The Holiday Sabbatical Is Over...
January 3rd, 09'

WTF!!! I’m gone for a few days, only to find out that all hell has broke loose and the receiver of all the heat has been Mickey. Fuck Me! Phew! I got my work cut out for me. Not only do I have to dish up the latest Rourke news, but I have an enormous heap of bullshit that needs to be debunked. It’s a damn shame about all the negative garbage being written about Mickey over the last several days. In my opinion there seems to be quite a few folks out there on the internet who have an acute case of something called DIARRHEA OF THE MOUTH!. (You know who you. Oh yeah, Ms. Administrator & Ms Editor - your time is cumin’) There is only one cure for this dreaded disease and it’s a dose of Steph-O-petate - every 4 hours ; )

Get it. K-a-o-p-e-c-t-a-t-e....... Steph-O-p-e-c-t-a-t-e. (haha)

Okay!! Bad Joke. Sorry.. I couldn’t fuckin’ resist... Anywho, it’s gonna take a few days to clear up some of this rubbish. So give me a lil’ bit of time.

TNA Wrestlin’ Rocks...
Several months ago, I came clean about being a fan of wrestling. I grew up watching it from the time I was a kid. Every Monday night it was a big deal in our family. My Dad would haul my sister Tina, my brother Michael and myself to the Eddie Graham Sports Stadium, while my Mom stayed home with my younger brother Steven & Joe. The place had no air conditioning, concrete floors and wood plank benches, but we didn’t care. During the course of the 80's & early 90's my friends and I would gather to watch the WWE(F). By the late 90's I stopped watching yet I always kept up with all latest news going down in the world of wrestling. Shit, that’s how I found out about The Wrestler before it hit mainstream media.

5 Years And Counting
Do I still watch wrestling? Yes, when I can. And No! I don’t watch WWE. BORING!! I watch TNA (Total Nonstop Action) (Whew, Steph..where I come from that stands for tits n' ass..lol..all this time I thought you were watching dirty movies or something..pahahaha) on Spike TV. TNA is a relatively new company, however, it’s fan base is slowly building up. Anywho, a couple of days ago my curiosity got the best of me. I surfed on over to TNA & WWE ‘s respective web sites to see for myself if either site was promoting The Wrestler. TNA being the realist - had a nice lil’ promo up for the film. When I went over to the WWE, there was nothing. To say I was surprised would be a fuckin’ lie. I had heard months ago that the owner of the WWE, Vince McMahon, was not happy about this film.
( a private screening of the film was held for him a few weeks ago) In fact, many wrestling sites/fans were wondering if the WWE would promote the film. I reckon these sites/fans got their answer

Here is TNA’s response to The Wrestler
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling is happy to see professional wrestling in the mainstream spotlight through the movie 'The Wrestler.' Mickey Rourke's performance is nothing short of sensational; Mickey Rourke is the movie. His portrayal of an over-the-hill wrestler struggling to find his own meaning in life has already been talked about as Oscar-worthy, and rightfully so.

Here is WWE’s response:
"While 'The Wrestler' is a very engaging movie, it portrays how wrestling was conducted in some independent wrestling circuits, unlike WWE, which is a global brand with millions of fans.”
Source for TNA & WWE statements: Daytona Beach News Journal

Adding Insult To Injury
The WWE’s lukewarm response to The Wrestler is nothing compared to the SLAM they gave Mickey on their website, under Misfit Toys. Seems the marketing department of the WWE couldn’t come up with an original/creative way to promote a product called Stone Cold Cream. Instead, these folks decided the best way to hype this lame-ass item was to write a derogatory slogan at Mickey’s expense. Needless to say, there is no way in fuckin’ hell - the remarks made pertaining to Mickey will be posted on uniquelyrourke. The only way to get the lowdown is to mosey on over to the WWE and read it for yourselves.

The thoughts expressed above - in no way reflect the opinions of Mickey Rourke or anyone else associated with The Wrestler. It’s all about me! Steph

Loki The Diva
Site visitors have been asking how Mickey’s best gal is doing. When Heather relayed the message to the powers that be down in Miami here’s the response we got ‘ She’s Alive & Kickin’

You Don’t Say
Total Film has declared The Wrestler as one of the 49 films that will define 2009. Furthermore, TF gives a heads up on the theatrical release of the film in the UK - January 16, 2009.

Uniquelyrourke just received a killer Guest Book comment from a chick named Phyllis in Chicago. Two words come to mind when I hear the word Chicago, Brrrr!!! Cold!! (lol) Hmm, Heather have you posted the Guest Book comments? HELLO!!! Get outta the tub!! Stop touching yourself!! (buahaha)
(Oh Steph you told my secret nightly ritual..lmfao...I would have posted them tonight/this am but no, you have me posting a Skinny instead! I am getting to them this weekend, so keep your dirty lil' peepers peeled! And YES, I found the missing entry from October 10th)

Stick a fork in me - I’m done. (I know someone who wants to stick more than a fork in you Stephy..muwahaha! Hopefully he will cowboy up! Nothing worse than a fella being a sissy)

Ciao,
Steph

Sly & Rourke Together Again
January 7th, 09'

It's been reported in several UK publications & Variety that Mickey will be joining the ensemble of Sylvester Stallone's next action pic called The Expendables - a flick that was written/directed by Stallone. Look for the film to begin shooting in March, in Brazil.. ( I’ve also read Costa Rica & Louisiana as possible locations. We’ll just have to wait and see.)

Other actors involved with the film - Jason Statham, Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren . The jest of the plot goes like this - mercenaries on a mission to overthrow a South American dictator. OMG!! Ya gotta know.. There is going to be some shit blowing up!!

