Celebrity rags are always ragging on famous ladies who get an (alleged) nip and/or a tuck. Well, now we’re giving it to a few of the men.
We’ll start with Thierry Mugler, who has done gone lost his mind.
TOO MUCH INFORMATION Sylvester Stallone on ex-GF Janice Dickinson: “The only thing I injected her with was my fist.”
Based on the first five Rocky movies, we'd be outraged. But Sly did show a softer side in Rocky Balboa that leads us to believe that his fists, normally resigned to fury, could be used for female pleasure. [Mollygood]
• Faith Hill tells a grabby Tim McGraw fan to "show some respect," keep her hands to herself and refrain from any activity that involves balls flying at her face. In response, an omnipresent Stacy Dash quipped, "Well, there goes your social life."
• "WHICH actress' weight gain is being blamed on her scoundrel ex-boyfriend who knocked her up? She only started shedding some of the weight when he forced her to terminate her pregnancy." Aw, they called Jessica Simpson an "actress."
• We fully believed that Heidi Klum was modeling the chicest, most outrageous in cutting-edge couture until a small child laid eyes on her and said, "But she has nothing on!"
• Joe Pesci to marry Sly Stallone's ex.
• OMG, Paris Hilton was disinherited by her grandfather, reports a myriad of unreliable websites.
• Kelly Osbourne drops thirty pounds by eating healthy, exercising regularly going heavy on the Photoshop.
• Britney's rehab status is officially confirmed by the hardest working manager in Tinseltown.
• Meanwhile, with Britney jumping in and out of rehab, shaving her head and whatnot, K-Fed was forced to cancel his trip to Vegas and take care of the children.
• Sly Stallone is getting juiced, possibly preparing for Rocky X.
• Adrian Grenier is much better at being the Entourage hottie than he is at playing ukulele-inspired rock music.
• Oh no! A giant Hotel Gansevoort billboard is threatening to overtake the glorious Meatpacking landscape wasteland.
• After 18 mostly funny years, The Simpsons movie is finally (almost) here!
• Kiera Knightley sues tabs for alleging she has an eating disorder; Rachel Zoe tells her "get over yourself, fatty!"
• Aww, Nick Lachey had a nerdy high-school crush on Carmen Electra.
• Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams might be secretly married! This would all be so scandalous and tawdry if they didn't already live together in BK with their lovechild.
• Creepy, 60-year-old Sylvester Stallone deprived the female population of his man-juice while filming the Rocky sequel nobody wanted.
• Denis Leary credits Cosmopolitan for his sexual prowess; we credit Denis Leary for the mental picture that made us lose our breakfast.
• Sienna Miller keeps party-hopping with her new BFF, P. Diddy Combs. Diddy, a daddy, says he's been doing an excellent job of keeping his eye on "the twins."
What's the difference between Sylvester Stallone and a shoe fetish? David Pecker doesn't have a shoe fetish (that we know of). Still, the shopping website which holds the same title as the Rocky star's mag, (published by America Media) sued the title in March for $1 million.
The judge sided with the magazine in the end, citing that there would be little confusion between the shopping site and the newsstand publication.
Not like any of this matters at all, since AMI's pulling the plug on the mag, anyways. Maybe it's because nobody can quite figure out how Sly is a nickname for Sylvester. You can't just change letters around to make nick-name!

Earlier: 'Sly' vs. 'Sly': Stallone has some copycat explaining to do
Back in August, it was rumored that American Media Inc. was trying to unload Sylvester Stallone's ode to the mid-life crisis, Sly. Now it turns out AMI chief David Pecker OK'd a fourth issue of the magazine, guaranteeing Met-Rx will have another glossy to run ads in and Stallone won't be whining to a gossip outlet this week.
After crunching the numbers from the test, the company has elected to publish a fourth issue, to be dated December/January. The magazine's ad hoc editorial team of freelancers and Men's Fitness staffers, which had been placed on hiatus, has resumed work on the title. "It's nice to have an alternative magazine that comes from someone's voice, someone's perspective," said editor in chief Neal Boulton.
Yes, an "alternative" magazine. You know the type: Those magazines operated by major publishers and spearheaded by a former Hollywood A-lister targeting middle aged men — because nobody else is.
Sylvester Stallone's forehead veins are popping and he's directing his rage at you (and us) for thinking his over-the-hill magazine Sly is on the chopping block.
He's bitching to Page Six over the accusations (printed right here on Jossip, natch) surfacing yesterday.
Not only is Stallone in a rage, but he says American Media Inc.'s David Pecker is pumping the air with his fists as well over such untruths. The audacity of some gossips!
I am not another Rosie O'Donnell. I am serious about my magazine. We are already in talks with Gwen Stefani for our next cover. I saw her at my gym and she said she wanted to do it, and the issue is 60 percent done.
For you to be another Rosie O'Donnnell, Sly, you'd need to start throwing lawsuits around instead of uppercuts. But we'll be waiting. Eagerly. Because this shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
In between silencing criticism over its consulting deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger and entertaining an open casting call for interns, American Media Inc. is quietly trying to unload Sly magazine, Sylvester Stallone's middle-aged men's magazine that we always expected to be a public embarrassment.
AMI published three issues of the rag so far but is stalling in printing a fourth issue, but not because readers aren't interested enough to meet the 125,000 rate base. It's advertisers who've dropped the ball, and negligible ad sales does not a happy man David Pecker make. All this after so much bickering over copyrights.
If you're as excited about the debut of Sylvester Stallone's Sly magazine as you are about his boxing reality series The Contender, then you won't be excited about this item either - unless you qualify as a Jossip regular reader (and not one here just for some racy Britney Spears and Paris Hilton photos), then you'll be thrilled to know about the latest media vs. media spat brewing.
We've got American Media/Stallone's Sly and Sly Magazine LLC, which planned to sell its first issue later this year. The name of the two magazines, however, is where the similarities end. Stallone's Sly is for the 40+ man who started taking Viagra recreationally three years ago and now takes it for its actual medical purpose, while Sly LLC targets fashion and apparel loving women.
Sly LLC, which already owns SlyMagazine.com, says it notified AMI multiple times about the alleged trademark infringement, while the Magazine Publishers of America says it only has Stallone's title in its database.
So who's right and holds original claim to the magazine title Sly? If you ask us, Stallone and AMI should hand over the name to Sly Magazine LLC. After all, they did throw their launch party first.
