Procrastination Is Like Masturbation; In The End Your Just Screwing Yourself
February 17th, 09'

  I stand accused of both, however, I won’t be talking about masturbation. I’m sure a lot of you out there are breathing a sigh of relief. Which I can totally dig. Who the hell wants to here about my masturbation rituals. (lol) Or do you?  Nah, I’m just giving ya’ll the business. Speaking of business, there is  matter that needs to be brought to the forefront and it’s  something I have been putting off for a few days. This topic has been discussed many times on uniquelyrourke, yet with the influx of new folks discovering Mickey and the recent rash of Guest Book entries/emails - it looks as though I’m going to have to got down the road again.

  After almost five years, it is still hard for me to fathom, the need - on occasion - to bring to light the BULLSHIT that continues to reek havoc on unsuspecting Rourke fans by a  despicable web site that uses the Rourke name to promote, the owner/associates in some sort of official capacity. The have conjured up - self-inflicted titles such, as Administrator, Editor, New Media Administrator. Director Administrator , Technical Administrator, Extension Page Administrator blah blah. Fer Sakes, after reading some of the shit that was sent to me by Rourke fans this past weekend - I’ve come to the conclusion that these morons - need to go out and by a fuckin’ DICKTIONARY.

  Here’s the deal - we’ve been getting Guest Book entries - referencing the Star Petition that has been circulating the internet. Not to mention, people are asking if Mickey is supporting this petition because  the context of the petition is written as though Mickey has a hand in it. It was such a drag that Heather and I, had to write these people back telling them that they were being DUPED by these unscrupulous wannabe’s.

 1) Mickey is not in any way involved with this website or the petition they have people signing. He does not acknowledge this website nor does he endorse or condone the petition. Also, Mickey didn’t request these people to form a STAR COMMITTEE . HE DOES NOT KNOW THEM!!

 2) uniquelyrourke is in NO FUCKIN’WAY - affiliated with these dinks. If they are in anyway insinuating we are - Heather and I, hope that folks who visit the site - will let us know.

 3) After informing the folks who did sign or were about to sign this petition - what the truth was Holy Shit!! Were they pissed. One person said. I should have known better!!

 4) If you have signed the petition - it means nothing. Mickey isn’t going to see it. Neither will the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce - they will not accept phone calls or petitions - when it comes to deciding - who will land a star on the Walk of Fame. Here’s another lie they have told people - it takes 5,000 signatures for Mickey to be selected. There is  ABSOLUTELY no truth to this. That’s not how it comes down!!

5) I was sent a pic of a building that has a sign in front of it saying - The Head Quarters of .. And  all their names and titles are listed on the sign. HELLO!!! It’s called photoshop!! They are notorious for doing this shit. Mickey is NOT paying for the building in the photo.  DUH!! All the folks listed on the sign are from different parts of the USA & the world.: North Carolina, South Carolina, Australia, Canada ..etc.. etc..  buahahahahahaha!  WTF!!! No one  from this site - has any business dealings with Rourke. NONE!!!. And if they are telling you they do - they are lying sacks of shit. ..

 6) If you want to know what website we are talking about - drop us an email Like I said earlier, I won’t mention the website’s name on uniquelyrourke. Not because I have a problem with it, cuz, I’ve done it before - many times. I’m just not going to give them anymore coverage - than I have to..

 The End!!!
 YAY!!!

In 5 Minutes, I’m Going Out To Smoke A Cig With Mickey.....
April 11th, 08'

 Word has gotten back to us that there are a few - twatmongin’, cocksucking, mutha fucking ass wipes running their contaminated yaps, claiming they know for a fact that Heather didn’t visit  Mickey on the set of The Wrestler over the weekend of March 14th & 15th in Dover, New Jersey. To top it off these lamebrains dare to say that the pic of Mickey & Heather has been altered via Photoshop. All I have to say about the recent rash of accusations is...

Holy Toledo Leatha!!! We’ve been.....BUSTED!!!! Yep. Heather and I are very BAD BAD girls. Whadda  fuckin’ drag. Now I gotta come clean about what went down & why we would do such a terrible thing. Here I go...