Also rumored to be in talks to join the cast is - 2007 Oscar winner for Best Actor for his role in
Last King Of Scotland - Forest Whitaker. Whitaker also had a role in the 1989 Rourke film
Johnny Handsome. (Dr. Steven Fisher)

The announcement of this film has only hit the web a few hours and already the cocksuckers are out for Rourke’s blood. These naysayer’s are spewing out their verbal puke by saying Mickey is going from a great film like The Wrestler to a low budget Stallone movie. Regardless of what anyone thinks... Mickey remembers who his friends were when he was down. Stallone gave him a role in the 1971 remake of Get Carter. No matter who you are or from what walk of life you come from - there is no shame in helping out a loyal friend. None at all. If this film pans out, which it looks like it’s heading in that direction, then more power to Mickey. It shows he isn’t like a lot of those asswipes in Hollywood, who forget where they came from.

I’ll be back later with the latest on what I call the famous text heard around the entertainment world and the London premiere of The Wrestler. I had hoped to get to something up on these subjects a few days ago, but unfortunately one of my dogs fell ill. I’ve been up round the clock with him. He doing better so I’m here I am...

Oh yeah, Ms. Editor I’ve seen you latest work or should I say my work and words. Remember.... When you least expect it!! I’m gonna rip you an new asshole. . (weg)

Before I book it - Some of our site visitors are under the assumption - by way of what has been written on certain a Rourke site - that Mickey has an Administrator and an Editor. ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE. They are full of shit. Mickey does not know these people. More will follow.

Mickey In Iron Man 2?
January 8th, 09'

The Hollywood Reporter has divulged that Mickey is in talks to star as a bad guy in the sequel
Iron Man. THR describes Rourke’s character as “a tattooed Russian heavy named Ivan who becomes Whiplash, a man with deadly, technologically enhanced coils.” The rest of the cast includes Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle. Look for filming to begin in Spring... in Manhattan Beach. Paramount has set a May 7, 2010 release date.

Wow. Only yesterday I had a friend over to the palace & he brought with him the DVD Iron Man. I said NO!! I’m not interested….. Talk about a bite in the ass. It serves me right. (lol) Hmm, Iron Man 2? Okay. Who knew? Just know this, the only way I’m going to see this movie is if Mickey signs on, otherwise, I’m not going. No offense to those folks who dig that sort of film. From what friends have told me - it’s a kickin’ movie. It’s just not something that appeals to me. Sorry, folks there was no way in hell I was gonna tell ya’ll I’ve seen the movie. I won’t lie.

If this is the real deal - I think it’s an awesome opportunity for Mickey. He deserves all the good that comes his way. I’ve also included a link to the Los Angels Times, who also picked up the story, however, this write-up has a bit of a twist. Read it for yourself.

The 14th Annual Critics Choice Awards
As you well know Mickey was nominated for Best Actor (in The Wrestler...duh!), The Wrestler for Best Film, as well as Marissa Tomei for Best Supporting Actress and Bruce Springsteen for Best Song. That's the shit right? Hell yeah say our thousands of site visitors. Seems you all wanna know if Mickey is going to be present at the actual award ceremony held at 9pm (eastern standard time) today January 8th, 09'. Heather made a phone call and spoke with Mickey's manager JP. According to JP, Mickey is going to be there! (Thanks JP, you fucking rock it out!) Look for Mickey being all foxy on the red carpet!

Q &A (UK)
Our friend Katie, who owns RumbleFish Online, attended the screening of The Wrestler followed by a Q & A with Mickey. She was able to shoot a bit of video and wanted to share it with our site visitors. Heather and I wanted to thank her for giving us a shout out at the beginning of the videos. Very Cool! Check it out here and be sure to give that roving eyeball a work out and take a look-see at her other videos too!

The Text Heard Around The World
We have it on very good authority that everything is cool between Mickey & Sean Penn. Ya know, I’ve been a fan of Sean Penn a long time and the one thing I admire about the cat besides his acting, is if he has something say - he isn’t shy about expressing himself, and that is something he has yet to do - when it comes to this matter. So to those of you who are trying to second guess what the Penn thing is about …. STOP! It’s over. There is no point in trying to make this bullshit into some kind of throw down between Rourke & Penn. When it’s all said and done - it’s NONE of our business.

Site Updates....
Heather has finally posted the latest Guest Book comments.

uniquelyrourke is now on facebook. Come on over and join us!

This has been a busy day. I know I still owe ya the lowdown on London, but until then read this kickin’ interview in The Sun

It’s time to go to work. The nasty boi’s are waiting.

Mickey Rourke's Comeback

Penn says The Wrestler (and no we aint talkin' about Sean Penn) We are talkin' about Penn Jillete, ya know the other half of Penn & Teller. You may have seen their hit show Penn & Teller: Bullshit. We dig it. What can you say about Penn? He's smart, well educated, he's not pc and he has a way with critical thinking. Plus, he tells it like it is! No holes barred. The video below may be 8 minutes long but you HAVE to hear what he has to say about Mickey Rourke and The Wrestler! It's real, just the way we like it :)

MICKEY WINS THE GOLDEN GLOBE!!!!
January 11th, 09'

Mickey grabbed Best Actor for The Wrestler - a few minutes ago... Heather and I are so FUCKIN’ HAPPY for him. Mickey earned that fuckin’ award.( Blood, Sweat & Tears) He had the best fuckin’ acceptance speech of any of the winners. He was being Mickey!!!! Love the bird Aronofsky sent Mickey’s way.. And I ain’t talkin’ bout the kind of bird that flies. Damn, that middle finger comes in handy......(woohoo!! Mickey got a standing ovation) Heather just sent a text to Mickey’s manager JP with this message ‘I told you Mickey would fuckin’ win!!!

