SYLVESTER STALLONE SAYS HE IS STILL ALIVE: Not dead yet! A death hoax claiming Sylvester Stallone passed away resurfaced on social media, and the actor tried to shut it down just as quickly. “Please ignore the stupidity,” the 71-year-old actor tweeted Monday. “Alive and well and happy and healthy…Still punching!” His brother also took to Twitter, writing the death is “a total hoax, not funny not cool.”

GEOFFREY RUSH ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT: A lawyer accused the Oscar-winning Australian actor Geoffrey Rush in court on Monday of touching an actress inappropriately while starring in King Lear in Sydney. Rush, meanwhile, is suing Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph over articles in which his alleged misconduct was described.

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN REVEALS SHE WEIGHS 98 POUNDS: On a scene cut from Keeping Up With the Kardashians Sunday night, Kourtney Kardashian revealed that she weighs a whopping 98 pounds (just 36 pounds more than her 8-year-old).

She posted footage of the incident on Instagram, writing: “This is how I put her in the box. So professional!”