 In our attempt to be immortalized as the most popular & all knowing Rourke Chicks on the internet, Heather and I conjured up an elaborate & fictitious story about meeting Mickey. Once our juices got flowing we hammered out a well thought out plan (at least that is what we thought) surrounding a lil’ weekend jaunt she’d take to Dover, New Jersey that would coincide with the filming of The Wrestler. Phew!! ( Heather here..OMFG Steph, I need a shovel coz the shit is getting deeper and deeper in here..pahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!) Even though we knew it was wrong we continued with the most important part of our faux Rourke meeting.... we needed a photo of Mickey on the set of The Wrestler. It was no easy task to find a photo - we looked over hundreds. But finally, our perseverance paid off and we found what we needed. Heather had no problem inserting a pic of herself standing right next to Mickey...how she worked her magic - I will never know. The blending of both photo’s was a perfect match.   ;P
As the days passed our crazed convoluted zest to be the best Mickey Rourke site on the web sent us into a tailspin...Heather and I walked a fine line between reality and tuna fantasy. Our rationale was one that millions of people use everyday - it’s the internet- we can do whateva the fuck we want. The best way to describe the rush we felt is to liken it to a drug that give’s you the ultimate buzz without getting the munchies..Woohoo!! Man, O’ man we were riding the wave of the Rourke haze... Rourke trance or whateva the fuck it’s called. It was fuckin groovy. Shit, we were so fucked up - I wanted Heather to change our site name to uniquelyrourke : The Official Site Of The Totally Awesome  Mickey Rourke. Lordy, lordy, lordy, we were soooo  livin’ in the “Rourke moment “ that we didn’t give a fuck about the consequences of our prevarications, such as not giving  a rats ass about the support/respect/friendship we have come to treasure from Mickey’s close friends nor the backlash and loss of site visitors.

If you believe the load of BULLSHIT  I just laid on ya.. then my middle name is tuna... buhahahahahaha!!! It’s A JOKE.. My middle name ain’t sure aint stinkin’ tuna!!! (lol)

Heather’s experience with Mickey Rourke is NOT A HOAX. Nor did we make up this story to give us credibility or boost our hits on the web site. We’ve never cared about that kinda shit. When folks come to our site they know what we have to say is up in your face and they will get the most accurate information we can get our hands on. Furthermore, we have never needed to lie or superimpose our faces on a photo with Mickey Rourke to promote uniquelyrourke. We aren’t losers or celebrity wannabe’s. Heather and I are both secure with who we are as women. Can you believe it? Two women who actually dig who they are. Wow!! Who knew that was possible in today’s day & age. : )

 Heather and I are still in awe over the fact that so many peeps sent this info to us, then had the nerve to ask - Is it true?? HELLO!!  As if we’d shit all over our own site and damage our reputation. What the fuck!!! We would never throw away 3 years of hard work, long hours and the cool folks who have believed in us every step of the way. Let’s hope these rumor whore’s get their heads out there ass’s long enough to breathe in some fresh air and replenish enough of the ole’ brain cells to process what I’m about to say : Wait til you read Heather’s write up on her experience chillin’ with Mickey and all the photo’s she took with the folks involved with the making of The Wrestler. Then call her and I liars. I DARE YOU... No! Wait!! I double dog-dare you!!! Now stick that up your ass and blow hard... haha!!

 Do yourselves a favor, read the GOODS  below. It’ll get you ready for, what I call Heather’s Rourke Odyssey, which will be posted in the next few days.

 

I Reckon The Best Place To Start Is At The Beginning

 Planning Heather’s trip to New Jersey was done rather quickly. Within a week she had booked the airline, hotel and car rental for Thursday March 13th.  My chica didn’t fuck around, she was on a mission. Next up was getting in contact with Mickey.

It started with our friend Ricochet (she runs Michael Madsen’s Official Site). She contacted our mutual friend, Melissa Prophet, who happens to be Mickey’s long time friend and let her know that Heather was heading to Jersey. Melissa is a one of a kind woman, a total fuckin’ pistol and a hoot to boot.
Anywho, Melissa sent a message our way saying, I hear you 2 girls are going to New Jersey to see Mickey. Heather told Melissa I wasn’t makin’ the trip cuz I was still sick with the flu and I also had family obligations that couldn’t be changed in a moments notice. All I can say is - NEXT TIME!!! Here’s a lil’ FYI - Don’t try and pull a fast one on this lady. She’s been schmoozing and working the Hollywood game a long time. This chica has girl balls the size of Mickey’s fists and we all know that man has got some big mitts.

