Sage Stallone, son of actor Sylvester, found dead in LA



The 36-year-old son of Sylvester Stallone was found dead Friday, leaving the actor grief-stricken, his publicist said.
Authorities were investigating Sage Stallone's death, but details were not immediately available.
"Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son," publicist Michelle Bega said in a statement. "His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother, Sasha."
Los Angeles police said they were dispatched to investigate a death at a home on Mulholland Terrace around 2:15 p.m. but could not confirm the person's identity or offer details.
Coroner's officials also said they were in the initial investigative stages.
"Sage was a very talented and wonderful young man, his loss will be felt forever," Bega said.
George Braunstein, an attorney who has represented Sage Stallone for 15 years, said a housekeeper found his body Friday afternoon. Friends and acquaintances had become concerned because they hadn't heard from Stallone in the past day, Braunstein said.
Sage Moonblood Stallone was the oldest of Sylvester Stallone's children and co-starred with his father in two films. He was the first of two sons Stallone had with first wife Sasha Czack.
Sage Stallone made his acting debut in 1990's "Rocky V" and also appeared with his father in 1996's "Daylight."
Also in 1996, Sage Stallone and veteran film editor Bob Murawski co-founded Grindhouse Releasing, a company dedicated to preserving and promoting the B-movies and exploitation films of the 1970s and 80s.
"He was very respectful of all the actors in all the movies," Braunstein said. "You couldn't mention a movie that he didn't know everything about."
Sage Stallone also directed the 2006 short "Vic," which screened at the Palm Springs Film Festival.
Braunstein said Stallone was planning on getting married for the first time, and had frequent requests to work on films.
"He was a full of life filmmaker with his whole future ahead of him," Braunstein said. "He was just very up and enthusiastic and positive.
"I think it was probably some sort of accident," he said of the death.
Braunstein said Sage Stallone greatly admired his father but was working hard to make his own name in the film industry.

ESPY Winners: Jeremy Lin, Tim Tebow And LeBron James Win At 2012 ESPYS Awards


James won a leading three individual trophies, including male athlete of the year, and shared in another at the 20th annual show celebrating the year's best athletes and moments in sports.

He wasn't on hand to accept because he was in Las Vegas with the rest of the U.S. national team preparing for the upcoming London Olympics.

James outpolled tennis player Novak Djokovic, Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in fan voting for male athlete honors. He also won in the championship performance and NBA player categories, while sharing in the best team award, with Juwan Howard and Mike Miller accepting for the Heat.

"He's had a magnifying glass on him since he was 17 years old and I think he's handled himself really, really well," Miller said of James backstage. "Unbelievable teammate, unbelievable father, so those are the most important things. He's just a likeable guy. He's a great basketball player to boot."

Baylor basketball star Brittney Griner won two trophies, including female athlete of the year in which she beat out French Open champion Maria Sharapova, skier Lindsay Vonn and soccer player Abby Wambach.

Quarterback Robert Griffin III, who like Griner starred at Baylor, won male college athlete honors. Griner took female college athlete honors for leading the Lady Bears to a 40-0 record and the NCAA championship.

Union vs Kansas City, 2-0 Match Video Highlights

Kansas City, 2-0, Wednesday night at PPL Park in Chester, ending Philadelphia's bid to win the U.S. Open Cup.

The downright ugly Cup semifinal matchup was the fifth game in 16 days for the newly revived Union. Under the guidance of interim team manager John Hackworth, the Union (5-10-2) had won four of their five previous games.

There were six total yellow cards and 36 fouls in the game, as referee Jorge Gonzalez became a target for the loud, rowdy crowd of 8,486, who consistently showed their disgust for the officiating.

"It's completely baffling, that's all I can say," an upset Hackworth said after the game. "I don't know how a player or a coach can stay and play their game, manage what they have to manage, when that kind of stuff happens."

The Union got to the semifinal by winning their first Open Cup match in late May, defeating the Rochester Rhinos at home, 3-0, then going on to beat D.C. United, 2-1, and the Harrisburg City Islanders, 5-2, in the next two rounds.

Sporting Kansas City (11-5-3), the first-place team in MLS's Eastern Conference, had lost to the ninth-place Union, 4-0, at PPL Park on June 23.

"I think beating them 4-0 last game didn't really do us any good," forward Jack McInerney said. "We knew they were going to come here and play physical and look for fouls. There were a couple of scuffles here and there, but we needed to keep our composure."

A sloppy first half saw a lot of bad touches and physical play without many scoring opportunities. Each team had eight fouls apiece in the first 45 minutes of play.

"They disrupted us a little bit," Freddy Adu said. "When they got physical, when they hit us, and when they get away with some other stuff, it makes it a little bit difficult."

For the second straight game McInerney provided the best offensive chances for the Union. Michael Farfan's free kick into the box for a McInerney's header in the 31st minute was the Union's most dangerous scoring opportunity in the first half. The header was on target but just high, up and over the crossbar. In the 38th minute, McInerney sent a low blast wide of the net.

