The Ducati Guy.....Mickey Rourke
Ducati Special Guest: Mickey Rourke
18 December 2006
During a visit in Italy, the film star, Micky Rourke, protagonist of “Year of the Dragon”, “Nine and ½ Weeks”, “Angel Heart” and the recent success “Sin City”, (with the sequel “Sin City 2” coming out soon) came to visit the Ducati factory.
Rourke just had to take the opportunity to touch one of his greatest passions: Ducati motorcycles, famous all over the world as a symbol of Italian style and passion.
Rourke came in to Ducati with his much loved canine friend, Loki. This little likeable Chihuahua even got a Ducati T-Shirt. During his visit, Rourke visited the entire company and showed great appreciation for the historical models in the Ducati Museum, symbols of Ducati’s glorious racing history. Before leaving Borgo Panigale, Rourke visited Ducati Corse and hopped on Loris Capirossi’s Desmosedici to see what it felt like and he stopped in for a snack at the Desmo Bar to visit with some people who work on the production line.
This film star was friendly and always ready to be photographed and to sign autographs. When he saw the Hypermotard and the 1098 Superbike he was literally shocked by their beauty and as a real fan of Cafè Racer he can’t wait to try the elegant black Sport 1000.

New Movie...?????
It's 3:45 am here on the east coast and my ass is still up.. I been working on the skinny among other things.. One of the other things was reading an aritcle ( The Independent UK) about Val Kilmer and much to my surprise, the article makes reference to one of Kilmer's upcoming film projects - where he portrays Mickey's brother.. I wish I had more info, but that's it...I checked out some sites to see if I could garner more info and found nothing. I decided to post the article ...cuz, its a good piece and I dig Kilmer - always have... Maybe now, I should go to bed..

