So looks like the Governator took some heat after the producer of Sylvester Stallone's new movie told us Arnold would leave Sacramento to shoot a scene for "The Expendables." Now Sly himself is telling us Arnold will not shoot the scene, at least not now.
Arnold's people and Sly say the Guv only has one thing on his mind right now and that's the budget crisis. Sly says things could change once Arnold solves California's woes. Read between the lines and it's pretty clear Arnold had a big PR problem by putting the Legislature on lockdown and then agreeing to go off and shoot a movie.
So -- Will Ahnold rescue Caleeefornia so he can do Sly's movie next month?
Stay tuned ...

Those ageless 62-year-old arms belong to none other than Sylvester Stallone.
Looks like Sly got a matching pair of legs with purchase.

Sylvester Stallone has some killer foosball moves -- but no facial ones! Rambotox strikes again!
The 61-year-old action fossil kept a stone face while playing table soccer at Puma's Urban Mobility party at the LG House in Malibu this weekend. His biceps aren't the only thing that are rock hard!
Sly knows that to be a great competitor, one can never let them see you sweat or smile or frown or ....

Sylvester Stallone thinks that Richard Gere's still mad at him for starting that whole gerbil-in-the, well, you know, story.
Stallone tells AintItCoolNews.com (via Rush & Molloy) that Gere continues to harbor a grudge (if not a rodent) because Gere believes it was Sly who started that ridiculous urban legend about Gere and the gerbil. Here's the deal: Gere and Stallone were on the set of 1974's "The Lords of Flatbush" and the two actors got into a tiff over lunch one day -- something about chicken grease, Sly's thigh, and a hot dog -- whereupon Stallone elbowed him in the side of the head.
The tension between the two actors became so fevered that Gere got kicked off the film, which still angers him today, apparently: "To this day [he] seriously dislikes me," says Sly, who adds, for the record, that he did not start the rodent rumor. Gere's rep had no comment.
Did Tom Lure J.Lo and Jim into the Church?
Could Jennifer Lopez and Jim Carrey be the latest high-profile converts to Scientology by Tom Cruise?
Lips flapped when J. Lo and funnyman Carrey were very visible guests at TomKat's Italian wedding extravaganza, with many wondering where their friendships might have started. But now,
says Page Six, it appears that the "mystery link" might be the Church of Scientology. Carrey is taking the introductory and beginner's courses right now, says a source, and Lopez has started talking the Scientology talk via her BFF Leah Remini, an avowed Church member.
Problems may emerge, however, as Lopez's husband Marc Anthony is a devout Catholic (though that didn't stop Katie Holmes). J. Lo's rep had no comment, and Carrey's flack says he's not taking classes.
Brad Goes Incognito in Big Apple
Brad Pitt tried to go all stealthy in a New York restaurant the other day – and it worked. Page Six says that the other day, the male half of Brangelina was in sci-fi-themed eatery Mars 2112 with son Maddox, where Brad gave the hostess the pseudonym "Jack M.," probably expecting to be winkingly "unrecognized." The woman actually
didn't recognize him, which amused Pitt.
Meanwhile, at the after-party for "The Good Shepherd" at Time Warner Center, Pitt played good waiter to Angelina Jolie, keeping her quenched with martinis and letting her do the necessary socializing with Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, and Harvey Weinstein, among others.
Party Favors: Rosie In Bed With GOP? ... Barker Donates $300,000 for Elephant ... Julia's Next Project: "Happiness"?
Rosie O'Donnell is now breaking bread with Republicans? The outwardly lefty O'Donnell recently had dinner at the New York apartment of well-known Republican fundraiser Georgette Mosbacher, says Page Six. When Mosbacher said that she was lacking donations for a rehab facility for wounded combat vets, Rosie offered $300K on the spot, which surprised Rosie's wife Kelli and her boss Barbara Walters as much as it did Mosbacher. Said Mosbacher, "There's hope for bipartisanship." ... Retiring game show host Bob Barker, who turned 83 yesterday, will give $300,000 to help an elephant from the Los Angeles Zoo to be housed in an animal sanctuary. The pledge will match donations to send Ruby, a 45-year-old African elephant, to a sanctuary in San Andreas, Calif. ... Julia Roberts is producing and possibly starring in a feature adaptation of the bestseller "Happiness Sold Separately," about a suburban wife and her withdrawal from her cheating husband,
reports Variety.

Sylvester Stallone celebrated his 60th birthday in Las Vegas this weekend, and the party looked like a who's who of aging celebrity toughs. Bruce Willis, James Caan and John Travolta all joined the festivities while Donald Trump praised the birthday boy and Arnold Schwarzenegger gave out hugs. Also present, but significantly less macho, was David Spade.
