Until further notice there will be no
updates or significant changes to
uniquelyrourke. Heather and I have to
re-evaluate the direction we want to take in
regards to the website. There is a “hot
mess” going on behind the scenes which
Heather and I want no part of. It’s not
worth it. Let me state, that we were not
asked by Mickey or his camp to take a break
- the decision was ours and ours alone.
Truth be told, Mickey and his fella’s don’t
give a rat’s ass about what we do, they
trust us to do the right thing!
uniquelyrourke is copyrighted. Meaning all
original material & the name belongs to
Heather and myself.
Please remember Mickey is not on FaceBook,
Twitter, Myspace or Imdb. Any questions
about the petition circulating the internet
pertaining to :: A Star For Mickey Rourke -
Please read the FlipSide.
Mickey is not in the process of getting
married. If he ever does decide to get
married - you’ll hear it first from his own
mouth.
Before I wrap this up, Heather and I want,
to THANK all the fans who have supported us
through all the bullshit we’ve endured.
This may sound like GOOD-BYE but, we just
aren’t sure.
Take Care
Ciao,
Stephanie & Heather
Brrrr! Freezing My Ass Off!!! January
3rd, 10'
Fuckin’ A - it’s cold as HELL here in
O-town….Sunshine state my ass!! (try livin'
here in Wi. Steph...the pig is kickin' hard
at -16 degrees!)
Hope everyone had a kickin’ safe New
Year’s. Heather has finally recuperated from
her balls out frozen tundra - bar hopping
from trashy bar to trashy bar, bar crawl. I
stayed home and I had a couple - Okay - a
few glasses of wine.. Next year will be a
different story.
Many site visitors have been asking where the HELL Heather and I have
been.. If the truth be know.. We have been
hangin’ in Monte Carlo - laying on the
beach, drinkin’ fruity alcoholic beverages,
gambling away all our money and bangin’ lots
and lots of MEN. Haha!!
Yeah, right. Where we’ve been isn’t all that exciting. Let’s see: Oct 12th
- I had some shit done to my knee - ALC was
reconstructed - a torn meniscus was repaired
and some other stuff, been in Physical
Therapy for weeks and that kicks my ass. Not
to mention, I was forbidden by my doctor to
sit at a computer among other things.
Honestly, I didn’t want to - I had a brace
on from my upper thigh - all the way down to
my ankle. In a nutshell, it kicked my ass.
Oh, let me not forget all the deaths in my
family and one as recent as 3 days before
Christmas
As for Heather, she battled the H1N1 virus. Poor girl was so sick - she
couldn't even talk to me. When she felt up
to it, she would text me. Heather was also
affected by death. Someone she was very
close to and loved dearly - died. It took her
weeks before she could wrap her brain around
it. It was a surreal time in her life.
Alrighty, I’ve answered the “where the
hell have you ladies been question” and
bored the living fuck outta ya’s - Let’s
move on.
Look for major changes to uniquelyrourke in
the near future!
Twitter
me this… Twitter me that… Ooh lala check out
our Twitter button @ the top
of the Skinny page. You know you wanna push
it.. Push it good!!
They’re Back At It! Mickey
Rourke is not ONLINE! Nor is he on
Face book, Myspace or Twitter. He’s not
spending hours on the computer talking to
fans and telling em’ how much he loves em’
or listening to fans problems and trying to
help. REAL ROURKE fans know this is
bullshit!
Donna from Vermont: Grab a life.. I’m sure
one is waiting for you, get out from behind the
computer and stop talking to phony Mickey
Rourke’s.
Let’s
all focus on the positive… 2010 = Another
good year for Rourke!!!!
Movie
News Production
of the Mickey Rourke-Megan Fox
"Passion Plays" now underway
in Santa Fe, N.M., casting forces have been
rounding out the roster of subsidiary
characters -- thugs and junkies. This is the
odd tale of an angel and redemption that has
the gorgeous Fox playing a "freak with
huge white wings growing out of her back"
as casting notices put it. Rourke's
down-and-out character initially plans to
make the most of this creature he finds in
the desert, but of course, things get much
more complicated.

No word yet on when and where the Iron Man 2
premiere will be held. Hang tight!
Holy
Shit! It’s Been A Year!!
Mickey will be a presenter at this year’s Golden Globes, January 17th
2010, on NBC at 8pm. Check your local
listings for times in your area. For more

very seriously that my usage of the words

Finally Authentic Autographs Here is
the low down that was sent to us by Joe.
Film Star Mickey Rourke has recently signed
an exclusive autograph agreement with
Celebrity Authentics for a signing to take
place no later than the end of January,
2010. This will be the first signing for
Mickey whose 25+ year career includes the
recent 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best
Actor (The Wrestler). Items will include
photos from several of Rourke's work
including the upcoming Iron Man 2
(co-starring Robert Downey Jr.), The
Wrestler, 9 1/2 Weeks and The Expendables
(co-starring Sylvester Stallone and Jason
Statham).
We were advised by his representative that
almost every autograph of 'Mickey Rourke'
being offered on the internet, including
those certified by 3rd party authenticators,
were forgeries and were asked to announce to
all of his fans that "this will be the
ONLY signing where you will be 100%
guaranteed to receive his genuine autograph".
You may request a personalization (up to
four words) from Mickey (ie: "To Tom, Best
Wishes") at no additional charge. All
personalization requests are subject to
actor's time and discretion. For complete
details please visit
CelebrityAuthentics.com.
I want to add - this was a business decision
made by Mickey Rourke. Heather nor myself
have any dealings with Mickey’s business. So
please don’t send us any scripts, requests
for photo’s, interviews or his phone number.
We are just 2 chicks that run his website.
Besides, we’d never give that shit out to
anyone….That’s how it rolls - over here at
uniquelyrourke.
Shout-Out I’ve been
getting a lot of mail over the last several
moths about wrestling and The Wrestler.
I wont’ be getting into all that here on the
Skinny. These topics will be addressed at a
later date. As I have mentioned many times
on the Skinny - I’m a huge TNA
wrestling fan. Yep, I know Mickey
kicked it with the WWE -WrestleMania 25 last
year, which is cool.. However, I also was
honest about my not watching WWE and never
dogged out the WWE. It’s called showing
respect….
Anywho, where was I … Oh yeah…
Bored
with PG-13 TV then make a statement with
your remote and “Cross the line”. (Thanks