Val Kilmer: No more Mr Bad Guy
He hasn't always enjoyed the best of reputations in Hollywood. It's all been a misunderstanding, he tells Lesley O'Toole
Published: 15 December 2006
"Please hire me again, Jerry Bruckheimer. Jerry, please." Val Kilmer is not entirely play-acting. Though spectacular in last year's hypnotic, noir-ish, crime thriller Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, he says the rush of admiration for his performance - and an electric double-act with Robert Downey Jr - has not translated to any perceptible career heat. He is thrilled, though, to be starring for Bruckheimer and his old Top Gun director Tony Scott in Déjà Vu, the sort of flashy action-drama that has become the domain of Scott, Bruckheimer, and Denzel Washington.
Twenty years ago Kilmer did not want to play second lead in Top Gun. Today, he has no qualms playing second fiddle to Washington, or third, even, after Jim Caviezel, who has a juicy role as a twisted patriot. As always, Kilmer steals scenes, obviously, if not perhaps deliberately. And he is equally obviously having fun, as evidenced in his playfulness on screen and his irresistible, joie de vivre in person.
"With a little break and some of these films I've done recently, I kind of feel like I've only just started. I really feel again that this is a fun job. I feel very excited about storytelling and life and acting right now. And I think that's because I took some time off. It's a hard business."
Kilmer knows this better than most. He has been the object of vitriol hurled from the mouths of Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, 1995) and John Frankenheimer (The Island of Dr Moreau, 1996). Yet today, he's a lamb. He also looks a thousand times better than his slightly doughy federal agent in Déjà Vu. Was the line already in the film about his character's having lost his looks? "Yeah, that was always there. You know, I started running round and training and all that stuff but I was hanging out with these FBI and DEA guys and they're just not like that. So I thought, 'I'll train on the next movie,' and started eating pasta."
He is still a very attractive man, who turns 47 on New Year's Eve, and is necessarily then a little more worn-looking than Top Gun's Iceman and, of course, Batman. He is also funny, confident, and immensely personable to boot, though he does have a tendency to talk 19 to the dozen.
"I really didn't take the business as seriously as a professional as I should have. We are all sensitive and I didn't realise just how sensitive we are. People like getting Christmas cards, you know."
Kilmer probably gets a lot of Christmas cards these days, at his remote (working) ranch outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. He clearly has a lot of friends in Hollywood (he is close to Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, for starters), as he always has. And if he has not enjoyed the career he might have, he admits it is as much due to his own decisions, as that reputation.
"You just don't turn down certain directors. You just don't. And I didn't realise how precious time is. I thought I could work with them again when I turned them down. I now realise I won't get another chance." Robert Altman and Francis Ford Coppola are just two.
"And I've turned down a lot of roles. The Insider is one. I don't regret that. And I turned down The Matrix, Laurence Fishburne's role."
Kilmer had worked with Déjà Vu's director Scott twice before, on the film that made him a movie star - 1986's Top Gun - and 1993's True Romance, in which he played Elvis. Kilmer is aware now that he owes him. "I didn't want to do Top Gun and I turned down a bunch of meetings with Tony. My agent was just torturing me, telling me, 'You're going to love him, he's a great guy,' so I went to meet him to get her off my back. So I meet him, listen to his deal, and then leave. As I pushed the button of the lift I heard this swooshing round the corner. The doors opened and Tony jumped in front of the lift and wouldn't let me leave. He went [now in a perfect Tony Scott impression], 'It's going to be great, man. There'll be jets and whooof! And I know you don't want to do it but your hair's going to be great!'"
Famously, Kilmer took the role and stardom followed. Two years later he made Willow, in which he co-starred with his wife-to-be, the British actress Joanne Whalley. They married in 1988, had two children - Mercedes, now 15, and Jack, 11 - and endured a difficult divorce in 1996.
He went on to do excellent work in the Nineties, in The Doors, Thunderheart, Tombstone and Heat. He also uses his profile for the benefit of the state he considers home, New Mexico. In 2002, Hollywood spent $3m filming in New Mexico, in 2006, $117m. "It's a very wonderful community for the United States, a tri-cultural Latino and Native American one. But there is extreme poverty, as in many Native American communities."
Kilmer says he also works for Habitat for Humanity, which aims to eliminate poverty housing. "I'm not a bad guy," he says at one point, in the resigned tone of one certain he will spend his immediate future having to prove it. "I'm very boring. I've never been in a fist-fight my whole life."
Kilmer insists Kiss Kiss Bang Bang did not readily translate into a slew of shiny, irresistible, offers. "I wish." It was not the first time Kilmer had been funny on film, but it seems to have re-ignited a long-dormant dream to laugh more. "It is so great to go to work and laugh all day long. Or all night long on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Most of it was shot at night, which is usually just exhausting but the sun would be coming up and I'd be upset because I just wanted to keep laughing."
Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr are actively looking for a comedy to make together, and I remind him of something he mentioned during an interview he gave in London last year. It was a Danny Boyle project about a period train heist that he mused might be something for the pair. "Yes!" Kilmer announces, excitedly. "One of the million Wilson brothers was going to do it. Or was it Hugh Grant? But thanks. I'm going to write another note to myself." He duly does so. "Danny Boyle is awfully good. I saw Shallow Grave when it came out and I wrote his name down then, like I am now."
Kilmer also has his own production company in Los Angeles. But his children also live there. His daughter Mercedes attends the same exclusive private school as one of Steven Spielberg's daughter, his son Jack one equally expensive and elite. "She just won the championship for debating here, which means she's the best arguer of all the kids in LA. I called the ex-wife and went, 'Look at the size of this trophy!' But then I realised all it's going to do is make her haughtier. She's 15 now so she's been arguing for 13 years and now she's got a trophy to prove it. She'll be like, 'Dad, I want a car.' And she'll probably point to the trophy and say, 'Don't make me prove it.'"
On his list of upcoming jobs are playing brothers with Mickey Rourke, a play and movie with high-school pal Kevin Spacey, a film about Mark Twain based on a biography he is writing, and a musical. But laughter is paramount. "I want Owen Wilson's life. I'd do nothing but comedies for the next five years if I could."

I saw Shallow Grave when it came out and I wrote his name down then, like I am now."
Kilmer also has his own production company in Los Angeles. But his children also live there. His daughter Mercedes attends the same exclusive private school as one of Steven Spielberg's daughter, his son Jack one equally expensive and elite. "She just won the championship for debating here, which means she's the best arguer of all the kids in LA. I called the ex-wife and went, 'Look at the size of this trophy!' But then I realised all it's going to do is make her haughtier. She's 15 now so she's been arguing for 13 years and now she's got a trophy to prove it. She'll be like, 'Dad, I want a car.' And she'll probably point to the trophy and say, 'Don't make me prove it.'"
On his list of upcoming jobs are playing brothers with Mickey Rourke, a play and movie with high-school pal Kevin Spacey, a film about Mark Twain based on a biography he is writing, and a musical. But laughter is paramount. "I want Owen Wilson's life. I'd do nothing but comedies for the next five years if I could."