Thanks SwimmingPolarBear for the video! (Thanks for the heads up Ray)

Heather spoke to JP earlier this afternoon on the phone and the mood was really calm but positive. The vibe was that Mickey had a fair chance of winning this evening. Heather told him - fuck ya!! The foreign press LOVES Mickey...

Oops, I’m excited I forgot to mention The Boss. He won for Best Song for The Wrestler. He thanked Mickey for writing him the letter that moved him to write the song.

That’s it for now...

You’ll Only Find Em’ Here
January 12th, 09'

It’s KICK ASS to be an official site. You get all kinds of cool shit from really cool people. In the wee early hours of the morning - Heather received an email from Mickey’s most awesome friend
John Enos. John & his wife Jennie are supporters and friends of uniquelyrourke. They have been there for us when the going was tough for Heather & I. In other words they have had our backs. Anywho, the contents of the email totally blew our hair back. John sent us 5 photos of Mickey at a Golden Globe after party.

Let me make something clear to those you have sticky fingers. These photos are personal property of John Enos. They are protected under our copyright. Now don’t go thinkin’ I’m being some kind of bitch not wanting to share, but there is a watermark on these photos for a reason. Over the last few months content that is protected under our copyright has been lifted from uniquelyrourke without our permission. Ya know, all you have to do is ask us. In the time it takes you to remove content from our site - you could have written us an email instead.

Mickey Rourke & his friends don’t have to do what they are doing. So, PLEASE show some respect to these people. ASK!!! DON’T BE A TUNA!!! (buhahaha)

Enjoy the Pics....

Mickey & The Boss chillin' after the Golden Globes...way to go fellas!

Mickey, The Boss, John Enos...and JP in the background (gotcha JP...lol)
Lookin' good fellas!

Callin’ It A Night
January 13th, 09'

It’s been a really busy day for Heather and me. We’ve been trying desperately to keep up with our personal lives - along with the heavy site traffic uniquelyrourke has had today. Shit, as of 3 hours ago, the site has been hit over 20,000 times. Hmm, to be exact the numbers were 20, 344 at last count. (btw) We are no longer keeping track. As our friend and Mickey’s friend Melissa Prophet would say “IT’S HUGE!!!!!”
With all sincerity, we wanna thank each and everyone of you (with the exception of a certain self titled - fictitious editor & administrator) for giving uniquelyrourke the hairy eyeball. In the coming days & weeks there will be some major changes at uniquelyrourke so keep coming round - every now and then.

Before I move on with site updates & news, we also want to take the time to thank those of you - who have requested to use content from uniquelyrourke for other web sites. WOW!! Its so fuckin’ nice to be asked. Anywho, Heather or myself will respond to your emails as soon as possible. Give us a couple of days.

Guest Book
I don’t know if Heather will be able to post any comments tonight. Umm, I gonna pass this one off to Heather. HELLO!!! Leatha, when are you going to start posting? Folks wanna see their comments. (Heather here...yep, as soon as I get some time I will post them ASAP. I had some shit that I had to do today...ugh! Look for them real, real soon peeps!)

FYI - When leaving Guest book comments you need to either leave you name or let us know if you want to remain anonymous. Several folks have left special instructions, which both Heather & I got a kick outta reading. Good stuff!!!

Rourke Telly Appearance
Mickey will be gracing us with his presence this evening on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The east coast broadcast begins at 11:35 pm. Check you local listings for the show times in your area.

Golden Globes Speech
Our friend Ray sent this video to our Myspace early this morning. Sorry we didn’t get it up sooner. Thanks Raymundo!!!!

Yes it’s True
Mickey’s beloved dog Loki is being immortalized in bronze. Mickey first mentioned this tidbit on the David Letterman show on December 23^rd. Furthermore, there is no need to send anymore emails on whether Loki is around. I reported on the Skinny a week or so ago that the powers that be sent us this message to give to everyone “ She’s alive & kicking.”

Although we did learn on December 28^th that one of Mickey dog’s passed!! Until we are given permission or Mickey chooses to say something about it, it’s not our place to tell ya’ll which one crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The dogs name will remain under wraps until then.

You gotta know that poochie had one hell of a life. So, it was fitting that Mickey paid tribute to the dogs that are still with him and those who have passed on in his Golden Globe speech. I can tell ya’ll that speech touched many people’s heart. I’ve read so much good shit about how folks got misty eyed at that moment. Heather and I get it, I have 4 rescue dogs & Heather has a few cats and a couple of dogs. She only recently had to let her pug Boog wander across the rainbow bridge. He was fuckin’ cool. I loved that dog and so did she. She cried like a baby for days. I even cried and it wasn’t my dog. I guess you have to be a goofy animal lover to get it...

The Speech
There's been much buzz about Mickey's acceptance speech at The Golden Globes. 99.9% of it has been all good. Ya know that other left over miniscule percentage...there's an asshole in every crowd, that will never change. I think most everyone loved Mickey's speech coz it was real, it was honest, it wasn't some boring snooze fest. He was bein' himself and speaking from the heart and that resonated with people. Plus Mickey is a fucking riot when he gets on a roll! Sure he got bleeped, who cares?

Some people were bitchin' about their kids hearing a cuss word on TV and seeing the, as my mom puts it, the fickle finger of fate award. If your kids are that young, wtf are they doing up that late anyway? You see some of the gowns chicks were wearing? In your oh so responsible thought process, you'll let junior get an eyeful of cleavage and that's fine, but oh shit don't bring out the bird coz his oh so innocent eyes will likely pop right out oh his/her sockets...get a fucking grip!

