Jacqueline Stallone, Sylvester`s mother, has been hooked on astrology ever since a stargazer told her she would have, not one, but three brilliant children, and the same number of busted marriages. ”It`s no secret that Sylvester confers with me on every project that he undertakes,” she writes in ”Star Power” (New American Library). ”In fact, his very first victory, with `Rocky,` happened because we jumped on a wicked Mercury Retrograde before it jumped on us!” Sly admits it`s all true. ”She has successfully predicted every major event in my life. I can say this is one momma who really knows best.”
Just exactly how did Deborah Norville get to be the cohost of ”Today”
at such a tender age of 31? ”Beats me,” she tells writer Richard Lalich in the Feb. 5 issue of US magazine. ”I wasn`t the kid who worked on the newspaper in high school, I didn`t run around with a tape recorder and do pretend interviews. This was not a job I had been playing at since I was 3, the way that some people will say that from the first taking of pen in hand, they wanted to be a writer.” Norville, who has been criticized by veteran
”Today” cohost Bryant Gumbel for being too cold and by the media for being too fluffy, says, ”It`s a little bit of the Goldilocks syndrome-either too hot or too cold.”