HAPPY NEW YEAR’S !!!!!
December 31st, 09'
Okay, don’t be too pissed about the lack
of info on tonight’s Skinny. I know WE are
on a lot of folks shit list, due to the fact
the website hasn’t been updated. I’ll get to
all that tomorrow. (will that work for you,
Ms Leatha?) Whoa is me, I’m not going out
tonight - I’m still recuperating from
surgery, however, our very own Heather will
be making the rounds at her local trashy
bars. (I’m so jealous)
Here’s a lil’ something sent to us by
Helen. Her husband Bruce R. was an assistant
to Mickey - for 10 years -during the early
part of his career. Hopefully Helen will be
sharing more photos with us in the near
future...

What's Shakin' December
16th, 09'
Hola!!! I'm back! Although, to some that
might not be a good thing. Whoa, I've been
gone a long time. All I can say is
reconstructive knee surgery is a MUTHA!
FUCKA!! :) What? Did some of you out there
really think I was gonna change who I am -
so it would suit your needs. HELLO!!! WTF
have you done for me lately, besides bitchin'
at me about my language and running your
fuckin' pie holes on message boards.. Woooo!!!
Get a life and remember - I'm an adult -
I'll say what I what - however the HELL I
want. You don't pay my fuckin' bills!!!
Pffft! For fuck's sake - that felt good!
Here
What I'm Screaming All I'm gonna
say is: Mickey isn't getting married and we
don't post tabloid rumors. If Mickey
were to get married, he'd be the first to
tell ya'll about it coz as any real Rourke
fan knows...that's the way Mickey rolls!!!
It's Official Check out the
new trailer for Iron Man 2.
This flick is gonna do some major rockin' & rollin'
in 2010. Mickey is looking too bad ass for
words.
Heather ~ You better not be getting sick...
HELLO! Christmas with me here in O-Town....
I will-a-cry - if a you don't show up!!!
First Hunny Pot issues and now you're on the
verge of some icky ass sickness! (Steph...the
Hunny Pot is fabby, except that dark bushy
spot. Look for it coming to a town near you.
As for me being sick, this funk has been
ridiculous! Nyquil and Dayquil has been my BFF's as of late and that isn't helping much.
I've got a burr under my saddle about us
laying on the beach in Florida soaking up
the sunshine looking at banana
hammocks...especially since it's a beautiful
balmy 3 degrees here and the pig keeps
kickin'.)
That's it for now. I'll be writing up
another SKINNY in the next couple of days.
Holy Shit.. Hells Bells.. and WTF!!! I got a
lot of pimpin' out to catch up on... I'll
also be testing out my new puter skills ..
I'll tell ya more later......
Until then....
Ciao,

