoking cigars together.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Hair! Sylvester Stallone

STALLONE’S CHALLENGE TO SCHWARZENEGGER: DITCH THE HAIR DYE!

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been rivals since day one – they both started out around the same time and (In fact, I introduced them as we were leaving a screening back in the 70’s) Stallone started working out in the gym like a madman for his Rocky movies and he was always competitive with Arnold, who was very sure of himself. After years of boxoffice rivalry they became friends and they enjoy teasing each other. Both guys have dyed their hair for years, and recently Sly observed that he looks pretty good with grey hair and he’s going natural. He’s flaunting photos on Instagram – will Arnold take the hint and give up the dye also?

Kim Kardashian Paris Hilton Rivals

PARIS HILTON IS THE ANTI-KARDASHIAN

A few years back, Kim Kardashian snatched Paris Hilton’s title as “Most Photographed Girl Who is Famous for Doing Nothing.” Needless to say, they are not fond of each other. Paris was just photographed in New York looking the EXACT OPPOSITE of a Kardashian. She’s dressed like a sorority girl. There is no tasteless cleavage, no heavy makeup and false eyelashes, no bulging body parts covered by straining spandex. And no scowling Kanye in the background!
It’s kinda refreshing…