Attention Fox Searchlight
It’s been brought to our attention that peeps are having difficulty tracking down where The Wrestler is showing in their area. For instance, Heather and I both searched Fandango for listings in our cities and found NOTHING. Heather then went to Marcus Theaters and checked under the title of Wrestler, because nothing popped up under The Wrestler. As for myself, I live in Orlando and the movie is supposed to open this Friday. When I contacted a few theaters in my area, they didn’t have a fuckin’ clue as to what I was talking about. Apparently, we aren’t the only ones who have having this problem. It’s happening in many cities across this country. Needless say, they are writing us, hence, we are feeling there rage. HELP!!!

For those of you who live Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Ohio click HERE

As for the rest of ya.. Pfft!! You’re on you own. (lol) Nah, if we hear anything we will let you know... Oooh, I forgot to mention, Fandango is listing Killshot - Jan. 23^rd. HELLO!! Where’s The Wrestler??

The phone is ringing and it’s Heather. Most likely she’s calling from the tub and wants me to talk dirty to her... What a way to end an evening!!!! buhahahaahaha!!!

Ciao,
Steph

“I’m not perfect, sweetheart,” Mr. Rourke said afterward in the press room to someone who asked him about some R-rated rhetoric from the podium.

Mickey On Oprah
January 13th, 09'

We hate to interrupt this Oprah moment. But the powers that be just informed us that Mickey is on the set of Jay Leno. Don't forget to watch The Tonight Show - tonight!!! :) EST 1135pm, CST 1035pm. All others check your local listings. And we'll now return to Oprah....

Yep, you heard me right. He was live via Skype on her show today. Oprah told Mickey she has seen the movie twice and liked it. She asked Mickey how it felt to win the Golden Globe. He said “Terrific” He also gave a shout-outs to Father Pete, his shrink Steve and his agent David Unger. With any luck the video will put up in the next few hours. If any of you find it before me. Send it my way. I’ll give ya props.

Speaking of props, I learned of this interview via our Myspace friends Jimmy(FTW)& his wife Stacy Marie. They also offered up a bit more info for me to put up on the Skinny. If you live in the Indianapolis, Indiana area - The Wrestler will be screening January 16^th at the Keystone Art Center. It’s very cool of them to help out fellow Rourke fans track down where they can catch a showing of The Wrestler.

Magazine Covers
Mickey is on the cover February 2009 issue of Men’s Journal.. There are great photos and a kickin’ article inside. Hmm, apparently Mickey is getting laid a lot. I say “GOD BLESS” at least someone is getting some ass!! (lol) Anywho, so go buy it. Shit, I didn’t think the lady at Publix was going to let go of my copy. She was checkin’ Mickey out. I kinda shot her a WTF look. She returned my glance with a smile and then said “That is one fine looking man” I nodded my head in agreement :)

You can also find another interview with Mickey in the January/February issue of
LA. Confidential Magazine. I don’t get that particular magazine in my neck of the woods nor can I afford a subscription to the mag. It’s too rich for my blood $70 a year. If your like myself and can’t either get you hands on a copy or shell out 70 bucks - you can read a snippet online.

All ya gotta do.. Is click

Mickey & Jaws
Are part of a Peta campaign to get people to spay & neuter their pets. The poster can be found at Peta’s website - along with an e-card you can sent out to those of you who need a clue. (lol)
You can also give it a once over on our Myspace page dedicated to Loki. If we do say so ourselves, it’s a cool page. And YES - Mickey knows about the page. It’s all good. If you have a Myspace profile - Heather and I welcome you to join, however, if you don’t like a lot of bulletins I wouldn’t advise you to join. The purpose of Loki’s page is to promote anything and everything about animals. There are several rescues on the page and I repost lots of bulletins to get the word out about unwanted, abused animals, dogs/cats who are next in line to be PTS (put to sleep) and rescues needing foster homes for rescued animals. The reason I am forewarning you about this is because we’ve had folks join then BITCH about all the bulletins, which is a bad idea. Because when I receive an email - I post a bulletin telling all those with a stick up their ass - to delete Loki’s page as a friend. If you’re not willing to show support - then don’t bother. Heather and I have been involved with pet rescues for a vast majority of our lives. All our pets are adopted from either rescues, shelters or we found em’ on the streets. So we take this shit seriously!!!

FilmInk
We were contacted today by Genevieve, who works for FilmInk. She let us know they have a bangin' diddy on their site about The Golden Globes, and Mickey Rourke. So...whatcha' waitin' for? Head on over to FilmInk to read their synopsis of what went down at The Golden Globes. You can also find their link permanently on our ever growing LINKS page!

Oops, it’s 6pm. Time to take my boy’s out for their walk. I’ll either be post something later this evening or in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Until then

Peace ~
Steph

It Was All Good!!!
January 14th, 09'

Just finished watching Mickey on The Tonight Show, it was a bangin’ segment mixed with his crackerjack story telling, laughter and brutal honesty. He also did an awesome job of making sure Jay Leno doesn’t leave his night gig for a future as - Dr .Leno (Psychologist). I don’t say this with any sort of malice towards Jay. It’s just that every time he thought he had Mickey figured out Mickey would prove him wrong. For example, Jay told Mickey he had thought the reason why Mickey had issues with his career was because it came too easy for him in the beginning. Mickey said “No your wrong. I was shy in acting class.”
After doing some strolling down memory lane about living down the street from Mickey it came time to get down to business and talk about The Wrestler. Mickey gave Jay the lowdown on what it took for him to get prepared for the role. Then came the dreaded (for Mickey) film clip, but when Jay tried to set up the scene folks were about to see, Mickey rebuked any part of it. As we all know Mickey doesn’t watch himself so - he told Jay to tell him about it. (lol) (Psst.... Heather was in that clip - woohoo! She’s now a star!! Buhahaha) This show does differ from past Tonight Show stints, due to the fact that Mickey stuck around till the end of the show, instead of duckin’ out after he did his time. (lol) I’m sure tonight’s show will pop up on youtube in a few hours. I’ll be on the look out.