Sad Really
I just read Stephys post below, and I have to say...Stephy is passionate, not hot tempered (wink, wink) but she speaks the truth. Many people may say alot of crap about us, but we have never deviated from what we believe in, the truth. The truth is a touchy thing, mostly because no one really wants to hear it. Either that, or they want a sugar coated version. Sugar coated isnt happening here, never has and nerver will. But judging from the feedback Steph and I recieve, people respect that about us and enjoy it.
And yes, some unscrupulous people did join our Myspace account and spread some kinda funky thing around. To those who are friends of Mickeys and to others. I guess someone had their pants down in the ole hacker/virus dept. of things, but then again, I dont think these poeple have brains enough to figure it out. They will now, since they and their friends are readers of this Blog. Good...fix your damn puter!! Sheesh, if you want to try and spy on us, at least have your computer in shape!
How did we get ISP addys may be a topic of hot convo...well Myspace tech help is a great thing, that is, when you can get thru the BS and make contact with someone real over there!! But, thankfully Myspace takes viruses and hackers very seriously Ive come to find out. YAY for Myspace in regards to that. We've also taken steps to retain people to track it for us, on top of that. So, I guess you could say we are working in tandem with Myspace on the issue. Mostly though, I feel bad for the people that have nothing to do with the one who has the messed up computer and is carrying this and speading it like a bad case of VD....yes, I mean Mickeys friends who contracted it from said person. They are not amused.
I agree with Steph, different strokes for different folks, or so the song says. At least there is a choice, and people have the freedom to make choices as to what websites and places on the web they are going to visit. No, we at UniquelyRourke are not into building an army nor demanding people choose us over any other website out there. Hey, come and go as ya please, we are not into running our website like some sort of cult, that would be ludacris and not to mention a bit whacked. We do what we do, like Ive said before...either ya like it or ya dont. Whichever way you feel is fine by us, but we are laid back like that..not type A personality types....ish, so not us.
Stephy calls me the diplomat..haha! She is something else! ;o)
Truth is Im just a laid back kind of person as always. Has this gotten under my skin or made me mad, or hypervenalative? Nope, not in the least. I point this out, only because I know as usual, when I check my email after I post this...it will soon be filled with the how dare they, dont let em getcha down, keep doing what your doing kind of emails. Those emails are so supportive and really are a breath of fresh air....but due to the high volume of them, I feel bad when I cant respond to each one in a timely manner....really though, thik about it this way from my perspective, there are bigger things in the world happening that are way more important than thinking about a tin can filled with smelly fish.