Did I mention Melissa Prophet is persistent as hell? To ensure Heather wasn’t just standing round with her tits in her hand when she went to the filming in Dover, she made sure to call Mickey several times beginning on the Wednesday before she left. Now that I think about it... Up until the ROH (Ring Of Honor) show that Friday and the audience with Pope Mickey on Saturday - she was working her Prophet Mojo.   (btw) the statement I just made is not reflective of Micky’s role in the flick The Pope Of Greenwich Village. Like I would do that... NOT!!!

After all the back and forth messaging to us and the calls to Mickey, Melissa finally told Heather everything was set up. All she needed to do was tell Mickey’s bodyguard “you are Heather from uniquelyrourke and Mickey is expecting you.” Like I’ve said before  getting an audience with the Pope is waaaay easier than getting an audience with Mickey. Melissa gave Heather one last message “You are going to love that Irish man”!!
Where was I?? Oh Yeah..DUH!!! Heather and I couldn’t believe how quickly and smoothly things were going down. Ooh, I take that back. There was a lil’ matter that concerned Heather a bit : Finding her way outta Newark Airport. (lol) I tried calming her down by saying, fuck the airport, it’s  the traffic ya gotta worry about. I hate traveling the Jersey Turnpike. WTF!! Everyone is in such a hurry.. : )

There ya have it. A bit of the who and the what that went down on Heather’s Rourke Odyssey. LOL!!!

 Hold up. I’m not finished yet. There’s a lot of whacked out shit that has been floating round the Rourke sites. Let’s get started coz I’m getting tired of writing and typing. Let me get this shit over with ....Hehehehe!!!

 1) Were there Mickey Rourke t-shirts being sold at the ROH (Ring Of Honor) event?
When I asked Heather that question, she was like What the fuck! I only saw 1 table set up and there was nothing Rourke related on it. All she noticed was ROH  t-shirts, dvds, magazines and other shit related to ROH.  I then explained to Heather that what she saw made sense. If you know anything about wrestling, the wrestlers biggest money maker is their merchandise. It’s their bread and butter.

Sure, they do make money from the matches, but unless you’re a wrestler with a name like John Cena, Bastista, Triple H, Sting, Kurt Angle or Steve Austin, who happen to work for HUGE wrestling corporations like WWE or TNA, you aren’t making the same cash as the wrestlers I just rattled off. Normally, wrestler’s get paid in the ring, according to a percentage of how many peeps attend the matches. When your on the independent circuit your paydays aren’t that big. Shit, even the big names don’t like you fuckin’ with their merchandise. They too get quite a bit of moolah off of selling shit with their name on it. ROH is a small independent outfit on the wrestling circuit. I just can’t see Aronofsky or Rourke stipulating to ROH they need to set up some kind of vending to sell t-shirts of Mickey Rourke. Besides, when has Mickey Rourke ever sold a t-shirt of himself for a profit, with exception of maybe selling merchandise for the business venture’s he owned from back in the day. I don’t recall his face being on any of the products, only logo’s.

2) Were there t-shirts representing the movie, The Wrestler?
 The answer to that question is YES. There were and Heather is going tell you how folks in the audience on the 2 nights she was there got one. Oh yeah, by the way, they were FREE!!!!!
“Between matches or when filming took too long, a guy would go into the ring or go around the outside of the ring and throw out t-shirts into the crowd.” Heather being Heather, asked a crew member why they did this and he told her it was because they wanted to keep the momentum of the crowd going.     Below you will find the t-shirt tossed to Heather. Yep, it’s mine. She was going to surprise me with it, but since we had the question about the t-shirt she had to give it up before she mailed it to me. CHECK THE PIC BELOW

3 ) One of the Rourke message board owners and moderator’s of a Rourke fourm has been promoting a lot of shit about Mickey’s attitude on the set over the last few weeks. It was brought to my attention that someone (on her message board) had the fuckin’ nerve to say oh, I’ve heard a lot of bad stuff about Mickey and his attitude on the set. Mind you, these people have been flipping back and forth since filming started on the The Wrestler. One minute he’s great - next minute - she has a source that say’s Mickey’s got an attitude on the set.  Anyway, this person ended it by saying, I’ll write you (the message board owner) in private about it.  As ya’ll know if that had been me, I would have been - either you say it for everyone to hear or don’t say shit at all. Now you see why Heather and I lay it all on the line. No secrets here.

Heather’s response to this fucked up BULLSHIT is this - The whole time I kicked it over the weekend with the cast and crew, which was 2 nights, nobody had 1 BAD thing to say about Mickey. He was a nice, did his job and was hard-working. She also interjected that the crew nor the cast, with the exception of Mickey, The Ayatollah and his bodyguard, knew she was there representing uniquelyrourke. Therefore there was no  pressure to blow smoke up my ass.”

