[ [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-26567707_ITM Stamp me Jewish. | Asia Africa Intelligence Wire (, 2002) ] ] During her youth, Stallone was a trapeze artist in a circus and a chorus girl in a nightclub. She was also a hairdresser. Stallone lived a relatively quiet life for most of her years. Even after Sylvester starred in the film "Rocky " in 1976 she remained unknown to the general public.Television appearances
Stallone appeared on the 1980s wrestling program called GLOW:
Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling . Stallone was shown rapping with Americana, Mt. Fiji and Susie Spirit behind her. She rapped about Aunt Kittie's girls and making them kitty litter. Stallone became famous in her own right during the mid-1990s, by publishing astrology books, making television appearances, and setting up a psychic hotline where she would charge telephone callers for the advice of her and other operators. She also invented the term "rumpology ", which, according to her, is an art similar to that ofpalm reading except that the procedure is done by examining pictures of people's rear ends. She also claims that she can consult dogs to find out about the future. She also became involved in thecosmetics industry, launching facial masks and other products that she claimed cured skin problems.Once in the early 1990s she appeared on the
Howard Stern show and engaged in a heated on-air argument with Sylvester's dad, Frank Stallone Sr. She accused him of being horrible in bed and that he wanted to have Sylvester aborted. She said that she faked the abortion and that Frank didn't know about it until she gave birth.In January 2005, she appeared in the UK TV series "Celebrity Big Brother" as a "surprise" contestant. She was brought onto the show to create tension within the "house", as her former daughter-in-law
Brigitte Nielsen , with whom she notoriously did not get along, was also a contestant. She was the first contestant voted out by viewers after spending four days in the house. During her time in the house she was bullied by most of her housemates, such asJohn McCririck andLisa I'Anson , who told Jackie to choke on her eggs and sniggered at her for being unable to open a bottle of wine, she also referred to Jackie as "The Bride Of Frankenstein ", another tormentor wasJeremy Edwards who jumped up and down with delight in front of Jackie's face on her eviction announcement and later bragged that it was comedy genius, Edwards andKenzie laughed hysterically when she walked into a wall in the dark bedroom.Stallone appeared on BBC TV Show "
Through the Keyhole " in March 2007, whereStephanie Powers explored her LA home and then interviewed her.Jokes
Her claims have inspired many jokes, and she has been widely ridiculed by the media about her alleged powers. On one edition of "
Saturday Night Live ", actressJaneane Garofalo played her during a skit that mocked her psychic hotline.In their 2005 Christmas Special, comedic duo
French & Saunders parodied Jackie Stallone's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother UK and her interaction with her former daughter-in-lawBrigitte Nielsen .But Stallone has also made many friends in the entertainment business after becoming famous herself. One of them isCristina Saralegui , who proclaimed her friendship with Stallone during a show where she was a special guest.References