A Little Fur For Ya… November
10th, 09'
Mickey is
the proud poppa of a new 4 legged friend, a
Pomeranian. These lil’ fur babies have
always reminded me of cotton balls, not in a
mean way, but they are just so soft and
poofy looking. Without a doubt, the lil’
stinker will bring a smile to his face. Big
or small, Mickey loves em’ all.
Not familiar with Pomeranians? According to
the AKC (American Kennel Club) the
Pomeranian is outgoing, very intelligent,
and loves to please. They do require a lot
of attention from their "people" (I don't
foresee that as being problematic with
Mickey....lol) and come in all colors,
patterns and variations. I do imagine Mickey
and his dog groomer will be on a 1st name
basis, with the thick double coats those
dogs have!
Ta-ta,
Heather
Wednesday Night is Party Night? November
5th, 09'
Mickey
was kickin’ it up at the newly opened
Wonderland Lounge in Hollywood, (la-la land
that is), last night. Curious as to the vibe
of the club? A sources cites the club as
“enormous, with couches acting as dividers
complete with a rose garden. ( The only
garden I ever see in a bar is the Bloody
Mary salad bar…heehee) The drinks have
Alice-esque names (get it Alice In
Wonderland?) and come equipped with playing
cards. It also has a retractable roof, and
the bar itself is a masterpiece”. Thanks
Lenny, you are the man!
Thanks to
all of you who sent well wishes to Stephy,
she appreciates them a lot! I read them to
her on the phone since she still is unable
to sit at her computer.
Ta-ta my
pretty pets,
Heather
GQ Man Of The Year
October 28th,
09'
Hey,
hey, hey it's no surprise to me but British
GQ named Mickey it's International Man
Of The Year! Is that like being a
international man of mystery? LOL...What can
I say, it's late and I'm beat. I've been up
to my elbows in pumpkin guts all week in
preparation for my favorite holiday. I gotta
thank site visitor Lori for sending me the
rockin' pictures below.
pumpkin guts are good for your skin it
seems....
Heather
It’s Me
Again…
October 22nd,
09'
Surprise!
It’s Heather, not Steph on this dreary, wet
day in cheese land. Where’s Steph you ask?
She’s literally laid up just having
undergone reconstructive knee surgery. Those
of you who know us, already know this, but
she asked me to write a lil’ thang
explaining where the hell shes been for
those of ya who don’t know. Her knee was a
hot mess of fucked up shit, so for now,
Steph is couch surfing. I don’t envy her 1
iota..eek!
When
The Weather Outside Is Frightful
If your stuck in the same boat as me….that boat being Fall setting in.
Cold days, colder nights, rain, rain,
drizzle, sleet, being cooped up in the house
reminiscing about those sizzling summer
nights. Here’s an idea for ya….. pick up the
book The Ice Man: Confessions Of A
Mafia Contract Killer by Philip
Carlo. I read the book a few years ago while
I worked the night shift…..lets just say
there is a reason I always sleep with a
baseball bat next to my bed. I’ve been
re-reading it during the day, but since I
recently moved to the boonies, I don’t read
it at night. It will scare the livin’ shit
outta ya, and that is why the .22 is always
next to the baseball bat (wink, wink). I
love the book even though it’s frightening;
needless to say I was ecstatic when Steph
and I learned that it was true that Mickey
bought the rights to the book. Richard
Kuklinski was 1 cold ass mother fucker!
But I think he had a lot of love in him too
weirdly enough. To me it shows how parents
can really fuck up their kids if they aren’t
careful. So all you parents out there, give
your ankle biters a hug, and mean it! Kids
aren’t stupid, not by a long shot.
Look for
Guest Book updates and a new Blog real soon.
(yep, I’m backed up on the Guest Book again,
story of my life lately..lol. Keep em’ comin’
though, each one reminds me why I burn the
candle at both ends and sift thru mountains
of email…they rock!)
I also want
to thank everyone for their continued
support of Mickey, and us here at
uniquelyrourke. We appreciate it!
Anyway…that’s my lil’ update for now…..
Ta-ta
Heather
It’s
True!
September 28th,
09’
Heather and
I have confirmed Mickey will be
starring in The Ice Man based
on Philip Carlos 2006 book. This is directly
from “the powers that be”, Mickey
purchased the rights to the book. Rourke
will play real life assassin Richard
Kublinski.
Many of you have written telling us about this movie. We have known about
it for quite a while now, but hadn’t
received confirmation – we only got the
goods – an hour ago.
Heather read the book and said it was kick ass, unbelievable. …..more to
come later.
The Fans
Asked For It And It Was The Fans Who Killed
It.
You know who
you are, so stop bothering us about the
Rourke RoundTable. We aren’t going to reopen
it. Honestly, Heather, LaShane and myself
watched and laughed as you self destructed.
Ya’ll so called Rourke fans – should be so
proud to have spoiled it for everyone else,
now you can stick to the unreliable, tuna
infested IMDB boards and leave us the FUCK
alone. Closing the group was the best thing
that ever happened, one less pain in the
ass!

Exclusive: A Rourke Encounter
July 17th,
09'
Hi Steph,
Had to let
you see this and it's all thanks to
uniquelyrourke.
Soon as
you posted the info that Mickey was going to
be on the Allan Carr show, I
knew I had to get down there and try and say
hi. Tickets for the show were all gone ‑
given away weeks ago, but like all tv
studios the guests have gotta get in and
out. A couple of nice security guards later
and it was pretty easy to see where Mickey's
car would enter. After over three hours
stood in the rain, Mickey arrives. Now it's
important to note here that he was due at
6.45 and filming began at 7pm. It's now
7.45pm and Mickey is seriously late.
However, he spotted me and opened his door.
"We gotta make this quick", he says,
as I hand him a photo to sign. "Can you sign
to Nic", I ask. "Sure, brother. I opened
the door 'cos I could see how wet you were".
I am soaked through.
"And a photo?" "No problem" and he
gestures for me to sit just in the car.
"You wanna picture of my old man?" he
says jokingly indicating the guy next to
him. "He's not my father really, but he's
better than the real one" he laughs. Two
photos later, a firm handshake and Mickey's
whisked through the studio gates to film the
show. I tell the story for one reason ‑ the
man's back at the top of his game, he's late
for an important tv appearance and it's
really clear his team want him into the
studio fast, but he makes a point to tell
them to stop, he makes a point to notice his
fans and then he obliges with an autograph
and a photo and all the time he's in good
spirits, laughing, joking, smiling and
looking pretty fucking cool. That's the
qualities of a star and that's the qualities
that make Mickey Mickey. The whole encounter
takes less than five minutes, but the
memories last forever.
I'll tell
you what I thought of the show once it airs
on Sunday.
Keep the
faith!
Nic x
Thanks for
thinking of us and sharing your story....

