6:40AM Defamer Hollywood | A routine press tour to promote the Australian release of Rocky Balboa last February put Sylvester Stallone in an embarrassing predicament, as airport customs agents discovered
48 vials of human growth hormone inside the senescent action star’s luggage. As Stallone fans cope with the shattering suspicion that their 61-year-old underdog screen hero may have achieved his gladiatorial frame through the use of banned substances, the actor himself has been
cooperating with Australian authorities:
Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone has provided medical documents to Australia’s customs after being charged with importing 48 vials of banned human growth hormone, his lawyer told a Sydney court on Tuesday.
Stallone, who has not yet entered a plea, was not in the Sydney court for the brief hearing. His case was adjourned until May 15 to allow customs to examine Stallone’s medical material, which was not revealed in court.
Stallone’s lawyer, John Chicken, said the matter should be finalised soon. “We’re certainly seeking to move to a resolution,” he told the court.
Chicken’s boldly optimistic tone suggests that the voluminous medical records should indicate the HGH was at worst a doctor-prescribed supplement to the actor’s regular workout routine, a 99% natural program consisting of a vigorous weightlifting regimen and the consumption of no less than three whole, deboned sheep per day. Certainly, the moment the courts see for themselves that Stallone’s trusted longtime personal physician Dr Flex Goodbody of the Freakishly Massive Free Clinic endorsed the use of the substance, they will swiftly clear Stallone of any crime.

4:18PM Clem Bastow | Ho-hum Australian model Cheyenne Tozzi flew into Sydney with celebrity boyfriend Brandon Davis – aka Mr ex-Mischa Barton, and originator of the “firecrotch” dramz – to spend some quality time hanging out where the paparazzi are sure to make them both look important, but the gruesome twosome were held up at customs when it turned out Davis was planning on going buck wild down under.
Loaded with US dollars, the 28-year-old was delayed for more than two hours, while his pin-up girlfriend became increasingly agitated while waiting in the arrivals area.
“She was pacing around the whole time, with her mobile phone at her ear, trying to look anonymous,” a witness told The Daily Telegraph. “With her sunglasses on inside, everyone was looking at her.”
A Customs spokesman declined to comment on individual passenger details for privacy reasons yesterday, but said travellers were required to declare if they were carrying more than $10,000 or the equivalent in foreign currency.
Davis, who began dating the younger of the two Tozzi sisters last year, was finally allowed through to meet a waiting car and driver about 10.30am, after arriving on an 8am flight from the US.
By that time, Tozzi had been collected by friends in another vehicle, leaving her wealthy beau behind.
Davis was later spotted being accosted by some firemen who’d purchased some industrial strength, king-sized oil blotting sheets and were trying to roll him up in them. More »