An All Time Low..Even For A Tuna...
ON Nov. 19, I wrote a skinny, pertaining to the German Maxim Magazine. The jest of it was this.. Mickey poised for some photo's and did an interview. A couple of these photo's - included a beautiful woman who's name is Jen Pae..let me just say this woman is not only beautiful on the outside - she's also has a beautiful - inner self. She is a warm , funny, smart & a geninuely nice person. Sista' and I believe this is what pushed them to the edge.. A hot chick and her friendship with Mickey. A bit whacked.. Right?
Let me contine with the story of As The Tuna World Turns - : )
When the skinny was posted on the 19th we were slammed...with friend requests at myspace. As I previously stated, our profile has been privatized, due to all the problems we have had with the tunas aka other rourke sites. Anyway, they slid past us.. I guess you could say - it was my fault - they slipped by, however..they should have known we would find out and they should have known - when I found out I was going to call em' for the pathetic human beings they are -- We hadn't heard anything from them for weeks.. here we are thinking..Oh maybe they are gonna leave us alone..and go about their business...Sista' and I were like great. Everyone can do their own thing and move on.. OH NO.. they just couldn't let it go..
I don't know what the tuna's are like in real life, therefore I can' comment...but when it comes to Mickey Rourke - they will do anything to get next to him.. Even make-up a fake id.. too get close to his friends...my question is.. if they are this devious on a web site ..what does that say for them as human beings. The things Sista' and I have written about (the tunas) came from fans... Tuna's you need to realize - at times - your site visitors - didn't like the vindictive nature of your sites -
Needless to say, the moral support we have recieve has been tremendous.. We come from a good place..and good people can see that and good people can also spot JEALOUS and CRUELITY from a mile away...
AS for the tuna's and why they felt the need to use a fake id - to get on our site could be for numerous reason's. Their joining our myspace friends list on the very day of our skinny of Nov 19th is a dead give away or they could be pissed at what Sista' and I have written about them, but, whenever we wrote about them and their latest shennigans - we always had the facts to back it up.. Tuna's, since you need to know - the drill went something like this...whenever you wrote some kinda BS about us or Mickey - a fan would send it to us - the facts were in that email. We would never write something up if the facts weren't in front of me. Why the tuna's got pissed off at us - is something we never grasped. Clearly, the words were theirs and ....Sure we used those very words against them, but, only to prove - what they said about us or Mickey - wasn't true. Listen Tuna's - if a member of your group believes you are being unfair and unjust in your rambling's about us and Mickey - yes, in the past, your post were sent to us. And in all fairness, we had a right to defend ourselves against their allegations. Listen up tuna's - For Godsake's it only a damn web site and myspace. If we wanted you to join our private profile..we would have ventured over to your neck of the woods and sent you an add request.
Why the tuna's feel threatened is beyond my comprehension. We have never once felt threatened by them. Their downfall was thier continous untruths about us, Mickey and even former friends. Here's the deal Tuna's - you lied about us/others - at that moment - ya'll decided - ya'll wanted to take us on .. like another web site owner you ran off. Silly isn't it. The tuna's have turned this in to some kind of internet - OK Corral -Hello Tuna's. the bad guys lost or gave up. Let it go, we aren't going anywhere and this ain't the ole west.
This last fishing expedition of the tuna's all rested upon a virus that was traced back to them - that's how we found out they had slipped onto our myspace friends list. Yep, one of the tuna's - has a virus and the real kicker is ..not only did they give it to us, our friends - but they passed it to along to a friend of Mickey Rourke's. See when the tuna's -- were going to Mickey's friend's pages..checking them out - they left a lil' present (virus) for a couple of em'. Thank Goodness not all of em' got it & getting this info cost me some dough. How odd..was it to learn the tuna/tuna's were on our myspace and the way we found out - they were on myspace goes to show - what goes around comes around. You tuna's once again have egg - all over your face. A virus called you out. How did we find out..Well, we simply contacted myspace & another service...and the virus was traced. Its not like it was some kind of complicated virus. Just one of those myspace things.. We also have a tracking of all the days you were on our myspace ...and the dumbest thing you did..was read our myspace blog and click the link to our web site..DUH!!! It shows up ..HELLO!
This next surprise diddy is for them....it won't have much value for those reading this...
The records given to us - of our myspace account - shows your - isp address.. oh yeah, Cousin It.. if ya didn't know it.. you register as Stanford NC & Lemon Springs.. and we notice how you tried to hide your isp..DUH! it didn't work. I'll save you and the queen a lil' embarassment by not putting up the number's to your isp..but keep pushing me...

On Sunday, Nov 26, we cleaned house on myspace...and no more tuna's...YAY!!!
If I come off harsh, well I just can't help it. I am a very intense chick, with a hot temper.... and I think the frustration associated is my trying to wrap my brain around their.... indecent obsession with Mickey Rourke - you would think it would be all they have done to us, but, no its just what I stated...and you know what- I'm not doing it anymore. It is pointless exercise, due to the fact, ...I can't think on that level of a twisted reality -- And now.. they have gone and spoiled it for all those Fans who are legit & who want to be a part of our myspace...these folks... will find it more difficult to join.. We made our myspace profile private for a reason. We only let those folks in ..who we think is gonna respect those who know Mickey and respect the rights of all who are on our site..
So, tuna's - we know the routine after you read one of our blogs or the skinny - you get on your sites and groups ..and tell everyone how horrible we are ..and how we are ruining your reputations..but the thing you need to do..as I've previously stated before,is go look in the mirror.. remember you just shit on Rourke fans and now a couple of long time friends of Mickey Rourke... and why .. cuz, you just couldn't take it .. your selfish and you think you deserve something more than you haven't earned. When are you gonna get it.. some people like our site and others like yours. We are different people and you're angry - that you've never been able to control us.... It really irrates the F#$k outta ya - that the very chicks - you guys treated like pieces of sh!t..are now running a pretty damn good Rourke site..(at least that is what we have been told)
Just think... if it weren't for that lil' ole virus.. we never would have known those tuna's were even on our myspace. Payback is a bitch !!!
ps.. camden .. I hope this satisfies you....