Steph

I
haven’t forgotten about the posers on
the internet masquerading as Mickey.
I’ll have more on the subject in the
next few days....
UK
Television Appearance
Over the last couple of days, there has been talk on Twitter, Facebook,
Myspace blah blah about Mickey appearing
on The Alan Carr Show,
Sunday, July 19th (Channel 4)
. When I went to the Channel 4 website,
they had the word rumor attached
to Mickey’s name as a guest. As you
should know by now, I don’t play
the rumor game. I want a sure thing
before I post it on the Skinny. Anywho,
we contacted JP (the man in the know)
and he CONFIRMED Mickey will be on the
show (Thanks JP!)So to our UK friends, let me know
how the show went down.... I will post
on the Skinny. (Thanks C Boy)
Fan Contributions Our UK buddy Nic sent me this lil’
diddy pertaining to The
Expendables, he also scanned a
photo for us too....
“In the UK issue of EMPIRE is the attached image. I've scanned it in as I
can't find it anywhere online, I think
it's a magazine exclusive - according to
the accompanying article, Mickey's
character is responsible for giving the
guys their missions whilst working
incognito as a tattooist. His character
is responsible for the iconic skill and
raven tattoo that features on the
posters and is inked onto Sly's back
during the film. The article also says
Mickey provided his own costume for the
film. Clearly from the hair, he shot his
bit in a gap from "Iron Man 2".
In the
same issue there's an interview with Eva Green who confirms she's
signed to play opposite Mickey in the "Mona
Lisa" remake, so that's
definitely confirmation that it's about
to start filming too.
Hold up
there is more.. Nic also sent a link to
Cup O’ Joe, by columnist
Joe Quesada. In
this article he discusses his visit to
Iron Man 2 and meeting Mickey....
Click It
Here is
another link that will lead ya to a
possible teaser poster for Iron Man 2
.... Hmm, I was expecting something with
a bit more OMPH, but what do I know..
I will freely admit - I have no clue as
to what the Iron Man (1) poster looked like.

Mickey was front row Wednesday in Paris - at
the Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture
fashion show. HELLO!! Does Mickey get
around or what? Of course, the man himself
had a few words to say about the clothes
exhibited at the show, which were
reminiscent of old Hollywood.

the answer is simple... Hmmm,
cough..cough..( Steph makes the sign of
the cross - In the name of The Father,
The Son and The Holy Ghost) .Forgive me
uniquelyrourke site visitors for
I have sinned. It’s been quite a while

penance is to watch (5) Rourke flicks...Angel

In the next Skinny, I will be addressing
the posers claiming to be
Mickey Rourke on Myspace.
Remember folks, Mickey isn’t on
Myspace and there is only 1
Official Website site that is recognized

together “uniquelyrourke”
Not

explain the lowdown....
Mickey
was recently given the “Guy of The Year
Award” at the Spike Guys Choice Awards.
When he won and went up for his
acceptance speech, he gave his award to
the US Military and the troops fighting
in Iraq . We just posted the actual clip
on
Spike.com, so I wanted to pass it along.
The show airs this Sunday 6/21 at 10PM
on Spike.
Thanks!

Okay
folks.. Don’t forget .. Here’s the clip
that was sent our way - Oooooh, aren’t
Heather and I sooooo SPECIAL!!
Buhahahaha!! Just kiddin’!!!
Here’s
Something To Put In Your Pipe And Smoke Here’s
the deal : Director
Tony Scott recently
gave the scoop to
ComingSoon.net on many
of his upcoming film projects - of
course, the one project that caught my
eye wasPotsdamer Platz which is apparently based on a script
from Louis Mello and David Scinto, Scott
added, "We're going to change the title
and make it contemporary. It's not a
little movie, but it's based on a true
story of the Jersey mob and when they
tried to take over the construction
business in Germany." (Potsdamer Platz
is the enormous train station in the
middle of Berlin, for those
unaware.) Scott's next statement was
interesting (and somewhat
undecipherable), as he hinted that
Mickey Rourke may be playing one of the
roles in that movie. "I've got a great
cast with Mickey,
now all of a sudden the film became
bankable because Mickey was always his
own man before last year."And then it
sounded like he said, "I'll use Mickey
in three movies" but after repeated
listening(s), we still couldn't figure out
whether that's what he meant to say.

one more thing I need to pass along...
Here’s
the press release that was sent to
uniquelyrourke by Cinemedia Promotions
-
LAKESHORE RECORDS TO RELEASE ORIGINAL
SCORE FOR THE INFORMERS
Soundtrack Contains Original Score By
Christopher Young (June
8 2009- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore
Records will release the original score
for THE INFORMERS,
available digitally (iTunes and Amazon
Digital) and in stores on June 23, 2009.
Christopher Young (The Uninvited,
Untraceable)composed the
music. The label released the original
soundtrack on April 28th.
Golden
Globe-nominated composer Christopher
Young has scored almost 100 successful
features ranging across virtually every
genre, all with strikingly original
music. Never repeating himself, Young’s
works extend from the spine-tingling
Hellraiser showcasing his seminal
upbringing in horror; to the new-techno
sound of Swordfish and the
resonant, genuine Celtic sounds of
The Shipping News. With each
successive Christopher Young crafted
score, the composer continually
stretches the bounds of his versatility.
Young
has worked with some of the top
filmmakers of the past ten years
including Norman Jewison (The
Hurricane and Bandits), Sam
Raimi (The Gift, Spiderman 3,
The Grudge and The Grudge 2)
and Curtis Hanson (Lucky You, Wonder
Boys). In addition to his busy
film-composing schedule, Young is
imparting his experience and knowledge
to a new generation of film composers,
teaching at USC since the early
nineties. He is a two-term past
president of The Film Music Society and
the president of the Madrid Film Music
Festival in Spain.

