Sylvester Stallone Again Hits Out at ‘Rocky’ Producer Over Drago Spin-Off

Sylvester Stallone isn’t pulling any punches over his dissatisfaction with where the ‘Rocky’ franchise is heading — once again publicly lashing out at one of the OG producers.
Sly went on the attack for a second time this weekend, posting a very scathing message aimed at Irwin Winkler … who helped get ‘Rocky’ off the ground way back in the day, and who apparently has an ownership stake in the IP — while SS has none himself.
That’s where Sylvester’s beef lies, and he made it clear in yet another critique on Instagram … throwing up art renderings that depict Irwin and others as animals and evil villains, who are stabbing Sly in the back, etc.
Sylvester writes, “After IRWIN WINKLER And FAMILY SUCK ROCKY DRY ! Presumed to be the most hated , untalented , decrepited , Producer in Hollywood and his cowardly children have found their next meal… Drago , RETURN MY RIGHTS BLOODSUCKERS!”
He’s talking about the fact that Dolph Lundgren is reported to be starring in a spin-off film that’ll see him reprise his character from ‘Rocky IV’ — something Sylvester says he wasn’t made aware of, and which he strongly disapproves of … saying he never meant these precious characters of his to be milked to this degree in future projects.
Sylvester says he sees this as nothing but a greedy money-grab, and even calls out his old costar by name — asking why he didn’t reach out to talk about this before the word was out.
BTW, a couple weeks ago … Sylvester was also venting frustrations about not owning any of ‘Rocky’ for himself … and he pleaded with Irwin to do the right thing and hand over some of the rights, which he feels — at least in part — belong to him since he’s the creator of ‘Rocky.’
Sylvester has been speaking out about this more and more lately — and it’s starting to turn ugly. Some fans side with Sly … while others are calling him out for acting unprofessionally.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
As for Dolph, he’s addressed Sly’s concerns, writing … “Just to set the record straight regarding a possible Drago spinoff. There’s no approved script, no deals in place, no director and I was personally under the impression that my friend Sly Stallone was involved as a producer or even as an actor. There was a press leak last week which was unfortunate. In touch with Mr Balboa – just so all the fans can relax…There ya go.”
Irwin and his kids — some of whom are also involved with ‘Rocky’ productions these days — have remained silent on the issue.

XXXTentacion Mom Reacts to Murder Verdict, Happy for Closure

XXXTentacion‘s family can finally turn the page over his tragic murder now that 3 men were found guilty of killing him — so says his mother … who’s relieved justice was served.
The late rapper’s mom, Cleopatra Bernard, tells TMZ … she and her brood are grateful the jury delivered a guilty verdict, and thankful prosecutors were able to secure it through their work at trial. She says this has given them closure and will allow them to move forward in peace.
We’re told she’s also sending love and thanks to all of XXX’s supporters … who showed up for him in a variety of ways during this saga — both digitally and, in some cases, in person.

XXXTentacion’s Accused Killers Found Guilty of Murder
As for whether Cleopatra anticipated this outcome, she tells us she actually did … and went into court Monday expecting all three defendants would be found guilty of murder — which, of course, they were after about 2 weeks of deliberations. She was also wearing an XXX shirt.
Cleopatra says the experience has been gut-wrenching but is glad it’s all over now.
One last thing from Cleopatra here — she tells us that the attempt to rope Drake into this trial from the defense side was a transparently desperate ploy just to raise doubt — and insists she and her loved ones always knew who was responsible for her son’s death.
That would be the 3 guys who now face serious prison time — Michael Boatwright, Trayvon Newsome, and Dedrick Williams. Their fates seemed to have been sealed when another man admitted to being involved in the murder and testified against them, laying it all on the table.

Stormy Daniels Getting Threats Ahead of Likely Trump Arrest, Taking Security Precautions

Stormy Daniels is feeling the effects of Donald Trump‘s possible looming arrest … we’re told her life is being threatened, so she’s beefing up her security.
Stormy’s attorney, Clark Brewster, tells TMZ … his client recently received lots of “vitriolic messages” on social media, including some very concerning direct messages.
The alleged threats come on the heels of Trump announcing Saturday he expects to be arrested Tuesday by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg over the notorious Stormy Daniels hush-money case.
Stormy’s attorney says she’s taking extra precautions — her team doesn’t want to share specifics, for fear of tipping off someone who might want to do her harm. … Brewster has only said in the past, “Stormy for years has had security when she needs to.”
As for some of the nasty online comments, Stormy’s been called a “Worthless Whore,” “degenerate prostitute” and an “extortionist who should be in prison.”
Remember … Bragg has been investigating Trump for allegedly making a $130,000 payment to Stormy ahead of the 2016 election. Trump is accused of brokering the deal with the porn star to buy her silence over their alleged affair, accusations Trump has long denied.
Stormy, we’re told, has been threatened before over DM … and her attorney says Stormy knows what steps to take to ensure she’s safe and comfortable.
So, all eyes Tuesday will be trained on Trump … and Stormy.

Amanda Bynes’ Parents Not Considering Another Conservatorship Amid Psych Hold

Amanda Bynes‘ parents aren’t viewing her recent psychotic episode as a reason to put her into another conservatorship … but that doesn’t mean her episode hasn’t set off alarm bells.
A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Amanda’s parents, Lynn and Rick, are deeply concerned about their daughter’s well-being and health after her latest ordeal — but another conservatorship isn’t on the table, at least for now.
Amanda had been living independently in her own house and taking cosmetology classes and until fairly recently seemed to be doing fine, so Sunday’s episode seemed like an anomaly.
We’re told her parents are also taking comfort in the fact Amanda was self-aware enough to recognize she was in trouble … flagging down a car for help and calling 911 herself.
TMZ broke the story, Amanda was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold after being spotted walking naked near Downtown L.A. Sunday morning.
She was taken to a nearby police station and a mental health team felt a psych hold was necessary. Typically, 5150 holds last only 72 hours, but they can be extended.
As you know, Amanda was in a conservatorship for almost a decade, starting back in 2013 while struggling with her mental health. The plug was pulled on her conservatorship a year ago tomorrow.