Never A Dull Moment
After winning the Golden Globe Award - Mickey was lead back to the press room for a brief Q&A. . Ya’ll are gonna so dig this video.. Lots of good info.... Thanks Ray.

Mickey Speaks
When asked by MTV about Iron Man 2 - Mickey says he would “bring it all” to the role.” “I’ll bring everything.” Rourke is in negotiations to play either Crimson Dynamo or Whiplash in Iron Man 2. (Btw) this interview was 8 seconds long. Talk about a quickie!!! (See how shit changes in movie land. It was only last week that I reported that Mickey was up for the role of Whiplash. HELLO!! Enter Crimson Dynamo - WTF!!) Source: Reelz

Unrated Trailer
Here’s the deal: if seeing a chick’s tits bother than I suggest you don’t watch this trailer for The Informers.

I’m going to bed....this girl is tired...

Ciao,
Steph

Telly Alert!!!!
January 14th, 09'

Hey All.. The powers that be have notified us that Mickey is on the set of Jimmy Kimmel at this moment. Don’t forget to watch it tonight. Well, it will be tomorrow for me. It airs on the east at 12:05 am. Check your local listings for times....

This Just In
Gold Derby of The LA Times Envelope, had the opportunity to have a sit down with Mickey. The interview was posted today on youtube. What the hell would we do without youtube?

Guest Book
Heather put up page 3 of the Guest Book, be sure to let that roving eyeball of yours have its way with the page. We always get interesting Guest Book comments!

Later,
Steph

I Made Ya Look
January 15th, 09'

Hmm. I heard from a few males today, complaining that I mislead them with my intro to The Informers trailer. Aaah boo-hoo!! Evidently, their discord with the trailer stemmed from the lack of hardcore mammary gland footage, which was needed to sas-ifiy em’ Whateva!!!! Heather and I aren’t in the business of providing those few pervy male site visitors with strokin’ material. HELLO!!! If you’re feeling like you wanna get jiggy wif your bad selves - then you need to haul your ass down to your local neighborhood adult video store and grab whatever it is that makes you feel ALL sexxy. I still can’t believe I got the big “what for “ from these guys. NEWSFLASH!!! I’m Catholic. And we Catholics don’t do pervy stuff to ourselves. It’s a sin. We’ll go to purgatory. (Buhahaha) (I’ll see ya there Stephy..lol)

Highlights from Kimmel
Mickey was himself, hence, never a dull moment. Here are a few morsels from the show.

1) Sean Penn introduced Mickey to Bruce Springsteen 20 years ago.

2) Mickey was only bleeped twice. And he actually said blank – blank twice versus filling in the blank with his colorful ad libbing.

3) Jimmy wouldn’t shut-up about steroids. In my opinion, who gives a shit? Let it go!!!

4) Wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper showed up and he expressed how much he liked the movie and what a great job Mickey did.

5) Jimmy showed cell phone video footage of his cousin’s friend or cousin Sal or who ever the hell it was - on the receiving end of Roddy’s signature move the dreaded Sleeper Hold. You don’t wanna fuck with the shit cuz you’re going down for the count.

6) I almost forgot. While Mickey was training for The Wrestler in Miami, Darren Aronofsky flew down to Miami to let me know Mickey wasn’t going to be in the movie. Mickey thought it was nice of him to personally fly down to give news face to face.

Wait. I fucked up. Let me make it clear that Aronofsky DID NOT fly down to my trashy trailer park in Orlando to tell me Mickey wasn’t going to be in The Wrestler. I’m gonna try this one more time.... Phew!! While Mickey was training for The Wrestler in Miami, Darren Aronofsky flew down to Miami to let Mickey know he wasn’t going to be in the movie. Okay that works. And NO I haven’t been drinking or smokin’ wacky weed!!(That’s what you get Stephy for writing a Skinny so late at night…heehehee)

7) A big WTF!!! Jimmy said The Wrestler opens nationwide January 23^rd ...
(HELLO! Bitch session time - it’s opening here in Orlando, Florida (home of millions), this Friday. It’s only screening at one Artsy Fartsy Theater,The Enzian. A place I swore 10 years ago, I would NEVER go back to. So does that mean I’ll see it on the 23^rd at a regular theater? I hope so. Cause this chickie ain’t going to the Enzian, cuz, my clunker of a car - will be turned away at the gate.)

Mickey Rourke Returns To Wild Card Gym
LA Times caught up with Mickey before he headed to Jimmy Kimmel Live. There really isn’t much more I need to say about this. It’s self-explanatory, just click the link.

The Boss
Mickey & Darren talk about how the song The Wrestler came to fruition. I love this song. I’m buying the CD or maybe one day I’ll download it to the iPod I never use.

Now I’m heading out the door to my local neighborhood adult video store. See ya there!!!

Night!!!,

Walken & Rourke in New York
The February 2009 issue of Interview magazine has a fuckin’ bad ass Q &A. Friend/Actor, Christopher Walken is doing the asking and we all know who’s doing the answering. Ya’ll are going to dig the hell outta this piece. They banter back and forth about Heaven’s Gate, The Actor’s Studio, Boxing, and the script he’s been working on for 18 years.. Wild Horses. Plus you'll get to see some pics of Mickey in his tidy whities...muwahahaha! I need to toss some props towards our friends on Myspace - Jimmy (FTW) & Stacy Marie. If it weren’t for them - you wouldn’t be reading this article. THANKS!!!! You’ve come through for uniquelyrourke AGAIN!!!