and American Psycho Brett Easton
Ellis brilliantly dissects contemporary
American society, a culture in which too
much is never enough. Now, adapting his
own acclaimed novel for the screen, he
returns to the Los Angeles of the early
1980's with a multi-strand narrative
that deftly balances a vast array of
characters who represent both the top of
the heap (a Hollywood dream merchant, a
dissolute rock star, an aging
newscaster) and the bottom (a
voyeuristic doorman, an amoral ex-con).
Connecting
all his intertwining strands are the
quintessential Ellis protagonists -- a
group of beautiful, blonde young men and
women who sleep all day and party all
night, doing drugs -- and one another --
with abandon, never realizing that they
are dancing on the edge of a volcano.
Filmed with uncommon glamour and grit by
acclaimed Australian director Gregor
Jordan (Ned Kelly, Buffalo Soldiers),
The Informers is an alternately
blistering and chilling portrait of
hedonism run amuck The film stars Billy
Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey
Rourke, Winona Ryder, Jon Foster and
Amber Heard.
Senator
Entertainment presents THE
INFORMERS released in select
theaters on April 24, 2009. THE
INFORMERS original score album
on Lakeshore Records will be available
via iTunes, Amazon Digital and in stores

RESCUE
INK ...BRINGIN’ THE HAMMER DOWN ON
ABUSERS Joe
Pantz is a friend of ours on
uniquelyrourke’s Myspace page. He
contacted us about a horrible act of
brutality that occurred in Baltimore,
Maryland - against a furbaby named
Mercy. She didn’t make it. But Joe and
friends at Rescue Ink - was not about to
let what was done to this girl go
unnoticed.. So, they hopped on their
bikes and rode from NYC to Baltimore...
in search of the culprits... click the
links and learn more.. Support these
folks.. they are fighting for those who
don’t have a voice!!! Show em’ why
Rourke Fans ROCK!!!
Here is
a poem written in honor and in
remembrance of Mercy by Judith Torrieri.
Hey kids, listen up, gather round, I
got a story to tell you about ten guys
who rolled into town. Their Harley's
growled as they rolled down the street,
to
catch two bad guys and avenge the dog
they beat. It was a hot and sunny summer
day in June, when all the flowers and
trees are in bloom. Two punks would try to
send Mercy to her doom, but a rough plate
of justice would be served up soon. The
community came together to see justice
through, for a dog named Mercy, who died
one sad afternoon, Rescue Ink rode for 5
hours to Baltimore, for Mercy's sake to
settle the score. Mercy's killers are now
in jail, facing punishment, hopefully
without bail. Just to let you know if you
do the crime, Rescue Ink will make sure
you do the time. Mercy was a sweet and
loving dog that's true, Thank God for
Rescue Ink and all that they do. Mercy can
now rest in peace knowing that these
punks are no longer on the streets.

The Blue Yeah,
I know.. Heather and I get so many kickin’ Guestbook comments.
Only a couple of days ago Betina Wasserman the
designer of the famous Loki pendant
that was worn by Mickey after Loki’s
passing - sent us a comment :
Hi
I'm the artist that made Mickey's
pendant of Loki . Great job on the site
girls. Mickey was kind enough to call me
after he received the pendant. He is a
total gentleman and deserves all the
accolades you give him.
They don't make em' like him anymore. All the best,Betina
In case
ya’ll forgot
- here is the photo, Mickey
had Heather take at his private Oscar
party in February. He was adamant about
this particular photo appearing on
uniquelyrourke for his fans to see..

Pic
of Mickey as Whiplash Whiplash sports a power pack
on his chest that looks similar to the
one used by Iron Man.
"The technologies are definitely
related, and that's part of the core
theme of the film," says Favreau.
The character's alter ego, Ivan Vanko,
is a Russian who, Favreau says, "has
constructed his own version of a suit."
Among the creative alterations: a pair
of whips, powered by the suit's glowing
chest piece. Whiplash "is going to light
them up," says Rourke.

Studio. Hold on.. I’m not finish
dishing the scoop.. I just received an
email from site visitor - Kylie
who was at the taping last night and
wanted to share what went down ..
Hi there;
Just wanted to let you gals know I was
at the live taping of Inside the Actors
Studio in Los Angeles last night
(Tuesday) with guest Mickey Rourke. I
wanted to let all who visit the website
know that Mickey was unbelievably
gracious, sincere, and looked fucking
amazing. He talked about his life and
career and at the end of the taping took
the time to shake people’s
hands and talk with them. I was lucky
enough to meet him for a brief few
seconds; I shook his hand and told him
how awesome I thought his appearance on
the show was. Boy, that man has a firm
handshake! Thanks Kylie... I’m sure
everyone - even the Ass-Munchers -
appreciate the 411

Sorry
folks, The Skinny is rather BLAH this
evening. My week has started off kinda rough
and I’m not feeling all that great.... All I
can say is - I HATE NEEDLES!!!!!
Not
much going on in the world of Rourke.
Did Ya Know...
Mickey is
still filming Iron Man 2, however he did
toss some details by way of Empire:
“I’m
having the time of my life!” the actor
says about what it means to have joined one
of the biggest movie franchises of our time.
“It’s been really brutal, because my Iron
Man suit weighs 23lbs. It’s sort of a
half-suit, with half my skin showing, with
lots of Russian tattoos, because [Whiplash
is just] out of a Russian-zone prison.”
Rourke further explains. As one can imagine,
comic books fans who have been waiting for
details of this kind rather impatiently are
already hard at work trying to envision
Whiplash’s costume.
Let The

