Actor Sylvester Stallone will be moving to Florida after decades of living in California with his wife, Jennifer Flavin Stallone. The pair made the announcement during the second season premiere of their reality television program The Family Stallone on Wednesday. After 25 years of marriage and three daughters, the Stallones nearly divorced in 2022 but have since reconciled and continued living together after their daughters all moved out. “It’s an empty nest. I need to change it up,” Jennifer Flavin Stallone, 55, explained during the episode. “We have a lot of roots in California, so it’s not an easy transition...

Madison-area progressive radio takes another hit. John "Sly" Sylvester’s daily call-in program has been booted from 93.7 WEKZ-FM. Sylvester, a longtime liberal commentator, announced on his Facebook page that he learned of the change Friday. WEKZ is part of the southern Wisconsin/northern Illinois Big Radio regional chain of eight stations, based in Monroe. He will remain a DJ for the station. The change comes at a bad time for Madison listeners of liberal radio. On Nov. 9, 92.1 The Mic, WXXM-FM, dropped its progressive talk format and replaced it with Christmas music. “The last two years I've been pulling double...

Gov. Scott Walker has always been considered a radio talk show darling. But who knew the talkers were actually opening their wallets to help him out? Along with receiving $500 from Charlie Sykes, the first-term governor also got $150 from Jay Weber, who has a morning show on WISN-AM (1130), and $100 from John "Sly" Sylvester of WTDY-AM (1670) in Madison in 2009. But wait - isn't Sly a liberal who has been appearing frequently at the Capitol protests against the first-term Republican governor? Yep. Sylvester said he was made the donation to Walker in an attempt to stick it...

LOS ANGELES: At 60, Sylvester Stallone thinks it's time to show people that the careers of "guys like me," can last long after most people retire, and he sets out to prove it in his new movie, Rocky Balboa. "This is uncharted waters. People are living longer. They are healthier. They have more ambition, more energy, yet society is telling them to move aside," Stallone told Reuters. "It's different now, and I thought, 'Boy, if I could just come up with a dramatic premise to use as a platform.'" Balboa, which debuts in US theatres on December 20, is the...

NEW YORK -- Sylvester Stallone can keep his magazine "Sly" on newsstands despite the complaints of an Internet magazine with the same name that a judge suggested was more of a shoe "fetish" publication. U.S. District Judge Richard Casey said the actor who gained fame as "Rocky" in the 1970s could continue to produce the lifestyle and fitness magazine for middle age men even though it carries the same title as the Internet magazine. "There is a little difference between shoe fetish and Mr. Sylvester Stallone," Casey said at a hearing Tuesday. John Bostany, a lawyer for the Internet magazine...

“Then what is it you want?” “I want, what they want, and every other guy who came over here and spilled his guts and gave everything he had wants! For our country to love us as much as we love it. That’s what I want!”Such were the words of Vietnam War veteran and American icon John Rambo at the end of Rambo: First Blood Part II, the second highest grossing film of 1985. But despite the boffo success of Rambo and a few other summer flicks, Hollywood 1985 suffered through the biggest box office slump ever recorded. Until now that...

“Sly” is not a racist. He just plays one on the radio. Black women are stereotyped as subservient mammies; black men are derided as “Uncle Toms.” And John Sylvester of Madison’s WTDY radio offers only the lamest of apologies. In fact, he continues to bask in the publicity he’s won by calling Condoleezza Rice an “Aunt Jemima” and Colin Powell an “Uncle Tom.” Of course, Sly is not the first white entertainer to try to build an audience by turning black people into a minstrel show, but the episode nevertheless speaks volumes about the acceptable bigotry of the left. For...

President George W. Bush is the very first President to hold a Masters Degree in Business Administration. Even better (or worse, depending on your perspective), his MBA is from Harvard Business School, where postgraduate management training was invented in the early part of the last century, and which to many stands as a symbol of the good, the bad, and the ugly faces of modern management. Harvard MBAs indisputably lead more major corporations, receive higher starting salaries fresh out of school, and carry with them more élan and glamour than the graduates of any rival business schools – facts which...