PETA sits down with Mickey
Thanks to our Myspace friend Elle, who's a member of PETA and also has her own animal rescue called Strangest Angels, for sending this video our way.

Other Media News
January issue of Empire (UK) has a 6 page interview. (When you click the link, there's also a cool video for ya to watch too)

Another Nomination
BAFTA ( British Academy Of Film And Television Arts), announced their nominees yesterday. This is all you need to know (Ya I’m kinda bossy when I’m running low on endorphin’s)

Mickey Rourke - Leading Actor

Marisa Tomei - Supporting Actress

If you are wondering whether Sean Penn’s name was in the mix of Leading Actor nods. HELLO!! The Answer is YES!! ;)

Watch Before They Disappear
Okay, I found the video from Mickey’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I don’t know how long they will be up for viewing - so I hope ya’ll get the opportunity to watch it , cuz, the highlights I wrote up the other morning - were off the cuff.

13 Questions With Mickey Rourke
Andrew Lubega of AskMen.com has posted an interview with Mickey that consists of 13 questions.

It’s Still A Green Light
Killshot is still set to open on January 23^rd - the same day- The Wrestler is suppose to open nationwide, and the day after the announcements of The Oscars. According to Ad Age Cable Guide - Weinstein Co. spokeswoman Emily Feingold, stated the studio will use Phoenix, Az as a “test market” for the film. The reason for this choice says a studio insider is because it’s not LA, Chicago or New York. It’s a major metropolis without major metropolis advertising. Ya know it’s so wild that this article picked up on some major points - I have previously talked about on the Skinny - concerning the release of this film. Don’t get me wrong. In no way - shape or form do I believe that Ad Age came over and took content from the Skinny. I’m not some conceited bitch - All I’m saying is- it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the elements that were involved in promoting this movie. There is no crime in riding the popularity of Mickey’s fame to give Killshot a push. This movie has been sitting on the shelf for over 3 years. It’s about time folks will finally have the chance to see the damn thing. Source: AdAge

The (new) Killshot trailer is up for viewing. In my opinion, it doesn’t look any different then the old one. Then again wtf do I know. I want to thank regular site visitor - Gail - for pointing me in the right direction. Unfortunately, I was unable to make use of her source, so I had to use another.

Sundance
The film festival opened yesterday in Park City, Utah. This 10 day film event will wind down on January 25^th. What makes this film festival so kickin’ is the fact that “The Informers” will make its debut here. For dates & times: click here
(FYI: Heather just spoke with Mickey's manager JP, and Mickey will not be at Sundance...Thanks JP!)

Actor Mel Raido who plays a rock star in the film, had this to say about Mickey:
Mel Raido said it was a pleasure to work with Mickey Rourke, despite his bad boy persona.The actor worked with the 80s star, who is currently enjoying a comeback with The Wrestler, on forthcoming film The Informers and said it was an ambition fulfilled.

"I got to hang with Mickey (Rourke) for a couple of weeks, I am a huge fan of his (work) - Pope Of Greenwich Village, Barfly, Angel Heart - I think he is a phenomenal actor, so it was a pleasure to be in his presence for sure," he said. Mel plays a rock star in The Informers, for which he based his performance on rock legend Iggy Pop. Source

Still No Confirmation
As I reported a few days ago, Mickey was in negotiations to be a part of the ensemble cast of Iron Man 2. Another actor, Sam Rockwell, who was up for a different role in the film was in talks at or around the same time as Mickey. Well, it’s been confirmed by firstshowing.net , that Sam Rockwell has signed on the dotted line. Still no word on Mickey. When asked about whether Mickey is still on board - Rockwell responded “I hope so” Source: firstshowing

Ya’ll Will Have To Wait
Due to all the traffic Mickey has been getting on the internet - hundreds of first time site visitors have asked me whether a certain online petition and Star committee, that is groveling for signatures in the name of Mickey Rourke , is for real and did Mickey ask these 3 people to start the Star Committee for the sole purpose of getting him a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame? I can’t get into a lot of detail at this time, coz to be honest, I’m about to fall over from sleep deprivation. But, I’ll give you a little something.

Mickey Doesn’t Know Them
Here’s the deal: The petition is a bluffer and the Star Committee is full of shit. Neither Mickey nor his friends asked these individuals to commiserate on a plan to get him a Star. First and foremost, The Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce (the folks who award the star), does not accept petitions or phone calls. As I have told others who have inquired about this topic, you need to ask the self titled, oh so self important administrator or ass. administrator of this website to produce a written letter from Mickey, stating they had permission to use his name in this manner. (Yes, we will get it verified and authenticated if they can produce one, which they can’t….duh) I know they try to make it look - like it’s a sanctioned petition on behalf of Mickey. Don’t let a line like ‘Mickey would appreciate you signing this petition’ fool you.

I’ve said this before and I’m gonna say it again, it never ceases to amaze me - how gullible folks are to believe that Mickey Rourke would actually enlist people to beg for signatures. For what it’s worth, there are many people who have been duped by these folks. I know better than anyone - it’s not RIGHT to shit on people. And that’s what these people are doing.

The diddy below - comes from the the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce facts page.
Q: Does the committee accept signatures/petitions/phone calls? A:The committee does not accept signatures, phone calls, e-mails, or any form of petitions for a nomination.

News From Sundance
As I stated in the last Skinny, the movie, The Informers, will be making it debut this week . Here is a lil’ lowdown on the film It sounds good so far...

This one is my early favorite for the Grand Jury Prize, the festival's most coveted award. The comeback kid, Mickey Rourke, comes back yet again to star in this flick set in the early 1980s about the class stratification of L.A. Billy Bob Thornton, Mickey Rourke, Kim Basinger and Winona Ryder also perform. The basic premise of this film is an unconnected group of people that are at opposite ends of the social ladder end up living their lives in very similar ways and end up being connected in more ways than one.