Saturday night, May 30th Spike TV

May 27th, 09'
Damn,
Abraham Lincoln was one smart fella!! ;)
Okay,
here’s the latest......
Killshot was released yesterday on dvd/blu-ray Therese,
a member of the Rourke Round Table wrote
up a review for the group. I asked her
if I could post it on The Skinny...
Hi Guys, I saw Killshot last
night...as usual, Mickey was fascinating
and played the part of a Native American
hit man so amazingly! He made the
character such an interesting, human and
multi-faceted individual, yet powerful,
and menacing at the same time. Through
his magic with slight facial movements
and subtle gestures, he conveyed a
complicated man, almost a sympathetic
character, one who was uncompromisingly
dangerous, yet lonely for love and a
real life.
Unlike so many actors, he doesn't just
'play himself' all the time, but rather
really does the character... yet what he
does bring to it of himself is that
smoldering, sensitive edge and those
eyes. And that voice. As usual, when he
was on screen, its like the other
characters melted away and it was always
just him. Apparently this movie was made
about four years ago, from what I had
read and was edited and re-edited over
the years until its a bit choppy and
doesn't transition well in some
parts...one review I read said to wait
for the director's cut, or the uncut,
unedited version to come out by the end
of this year, to see all the parts they
cut to shorten up the film, at which
time it will seem less fragmented.
The only thing I will add is that its
hard to believe that the Mickey hit man
character would take up with this crazy,
psycho kid and bring him along on many
exploits, to the detriment of all
involved. Although, the Mickey character
said that he reminded him of his
deceased little brother, whom he missed
a lot, so maybe that was the reason.
Anyway, it’s a must-see that got mixed
reviews except every review said that MR
did an amazing job, as usual. (has he
ever had a bad review on a performance?
I don't think he ever has, even from his
detractors).
He’s
Ring Side .... Again Mickey was at the
Tuesday night taping of SmackDown
at the Staple Center in Los
Angeles.
Shipla,
a site visitor sent a few details...
This contains
SPOILERS
- If you not familiar with WWE Smack
Down - it’s taped and then shown Friday
night... As I said in the last Skinny,
this thing between Mickey & the
WWE is still going on .....
I
am also a fan of wrestling and
specifically WWE. I was reading the
spoilers for their show SmackDown airing
this Friday on My9 (in NY) and saw that
Mickey will be in the audience and most
likely shown on TV. It might be a
different channel in other areas though,
I'm not sure. Rey Mysterio comes out to
the ring to a loud pop and praises the
fans here in Los Angeles. Talks about
his upcoming No Holds Barred Match with
Chris Jericho and says that not only
will be able to hit the 619 at any time,
he can also hit the 213, the 323, the
310, and the 818 on Jericho as well!
Jericho interrupts Mysterio and
continues to bad-mouth Mysterio and
Mickey Rourke (who was in attendance at
ringside and shown on the titantron).
Jericho goes on to mention how he’s too
much of a professional to not come over
there, hop over that ring barrier and
punch his lights out. Rourke remains
seated with a sly smile and a gesture to
bring it on. Jericho attempts to attack
Mysterio but counters and attempts to
hit the 619 on a prone Jericho but he
escapes out
of the ring and to the back.
HELLO!
I’m sure there is more to this story
but, we’ll have to wait till
SmackDown. I only recently
returned to watching SD. Umm, I’m
crossing my fingers, toes and eyeballs -
that I don’t hear from the WWE due to
the fact I posted this spoiler......
We’ll see...

name Tool and Lauren
Jones is Tool’s girlfriend. The
photos BELONG to Lauren Jones -

the time from your lives to send me a
message.
Rourke
Quickies...
Our friend Nic from the UK sent this to me a few weeks ago.. I wanna give
the dude props for trying to help out
uniquelyrourke with the news. While
this shit if from a few weeks ago,
hence, many of you may have already
learned of these tidbits - there are
still those who are just discovering
Rourke who haven’t a clue therefore it’s
my duty to enlightened them... By the
way, these tidbits are in no particular
order.
Updates
on official website -