In the first half, Sporting Kansas City had two corner kicks and several free kicks just outside the 18, including five total shots. At the half, the game remained scoreless.

Amobi Okugo had a solid defensive game again for the Union, constantly clearing the ball and breaking up passes.

Antoine Hoppenot, who has been a spark plug off the bench for the Union in recent games, entered for Lionard Pajoy in the 64th minute. While he had several close chances, Hoppenot could not put one away.

In the 65th minute, Graham Zusi sent a free kick into the box and Jacob Peterson got a head on it, sending the ball into the top right corner of the net. The ball deflected off goalkeeper Zac MacMath's hands and into the back of the net.

"It just snuck in there, that's all," MacMath said of the goal.

"I know I can save that ball and I should save that ball."

Adu had a chance for an equalizer in the 89th minute after controlling the ball in the box, but he sent his shot sailing over the net.

Zusi put the game away for Sporting in stoppage time when a long blast from midfield went past MacMath, who had been playing up, about 40 yards off his line.

Kansas City advances to final against the winner of Wednesday's Seattle Sounders-Chivas USA game, which ended too late for this edition.

Robert Blake to Piers Morgan: 'Nobody Tells Me I'ma Liar'


Blake was arrested in 2002, almost a year after the murder of his wife Bonnie Lee Bakley—a charge for which he was acquitted of in 2005. When Morgan said he wasn’t sure if the actor was telling the truth about the events surrounding her death, Blake and the host had a fiery exchange:

“Well, tell me where I'm lying, because if you don't know I'm telling you the truth, then you must have a little scratch in the back of your head about where I'm lying,” Blake shouted. “Tell me where I’m lying.”

“I’m not saying you’re lying,” Morgan told him, but was unable to placate the irate entertainer.

“You said I might not be telling the truth. What the hell is the difference?” Blake roared back. He eventually calmed down, citing his “thin skin” as the reason for his seemingly hysterical response.

“I've never allowed anybody to ask me the questions that you're asking,” Blake told him sullenly. “I allowed you to do that because I trust you. And I would have assumed that you and that guy in your ear would trust me. And if you don't, then we'd better start talking about 'The Little Rascals.'"

This snippet of their long conversation is just the tip of the iceberg. For more tune into "Piers Morgan Tonight" at 9:00 p.m.

UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen Fight Video Result



The most anticipated rematch in UFC history took less then seven minutes to play out.

In a bout two years in the making, Anderson Silva pounced on a mistake made by his most heated rival, Chael Sonnen, and quickly finished the bout. Silva, who has been UFC middleweight champion for nearly six years, retained his title via TKO at 1:55 of the second round in the main event of UFC 148.
In their first bout in the summer of 2010 at UFC 117 in Oakland, Sonnen dominated Silva for four-and-a-half rounds before Silva scored a stunning submission victory, the first time in UFC history a fighter won the first four rounds and then lost in the fifth.

It seemed like more of the same in round one at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, as Sonnen, a former collegiate wrestler from West Linn, Ore., instantly scored a takedown on Silva and spent the entire round working him over from top position.

In the second round, though, Sonnen went for a spinning back elbow, a rarely used, flashy move, and missed wildly, landing on the canvas. Silva responded with a knee to the body and several right hands before referee Yves Levigne stopped the fight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this sport is the best sport in the world," said Silva. "Me and Chael work hard for all the people here. Chael disrespected my country, but that's fine. That is nothing for me. This is a sport, this is UFC. Yeah."

With the win, Silva added to several UFC records, including consecutive wins (15) and successful title defenses (10).

Earlier in the evening on the same fight card, former UFC light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz let it all hang out in the final fight of his career.

But the man who helped put the modern-day UFC on the map came up short, losing the third fight of his trilogy with fellow former champion Forrest Griffin.

Ortiz (16-11-1), who was champion from 2000-03, had his moments in the bout and decisively won the third round, but the judges scored the bout 29-28 across the board for Griffin.

In a bizarre post fight scene, Griffin, thinking he had lost, fled the Octagon, and had to be forced to return to the cage. The crowd booed Griffin lustily after being announced as the winner.

Ortiz, of Huntington Beach, Calif., reiterated after the bout that he was done."I gave it my all," Ortiz told Griffin. "I gave it my all. This is my last fight tonight. I've been doing this for 15 years, man."

Ortiz won their first bout in 2006 via split decision; Griffin took a split decision in a 2009 rematch.

Veteran Cung Le (10-2) won for the first time in the UFC by taking a unanimous decision in a slugfest against Quebec City's Patrick Cote (17-8). The 40-year old former kickboxing champion from San Jose used his arsenal of kicks to by and large keep Cote, a classic power puncher, off balance and out of range. All three judges gave Le the bout on 30-27 scores.