Another post that was sent to me was really FUCKED!! It was by the same Rourke message board owner, who claims she had a source on the set of The Wrestler. This alleged source was a person who was taking care of Mickey’s hair. She posted that (her source) stated that Mickey’s hair was a mess and that it was hard to work with. Rourke news must have been slow that day - HIS HAIR!!! HaHaHa… Now you see why I find this fucked and why, along with the queen, I call these women TUNA’S . Who give’s a flying fuck about his hair. So what!! You hate the extensions? Who the fuck do you think you are? You really do live in a fantasy world. I can’t even believe we gotta go there, but since the tuna’s can’t distinguish between Mickey the man and Mickey the actor, I guess we's got to do some rectifying...but before I do that I want to address this issue further. Ok, tuna’s, I know you are reading this so, let me ask you does publicly chastising Mickey get you off? You have run your rude mouths off about his clothes, the way he talks, the women he dates, blah blah, blah. It’s so easy for you tuna’s to point your finger at Mickey.  Pffft!! Hmm, tuna maybe I should comment on your hair?? For instance, is it a weave or did you stick your finger in an electrical socket? Oooh, I know. Maybe’s it’s a bad home perm gone awry. Hahaha! Yeah, I’m a bitch so what??? My philosophy is this, if you’re going to dish it out you better be able to take it. She should have kept her fuckin’ pie hole shut instead of trying in vain to be something that she is not.

You bet, Heather had something to say about the negative remarks the tuna’s made about Mickey’s appearance.

“His hair looked good, felt good and smelled good. Tell her ’I said to “fuck off’. She wasn’t up close and personal with Mickey. I hope the tuna is lying about the hair person’s negative comments about Rourke’s appearance, cuz if she is lying, which I think she is, tuna is endangering someone’s career. This person had to have worked very hard to get where she is at. I met the set hair stylists and they were all really nice and I can’t imagine something like that coming outta any of their mouths. After all this time, the tuna’s still don’t get the impact of who comes to our site. Tuna have you ever heard the word ‘Lawsuit’ - you better pray to God you got the proof, because on a movie set  the atmosphere is one of being united and a family. Besides when the movie comes out Mickey’s hair care persons name will be listed in the credits and everyone will know who she is, and people in the know don’t forget things like this so fast.”
I would also like to interject, that Heather didn’t just spend a couple of hours on the set each night. She had been texting & calling me the whole time. On the first night
(Friday), she was texting me until the wee early hours of the Saturday morning. Leatha’ didn’t get back to her hotel room until 4am. Yep. She woke me up. Hahahaha!!! Saturday was similar.

 More Heather Leatha’ tidbits and observations : From The Set Of The Wrestler.....

This next diddy will further confirm that there were no complaints about Mickey’s attitude.
"On Friday night/Saturday morning, I (Heather) stood shoulder to shoulder with director Darren Aronofsky, therefore, I was able to hear the private conversation that was going on between him and his assistant. In the mist of all the yappin' goin' on, he had nothing but good comments about Mickey and his work.” Another indication of how kickin’ things went down was what occurred when the film wrapped on Saturday evening. “Aronofsky got into the ring with Mickey and gave a short yet heartfelt speech. He and Mickey had their arms around each other in a brotherly fashion. You could tell these two men had a lot of mutual respect for one another. It wasn’t stuffy or fake. It was the real deal!!!”
Heather also conveyed to me that even though she was sitting next to Mickey and chatting it up, when it came to directing his attention to his work he was the consummate professional, all business no bullshit. While sitting with Mickey, he ran his lines and re-worked a speech he gave in the ring. Ooh, I lay dollar to nothing he gave it that Rourke Spin.
Leatha’ said to me “It was bangin’ to be able to sit next to Mickey and watch him do his thang. He definitely needs to direct another movie. Hint. Hint. Maybe I can be an extra in that movie too. buhahahaha!!!
Seriously though, he has such a great eye for detail and the gift of words. That fella' has got chops. There was an incident that went down. I won’t get into details cuz it was a private moment. However, I will tell you that I got to witness with my own eyes & ears, the legendary Rourke ‘Take No Prisoners Attitude”. What do I mean by that? I watched Mickey stand up for what he believed. Just hearing him raise his voice and get that look on his face made me go ‘HOLY SHIT!’ The COOL part of this whole thang was he made his point without moving from the spot he was in, which was right next to me. I wasn’t frightened nor did I feel the need to duck under the stairs we were sittin’ on..(lol) It wasn’t like he was gonna throw down or anything. He was merely making sure that folks understood where he was going with his logic. Mickey is a smart guy. The dude has been around the block a few times. He knows what he’s doing. So, for all you peeps out there spreading Rourke hate and furthering negative misconceptions about Rourke’s attitude on the set. You can kiss my fuckin’ ass!! I was there, not you! hahahaha!!! Am I rubbing it in? Damn straight I am.. LOL!!!”