- including new pictures
Mickey
filming Iron Man 2 in California
May Mickey gets a bird -
Sunny.
Who the hell knew this was big news. I
say that with no malice. Heather and I
learned of Sunny, weeks ago. It wasn’t
like it was a hush hush sort of thing -
we honestly didn’t think anyone would
care.. Ooops.. we bad!!!
Here
is footage from Beverly Hills - Mickey
with actor Jason Stratham at Cristoni
Pizzeria. As for the ink gracing
Mickey’s buff bod - I’m gonna go on a
limb and say it’s for the movie Iron Man
2 - which he is currently back in town
filming.
Last
week (May 14th & 15th)
Mickey was in New Orleans, Louisiana
(one of my favorite cities to spend time
in) on the set of The Expendables, doing
his thang. Heather and I received word
only yesterday that Mickey did a great
job and is missed on the set. HELLO!!!
Of course he is missed. There is never a
dull fuckin’ moment with Mickey Rourke
around. (Haha)
Mickey
has been tapped for the lead role in the
remake of the 1986 film
Mona Lisa...
Wow, the movie biz is a funny (not haha
funny) Bob Hoskins and Mickey were both
in the film - A Prayer for the Dying
and
back in 86' Hoskins played the lead in Mona Lisa.. Now it’s Mickey’s turn.
On May
15th I checked in with David
Unger (duh, his agent) asking him about
the films - Mona Lisa and “Seven Holes
for Air” a dark western - involving
Mickey and James Gandolfini - that will
be directed by actor Bill Paxton. As
usual David responded right away. At
the time shit was still being ironed
out....This is how behind the times I am
.. HELLO!! Mickey is slated for Mona
Lisa. However, there is still NO news
about Seven Holes for Air.
Concept
Art - Iron Man 2 - Whiplash???? Latino Review posted this picture on
their website. They also stated there
was no way to confirm if this is legit,
however, they thought it was cool —
Private
In The House...
A couple of weeks ago Mickey’s long-time friend Gary Private sent
us photo’s of Mickey, Steve Jones (guitarist for The Sex Pistols)and
himself back in the day.
Here’s a bit of the rundown on Gary -
besides being a friend on
uniquelyrourke since we
first hit the scene, he’s a musician,
actor and knows everyone. (lol) What the
fuck!! Go over and check him out on his
website. Ya know, I was trying to figure
out exactly what I would write
concerning the photos and his friendship
with Mickey, then I remembered he wrote
a kickin’ Guestbook entry that says it
all...
My life
has been long, great, hard, shit, and
I’m still hitting walls, but I would
escape in NYC before I came to LA in '85
and love to watch Mick....His work was
my escape from my day to day demons. STILL IS THANKFULLY!
Then fate was fortunate to let our paths cross, after getting over the
starstruck inside me, I was accepted
with an extremely small group of guys to
hang many, many, many days, nights and
years of laughs, smiles, bad times, good
times, beers etc!
Thats
it..
I love
him!&I miss
Joey too!
Ready
For Some Cardio (Part 2)
When we first started uniquelyrourke - there were 3 of Mickey’s friend’s
who gave their support to us - Joe,
Giuseppe Franco and Chuck Zito. If you
don’t know who the fuck Chuck Zito is
then- you don’t know shit about Mickey
and you need to hit up Chuck’s website
to see who the HELL you are dealing
with. There is no other way to put
this... Chuck is an amazing and giving
person. One day soon, I’ll re-post the
Skinny titled “Are You Ready For Some
Cardio”. It will give you some
insight on what went down with Chuck and
us back in the day. Straight up, he was
the first person to give us a shout out
on his weekly radio show. He shared a
lot of info with us and added to our
getting credibility in the world of Rourke. To this day,
Chuck Zito holds
a special place in our hearts. He
didn’t
treat us like a piece of shit (like
other Mutha Fucka’s in the business) and
showed us respect. He’s an old school
dude. Chuck is totally cool as fuck but
once you step over the line - let’s just
say - you don’t wanna tango with Chuck
Zito... Anywho, the other day Heather
and I went snooping on
Chuck’s website
to see what the hell he’s been up to.
And guess what Heather stumbled upon - a
photo from the movie13 and we learned
he is also in the film. So we wrote
Chuck an email asking for permission to
post the photo on uniquelyrourke & asked
him what was his role in 13... here is
Chuck’s response (yep, I’m gonna share
ha!)
Hey
Heather & Stephanie,
Thanks
for writing, Yes you have my permission
to use the photo. We kidnap Mickey from
a Mexican prison to play the game. What
game? You'll have to see the movie!
Best Wishes,
Chuck
If
you’re wondering about the Cardio
reference - that is the lingo Chuck used
on his radio show when talking about
SEX.. Chuck is da bomb... We also think
he is one bad-ass, fine looking Mo’ Fo’
- he’s GRAVY BABY!! (yum, yum!)
WWE Can you believe it’s been
well over a month and peeps are still
taking about Wrestlemania 25. WTF! It’s
insane. Hells Bells, from what I
understand Mickey’s appearance was like
that of a teenage boy getting laid for
the first time... IN & OUT. Anywho, lots
of site visitors sent me video of the
event - that was not approved by the WWE.
See they take copyright infringement seriously. I didn’t want to deal with
that shit. However, Laurie wrote up a bitchin’ review. Don’t fall over,
Laurie. I bet you didn’t think - your
write-up would see the light of day ...
Mickey
attended the WWE Hall of Fame Induction
Ceremony, which took place on Saturday,
April 4. The cameras flashed on him
twice in the audience-- the first time
when Ricky (the Dragon) Steamboat (who
was being inducted into the HOF) held up
his WWE HOF ring and said "Mickey Rourke,
this is my Oscar." Then the camera
flashed on Mickey. He looked good, had
his hair pulled back, & was wearing a
white tee, a black leather vest over it
and a dark colored jacket over that plus
sunglasses. He has a foo-manchu type
mustache now.
WWE.com
has 3 photos of Mickey on their website
under the category Hall of Fame Photos.
On Sunday, April 5 at
Wrestlemania 25, Mickey appeared in the
Chris Jericho/Legends segment. It was a
huge crowd -- more than 72,000 people.
First, they showed a film that went back
and featured all of the promotional bits
that Mickey & Chris Jericho did & wove
that into bits from the film "The
Wrestler". Then Chris Jericho came out
and got into the ring. After that, the
WWE legends, Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy
Piper, Ricky (the Dragon) Steamboat &
Jimmy (the Superfly) Snuka all appeared
and started walking down the entrance
ramp towards the ring. Ric Flair stopped
to hug Mickey, who was in the front row
by the entrance ramp. Mickey had on
black pants, the black leather vest and
the dark colored jacket, plus a black
cowboy that he wore in one of his films.
The match commenced and Jericho defeated
all of the older legends. (Note that all
