Sylvester Stallone Partners with Gotti's Son
Published

Updated
TMZ has learned Sylvester Stallone is in serious talks with "Junior" John Gotti to make a movie about his mobster icon father, the late John Gotti.
Sources say Sly will play Gotti, who died in prison in 2002. The story is based on "Junior" John's recollections of his tumultuous relationship with his dad.
"The Dapper Don" was the boss of the Gambino crime family -- one of the most powerful mafia families ever.
Gotti was convicted in 1992 of committing 13 murders. "Junior" Gotti was convicted of racketeering and got out of prison in 2005. He was indicted for racketeering and murder conspiracy in 2008 but the case ended in a mistrial ... and then "Junior" wrote a children's book.
As for Sly playing Gotti -- good casting, we might add -- we're told the project is far enough along that he's ready to pick a screenwriter.

Bam Concussion Screwed Up 'Jackass 3-D' Shoot

Updated
Bam Margera has a pretty ridiculous problem on his hands -- he says the concussion he suffered this past weekend screwed up his upcoming shoot for "Jackass 3-D" ... because his stunt involved being hit in the head.
Bam tells TMZ he flew from West Chester, PA to Los Angeles yesterday so he and the boys could shoot the intro to the movie -- in which they're all supposed to take gnarly shots to the dome in 3-D slow motion.
Bam says his head-shot scene has to be rewritten because he suffered a concussion and internal bleeding on Saturday -- when he was allegedly attacked by a bat-wielding 59-year-old woman.
As for Bam's replacement scene ... it's probably gonna hurt anyway.

The Batmobile that George Clooney desperately wants you to forget was brought back from exile a few days ago ... so it could be hauled away to a mystery location in L.A.
Of course, the Batmobile -- seen here on a flatbed truck near the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank -- was featured in the 1997 atomic flop "Batman & Robin."
Funny, how not even six flame-throwing exhaust pipes could distract audiences from the nipples on Clooney's Batsuit.

Lindsay Lohan's Movie Excuse -- Total BS
Published
|
Updated
Lindsay Lohan made it clear to the court that she didn't wanna wear a SCRAM bracelet because she thought it would get in the way of an upcoming movie shoot in Texas -- problem is, no such shoot exists.
TMZ has contacted the producers of the only two motion picture projects Lindsay is currently attached to -- "Machete" and "Inferno" -- and they both made it very clear that LiLo has no business in Texas.
A rep for "Machete" tells us there ARE additional scenes being shot in Texas but, "according to the director, they don't include [Lindsay]."
As for "Inferno," a rep tells us, The Linda Lovelace biopic "doesn't plan on starting shooting 'till the beginning of August." Also, it's not being shot in Texas -- so the SCRAM bracelet would have no affect on that film either.
Lindsay's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, relayed Lohan's excuse to Judge Marsha Revel on Monday -- but the judge didn't buy it anyway ... and forced her to SCRAM it up.