You Got To Be Kidding Me ( INDECENCY)
At any time of the day - I can see half-naked women, the commercial for his & her K-Y Jelly that enhances the sensitivity of her hooch & his schmeckel, so you can have some kind of amazing orgasm and a pill that a man can take to have a hard-on, with instructions on what to do if the hard-on last more than 4 hours. Hard to believe anyone would have a problem with the middle finger salute and words like suck it, cocaine and balls. What the fuck is this world coming. I can’t believe the FCC is going to investigate 18 complaints that were filed against the Golden Globes Ceremony, which was watched by millions. Hint! Hint! Go Cable next year. Source: LaTimes

The Informers
For those who keep asking: Heather spoke to Mickey’s manager (JP) a few days ago and Mickey will not be appearing at the Sundance Film Festival to promote The Informers. Tisk! Tisk! You need to read the prior Skinny’s more closely. The info was there for you to read.

We Aren’t Morning People
The Academy Award Nominations will be announced later this morning at 5:30am (California Time). I won’t blow smoke up ya’ll’s asses. Heather and I won’t be up to hear the nominations read over the telly. However, we’ve taken it upon ourselves - to Congratulate Mickey for his Best Actor Award nod. Is this bit premature? MAYBE (lol) But we wanted to send out good vibes to Mickey, cause he has been extremely GENEROUS to us. If you don’t believe it - then you haven’t been paying attention to all the good Mickey has sent our way. HELLO!! We are Mickey’s one and only OFFICIAL website. And we have been told that we are the BEST website out there in cyberspace. :)
If we have to eat our words later this afternoon regarding the nomination, then so be it!!! At least Heather and I have the steel tits to put it out there.
Source: Steph & Heather!!

WE LOVE JOHN ENOS
A couple of Skinny’s ago I mentioned that Mickey was featured in the Jan/Feb 2009 issue of LA Confidential Magazine. Furthermore, I made it known that we were unable to get our hands on this magazine due to the fact that the magazine wasn’t sold in our neck of the woods and a subscription would cost 70 fuckin’ dollars for 1 year. Moolah that Heather and I don’t have.

So what did we do? Heather talked to John about our dilemma. Let it be said, John Enos doesn’t fuck around! Within a few days we had our own copies of LA Confidential Magazine in our hot lil’ hands. Oooh Yeah!!! Thanks John!!! You ROCK!!!!

Unger Me This & Anus Me That
There’s been quite a few folks taking the time to write me about the latest developments concerning Mickey and his impending role in Iron Man 2. If you haven’t already heard, the word on the street (at least for now) is that Mickey was offered a base salary of $250,000. Well, Mickey wasn’t the only one offered $250,000.00. Actor Samuel L. Jackson was offered the same deal for a role as Nick Fury, but refused to accept the offer. I just read this killer blog posted on moviehole.com, by Caffeinated Clint titled: Rourke’s Raw Deal - Clint really sums it all up in a nutshell.
To offer Mickey Rourke that kind of money is an insult; they might as well have asked him to unbutton his pants whilst they stick a spiked ruler up his anus.….(Anus.. Buahahhaha!! )

Also, give the article that appeared on Bloomberg.com a read. It’s all about Mickey’s agent
David Unger. I’ve had contact with David in the past and he has always been really cool about confirming whether something was real or bullshit. Pay close attention to what he has to say about the 4 upcoming movies Mickey will be working on. Iron Man 2 is mentioned. Read all about it.. Click

FYI: Mickey gave Unger his Golden Globe Award

Killshot (Limited )
There’s going to be no beating around the bush on this one.. If you live in Phoenix, there will be 5 theaters screening this film (buahaha) That’s fucked up!!! Phew!!! I’m so glad I didn’t have any high expectations, in regards to this movie.

Mickey’s manager JP - just sent word to Heather that Mickey will be on The View (ABC) &
The Today Show (NBC) tomorrow, Friday January 23^rd. Check you’re local listings for times in your area.

Zero Calories
Hmm, how did we know - when the Skinny was to bed last night that Mickey would be an Oscar Nominee for Best Actor? Because we ROCK!!! Maybe we are psychic? (lol) Nah, we knew there was no way in fuckin’ hell the Academy would hold back on Mickey this time round. His performance was BRILLIANT. This nomination was inevitable. HELLO!!! A vast majority of critics, film sites, bloggers and fans, knew there was a big O in Mickey’s future.

CONGRATS MICKEY!!!

Also nominated: Marisa Tomei - Best Supporting Actress.

Unfortunately, Bruce Springsteen’s song for The Wrestler was not nominated. Instead, Wall E and 2 songs from Slumdog Millionaire was recognized. Wow. Those Golden Globe folks know a good song when they hear it!!!

Mickey Speaks.
"I'm so grateful and appreciative of this incredible honor. I'm truly thrilled to be included." -- Mickey Rourke, best actor nominee for "The Wrestler".

"I am so honored to be nominated for a film in which I am so proud and to be included with such a wonderful and talented group of women...Congratulations to Mickey (Rourke) for an extraordinary performance." -- Marisa Tomei, best supporting actress nominee for "The Wrestler".

2- 4-1 Actor Forest Whitaker, had these words to say about Mickey being nominated for Best Actor in a film. As you all ( should) know, Whitaker, worked with Mickey on the film Johnny Handsome and the short BWM feature - The Hire: ‘ Mickey, I worked with before and I’m about to work with in him again, in “The Expendables.”