of these older wrestling legends are all
superstars who in their day were more
famous than Chris Jericho!) Then Jericho
got on the mike and began taunting
Mickey to come in the ring. Mickey was
surrounded by some tough looking guys
who tried to persuade him not to do it.
I don't know if those tough looking guys
were his old boxing sparring partners or
his body guards or who they were. But
when Jericho said he would come out the
ring and slap Mickey in the face unless
he got in the ring, Mickey stood up and
gave his jewelry to the guys next to him
to hold. Then he started slowly towards
the ring, milking it for all it's worth
with the crowd. He slowly went up the
steps to the ring, and took off his hat
and plopped it on the ringpost. Then he
got in the ring. Boy does he look big!
Then, he started to do some boxing-type
movements with his feet and hands, and
then Jericho put up his dukes like he
was going to box Mickey too, but Mickey
took a couple of hits at Jericho and
then decked Jericho with a left hook.
Jericho went down and the crowd went
wild. Then Ric Flair got in the ring and
held up Mickey's hand and they paraded
around the ring while the crowd
applauded. Jericho slunk off down the
entrance ramp and then Flair & Mickey
went off hand in hand down the ramp
toward the exit. That was the end of
that segment. I was very happy to see
Mickey attend Wrestlemania 25. It looked
like he was having fun and I think it's
only right that Mickey should be there,
having made a movie that chronicles the
lives of so many wrestlers. It was well
worth the price of the pay--per-view,
which was $54.00, just to see Mickey.
WWE.com has a photo up of Mickey decking
Jericho. Mickey is really a hunk! I hope
that someone who attended the parties
afterwards might submit some photos, as
it's party central after Wrestlemania is
over. The WWE has a party and then the
wrestlers have their own parties as
well. Evander Holyfield was also there
and I believe he's a friend of Mickey so
maybe they got together as well. All in
all, a wonderful event.
Also,
some of you have directed me towards a
few wrestling sites who have used my
vast knowledge of wrestling on their
website. Woohoo!! I’s a star! Nah, just
kidding.. It was about Mickey... I will
say it’s weird to see my words appear on
these sites. Fer Fuck Sakes at least
they did the right thing and gave me and
uniquelyrourke credit for the work...
These other cocksucker’s out in
cyberspace steal Heather and my shit ..
Without giving us any props.
Site Visitors Contributions Heather’s friend Michael
Stevens donated movie posters from The
Wrestler. I believe Heather said he sent 14
or 15 of em’. We know many of you may be
interested in obtaining one of these
posters, there is only one problem. We
haven’t figured out how we are gonna
distribute them. So Michael, Heather Thanks
You & believe it or not I Thank You. It was
a very generous gesture on your part.
Check out
our
Articles page. Heather finally got off
her stinkin’ass (lol) and posted the German
Vanity Fair article that was translated by
our friend Wolfgang.
Listen, I
have loads of stuff that needs to be posted
under this section and I promise - I will
get to it in the coming days, just bare with
me.
Fluffers
Beware Here’s the deal: to all you
folks who have a stick up your ass regarding
my use of “FOUL” language on uniquelyrourke
- PISS Off!! Stop sending me emails telling
me what I should and shouldn’t do in regards
on how I choose to express myself. You’re
not my damn Mother, thank goodness what you
read is who I am. At least I’m not some fuckin’ dildo headed bitch pretending to be
something I’m not.
I wanna
send my condolences to the Tuna Bitches who
are gonna cringe with the knowledge that
WE’RE BAAACK!!! I know, don’t cry... I’ll
bet dollar to nuthin’ you lame ass cuntrags
believed that my car accident left me in a
coma, and Heather’s addiction to her Pole
Dancing would render uniquelyrourke a dead
website... HA!! Wrong!!! buhahahaha!!
Okay,
that’s it... I’ll say Good Night with 2
songs that are getting heavy play on my Ipod...
It’s been
a while since Stephy or I have written
anything, and with good reason. In mid April
(18th to be exact) Stephy was
beboppin around O-town doin’ the whole
grocery shopping thang & was rear ended. Not
a lil’ scuff on your bumper rear end, but
full blown rear ended. Her vehicle is toast
and her injuries are worse than initially
thought. The accident aggravated the prior
injuries she had from a previous accident,
along with giving her a host of new injuries
as well. This week she’s in doctor appt.
hell…bleh, we can all relate to that!
However, we would like to thank everyone on
our rockin’ Yahoo Group, The Rourke
Round Table for sending their well
wishes and healing vibes her way. I spoke to
her on the phone today and she really,
really appreciates all the words of
kindness, encouragement and get well soon(s)
either posted or sent via the mounds of
email we have in our inbox. So, in case the
rest of ya were wondering wtf was going on
around here, there ya have it. We are
continually working, albeit slowly at the
moment, on website things so please bear
with us! We haven’t forgotten about the
website, no fuckin’ way! It’s just when shit
happens in your life, that shit takes 1st
priority.
So for
now ya have me. My forte is anything but the
news, so this will be an experience for all
of us…I think I'd rather fall of a stripper
pole than do the news hahaha! I’ll give it
my best, and as Steph comes along in her
recovery she’ll zip me off some tidbits for
ya. As you can imagine, it’s extremely
uncomfortable for her to sit, stand or lie
down for more than a few minutes at a time.
At this
time, there isn’t a whole lot shakin’ in the
world of Rourke. He’s still filming, and as
we all know, when he’s filming, ya don’t
hear a lot from him. Duh, he’s a pro, he’s
doin’ his job and all that entails.
That’s all
for now folks (insert cheesy jazz hands
movement..lmao)
"And a photo?" "No problem" and he
gestures for me to sit just in the car.
"You wanna picture of my old man?" he
says jokingly indicating the guy next to
him. "He's not my father really, but he's
better than the real one" he laughs. Two
photos later, a firm handshake and Mickey's
whisked through the studio gates to film the
show. I tell the story for one reason ‑ the
man's back at the top of his game, he's late
for an important tv appearance and it's
really clear his team want him into the
studio fast, but he makes a point to tell
them to stop, he makes a point to notice his
fans and then he obliges with an autograph
and a photo and all the time he's in good
spirits, laughing, joking, smiling and
looking pretty fucking cool. That's the
qualities of a star and that's the qualities
that make Mickey Mickey. The whole encounter
takes less than five minutes, but the
memories last forever.