While sitting around shooting the shit, Heather and Mickey’s convo. strayed off in many directions, with twists and turns that you’d need a GPS to follow. In a flash they were talking about the Green Bay Packers, then the convo would take a sharp turn to the left and they’d be talking about why Heather’s bedroom window had been shot out. She explained to Mickey she lives in da' hood and there really was no rhyme or reason as to why it happened. There's always shots ringin' out up on tha' block. Then there was another shift in there blab session cuz these 2 had a case of conversation A.D.D. Anywho Heather mentioned Michael Madsen’s name. Mickey had some really nice shit to say about Madsen. He asked Heather how she knew Madsen and she explained that she didn’t know him personally but knows the chick who runs his official site.

He then proceeded to ask Heather “what is he up to and was he working?” Heather told him, “Madsen was doing good and yes, he is working. He has a new movie coming out in a few weeks called Vice.” Mickey then said “ He was happy he was working.” “He really likes him” Heather stated she would give the message to the chick that runs his webby and she can pass it along to him. When Heather got home, she did send an email to her along with another message that Mickey asked her to send. And NO!! I won’t provide any info on the 2nd message. That was private. ; P

I don’t even know how to lead into this next antidote. All I gots to say is hang tight - cuz I’m jumping in feet first. Pay close attention, I will be adding a 3rd party (unknown name) to Mickey and Heather’s yap feast. Fuck, I’m calling Heather ..... Ok, she’s on the phone.. Explain.. I will type...

“There was a guy standing nearby while Mickey and I were lighting one up ( I’m talking bout a cig) this guy busted out “how bout Buffalo 66"? Mickey and I, kinda looked at each other then looked at him, like huh?? Who are you and where the fuck did you come from??  It was such a weird random remark that came out of nowhere. Mickey let it roll off him and offered up his 2 cents “Gallo is smart and a helluva guy.” After Mickey put in his 2 cents, I couldn’t let it go. I had some kind of surreal brain fart and I exclaimed “I saw him (Gallo) on some late night tv commercial for vodka or something. I can’t remember which vodka. It was one of those late, late nights, ya know - you have all the lights off, it’s like 3 o’clock in the morning and you can’t fuckin’ sleep. Then that no-name guy goes, “oh yeah, it’s 3am it’s raining outside .. At that moment I busted out laughing cuz what we were talking about was so fucked up. It was sooo fuckin’ abstract - like hit you outta of left field.  I was totally confused. Anywaaaaay, Mickey said some more things, unfortunately, I can’t tell ya.. But it was all very flattering towards Gallo.Then the guy disappeared. Talk about some whacked out shit."

Heather, I too have seen this commercial. If you had bothered to call me - I would have informed you that the vodka that Gallo was hocking was the one and only ‘Belvedere’ then I could have been the 4th person (with a name)  in the conversation. (ha ha Stephy, yuh I can see it now, hey hold on I'll call Stephy, she knows the name of that damn vodka...pahahaha)

***Ray check your email soon***

Momma Mia, I need to end this train wreck. For fuck’s sake. Just think - Heather has a shit ton more to tell.The good thing is, she won’t be dealing with all the fucked up bullshit that is being spewed by others.

The title of this evening’s Flipside - is the text message Heather sent to me just prior to her meeting with Mickey. Stick a fork in me — I’m sooooo done. Heather I pass the torch to you... Get on the stick chica! (Heather here- quality takes a little time antsy pants. With my basement fukin’ flooded it’s been days of rippin' out carpet and bleaching everything. I can’t smell anything but bleach anymore, my hands are a lovely shade I call Clorox white, my puter desk is set up on old plastic milk crates…ack! It’s comin’ soon though. 1 more thang to hammer out and it will be up!)


Ciao,
Steph