All I can say is... Mickey hit it outta the park on The View this morning!!!! Besides being calm, cool and collected - He looked good enough to EAT!!!! (lol) Sorry, I had to say that!! Watch for the one & only JP makin’ his cameo appearance. Looookin’ Goooood!!! JP!!!! (oooh Steph..you bad girl! wink, wink)
The youtube video: DreamerVids

As I told you in a previous Skinny one of Mickey’s dogs passed away. I believe the news was given to us on Dec 28, 2008. At the time we did not disclose the name of the poochie that crossed the Rainbow Bridge. While Mickey did mention the passing of the dog on The View, he still gave no name, hence, we aren’t revealing the dogs name either. I have already received email asking which one passed. Here’s the deal : Neither Heather or myself, feel it’s our place to give out the name. If we are told it’s okay - then I’ll post it on the Skinny, otherwise, you gonna have to wait, until Mickey decides to spill the beans.

I’ll be posting a lil’ tidbit on the latest about Iron Man 2.... later

Until we meet again,

Don’t Ask - Don’t Tell
January 25th, 09'

Early this morning I read an article pertaining to a film Mickey is being slated as the lead in, by acclaimed Indian filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, called “Broken Horses”. The first thing that popped into my mind was - WTF!!! Once I got over the WTF! phase I did what any anal retentive person would do - I went on the hunt. Scouring the internet and pickin’ the brains of my sources for anything and everything about this film. Shit, I even found Vidhu’s website which, by the way - at this writing - makes no reference to Mickey - only the movie (Broken Horses) and those involved in it’s production. (Last update on the site was Dec. 6^th 2008) After exhausting all outlets available to me - we had to go for the BIG guns. (lol)

All I will say at this time about “Broken Horses” is this - No Comment! Heather and I have been in touch with The Powers That Be and we did obtain some background on the film but at this time I’m not willing to put my tits in a vice over releasing the information. And Heather agrees!!

IM2
With all the hoopla surrounding Mickey & Iron Man 2, I decided to take it to the man himself, David Unger (Mickey’s Agent) Fuckin’A ! Ya’ll didn’t think I was going to say Mickey did ya?

Anywho, I wrote David an email a couple of nights ago, and explained to him all the BULLSHIT circulating about how Mickey MAY have left talks with Marvel because of the paltry sum of dough that was tossed Mickey’s way. David offered me NO other info except this “We are continuing to negotiate”. There you have. So please stop with the emails!! If I learn anything thing else - I will pass it along. Wait. I know there will be a few of you out there who have what I call a chronic case of big nose problem syndrome. The folks with this quirk will write and ask “ Did you ask about how much money Mickey will get?” So, let me answer the question for all to read - HELLO!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! I don’t know what the fuck is going on and I don’t care. The only reason I wrote Unger was to get the lowdown on IM2.

By the way, if you didn’t read the AWESOME feature I posted on the Skinny a couple of days ago written about David by Bloomberg.com - all I got to say is you’re in luck ;) I’ll re-post the link

The Informers
The reviews from Sundance Film Festival aren’t good. Critics had high hopes for this film. I will say NO more. Pfft! Whateva!!! I’m still going to see the film.

Killshot
The word on the street about this film is the plot is kinda out there. A reviewer referred to it as a serious version of FARGO. Well gotta know - I fuckin’ loved FARGO .
Marge: Say, Lou, didya hear the one about the guy who couldn't afford personalized plates, so he went and changed his name to J3L2404?” (lol)

Bill Goody Koontz of www.azcentral.com was most impressed by Mickey. Here's what he had to say
"It's ultimately Rourke who makes the film worth watching. Always a fascinating actor, the miles of wear on his face makes him even more so now. Blackbird is a killer, yes, but he adheres to a set of rules, however twisted. He thinks of himself as a man of honor, after a fashion - at least when it serves his interests.”

Read the REVIEW

Here is a list of the 5 theaters in Arizona showing Killshot

AMC Deer Valley 30 - New River, Az

AMC Mesa Grand 24 - Mesa, Az

Harkins Arizona Mills Luxury Mills 24 - Tempe, Az

The SAG Awards Reeked
January 26th, 09'

It’s Bullshit - Mickey didn’t win!!! Although Sean Penn in his acceptance speech mentioned the upcoming Oscars, and something about the media playing out some kind of dog fight between him and Mickey. (lol)

Mickey looked great!!!!

IT’S ON TO THE OSCARS!!!!!

Anthony Hopkins & Mickey Mickey strikin' a pose on the red carpet

McMahon’s Change Of Heart
E! host Giuliana Rancic interviewed Mickey on the Red Carpet (tonight) at the SAG Awards and he told her he is negotiating an appearance at this years WWE 25^th Anniversary of WrestleMania in Houston, Texas on April 5^th 2009. He said “the boys from the WWE called me and asked me to do it”. “The nicest thing has been the whole wrestling community embracing us,”

He also said “Chris Jericho, you better be in shape because I’m coming after your ass.” hahaha!! (After hearing those words come out of Mickey’s mouth - the first thing I thought was - this sounds like the beginning of a working - shoot.)

I wanna thank Jimmy (FTW) for giving me the heads-up about what went down on this past Friday Night Edition of WWE Smack Down. He told me they promoted The Wrestler in an exclusive video, found ONLY on their website. (It’s The Wrestler meets The WWE)
Click HERE.
Word of caution: Don’t try and rip this video off the WWE Web Site. They will have NO problem coming after you for copyright infringement.

Scroll the list of video’s to the right. I believe it’s the 7^th one down.

UPDATE: Lords Of Pain (a very reliable Wrestling website - I visit frequently) has just received confirmation that Mickey has signed on the dotted line to appear at WrestleMania. Apparently, Lords of Pain and I are on the same page cause Mickey made the same statement to Access Hollywood. I wouldn’t know about that cuz, I watched the E! Red Carpet Show.
