No One Ever Said Sly Was Particularly Subtle
Sylvester Stallone and model Jennifer Flavin, back together again, are hoping the second time around won’t be quite so, well, rocky.
Stallone, as you may recall, previously dumped Flavin two years ago through what she called a “pretty sloppy” handwritten letter delivered by Federal Express.
She once said his body was so flawless that “I look for fat when he’s sleeping at night, and I can’t squeeze any. And he’s got a perfect behind. It’s like a little peach.”
Stallone wasn’t as generous in the old days. “In the morning, he tells me what’s wrong with my body,” Flavin said then.
One time, she said, “I was eating Gummi Bears, and he had told me not to eat candy. He started screaming at me for eating them. He broke a plate and threw the Gummi Bears at me.”
Loose talk
Former bodybuilder Cory Everson, on Jean-Claude Van Damme, her “Double Impact” co-star: “He’s gorgeous. He’s a nice guy. But I just don’t find him attractive. I like weird-looking people who aren’t so perfect.”

You won’t get too rich unless you’re too thin
Janeane Garofalo (“The Truth About Cats & Dogs”) has dropped more than 25 pounds, but she isn’t completely happy about it. “I’m highly ashamed,” she tells Elle magazine. “I’ve crossed over to the side of the sellouts … I realized that as a woman in this business, there is one way to increase my chances of getting hired. Because, miraculously, you become more talented as you become thinner.”
In Hollywood now, it’s all cash-and-Carrey
Even Alec Baldwin can’t believe the big paychecks his fellow actors are hauling home these days. “I see that Jim Carrey gets $20 million to make a movie,” Baldwin told Good Housekeeping. “If I got $20 million, I’d do one movie and quit. How much money do you need? I’d take the $20 million and go home.”
And perhaps Castro will start wearing plaid
The London Daily Mail tracked down Cuban relatives of Madonna’s personal trainer and sperm donor, Carlos Leon, and found cousins farming for $2.25 a week and living without water or electricity. Said one: “I’ve heard of champagne but I don’t even know what it looks like … Perhaps Carlos and Madonna will invite us to visit them in Miami.”
Like a surgeon, in gloves for the very first time
Princess Diana is getting sliced and diced in the British press for sitting in on an African boy’s heart surgery Monday, the sixth operation she’s observed so far. Nurses expressed surprise that Di was allowed to wear makeup and jewelry into the operating room, one psychiatrist called it “a strange sort of voyeurism” and the Daily Mirror printed a form for patients to pin to their beds that reads: “I do/do not want to be visited by a member of the royal family.”