He's A Man - With A Plan...
MICKEY ROURKE claims he has mellowed with age and now only uses physical violence as a last resort. The 50-year-old insists he now asks questions first and no longer jumps in with his fists. Rourke says, "The other day, there's some drunk guy giving me shit in a restaurant. "So I gave him the benefit of the doubt and I said to the waitress, 'I want you to watch this. If he touches me, I'm going to knock him right the fuck out.' And they got rid of him. "Whereas in the old days I would have just punched him in the mouth. "He was being really rude and obnoxious, but I'm now able to evaluate and see what the consequences are."

FYI ( New Article )
check out the December 2006 issue of Arena (UK) -- The article is called The Revenge of Mickey Rourke...Oh the fun I will have - trying to track this magazine down....here's a quote from that issue...
******Mickey Rourke has some choice words for Hollywood******
"It's not really about acting. It's about the publicity. It's about which idiot is going out with this one, which idiot had a baby. In real life, people have babies all the time it's no big . . . deal."
Cheers

He Should Know.....
Matt Damon says that the person who gave him the best advice about Hollywood was Mickey Rourke. “He sat me down and said, ‘Don’t mouth off to people in Hollywood, like I did,’” Damon told Aussie magazine NW. Rourke continued: “You gotta be on time and disciplined. I [bleeping] blew it.”

Let Me Clairify Something
I wanna thank those people who have kept us informed of the misleading info - being dished on message boards, groups etc. Most might think they are snitches etc... but basically, what they are doing - is saying enough is enough...I know when I belonged to a certain group this type of bashing and back stabbing was never permitted to happen. And that is what those folks remember. A time when this place was a good place. Now it's just full of hostile people who believe they are Gods of all thing Rourke.
Furthermore - when the topic of convo is us - you're damn right we wanna know. Only people who have something to hide - express their views in such a way. The Holier Than Thou Brigade - know us. In fact, when one of them started their site a few yrs ago and there was a lot turmoil about it - I gotta admit - she got hit hard - for starting her site - and you know what -I was there saying..Hey good for you! as was Sista' - OH how they forget. And now she has the gall - to do what- was done to her - to us. I still have the email I sent her. Telling her to hang in there.
As for the Queen.. I never trusted her and that is my right. Now for the worm..(at least I don't use this person's name - like he did us) believe it or not - we were friends a long time ago. We did the news together. At one time ( a couple of yrs ago) I was a co-moderator of one of his yahoo groups. I don't know what happened. All of a sudden - this person got a stick up his ass - and decided I was the enemy. I have no idea what set this person off..except maybe - someone filled this person's head with nonsense. What's strange is this person knows that I am a no BS kinda chick - so why he would think I'd lie is beyond me. The worm has seen me in action - defending people who were under attack by certain persons. I would write this person and say hey I'm sorry but that wasn't right what they did and he would be like - it didn't bother me - oh did I mention he was a co-moderator back in the day when the group I mentioned was run by him & another person. He was a great moderator. I wouldn't take that from him. Back in the day - he never would have tolerated this behaviour nor would he talk the way he does now. This person use to be a fair minded individual . I suppose hate does that to the best of em'
Now, the Queen is trying to cover her ass. This was just sent to me. I want to boldly state to all those who read this.. Sista' nor myself have ever contacted any of her friends. Only person we have contacted is the one is South Florida. She once again - LIES - Also we, have been told we tampered with their words. These people are the real deal. Like I've always said the truth is way too good...Strange how they wanna deny they wrote those things. This denial stuff was to be expected. I mean they come over here and read their words. Can you imagine - how dumb they must feel...
Some of the Queen's words - implying we emailed a few of her friends. certain friends of ours have been approached
by others. it was not appreciated and it took a few days to iron out the probs &
we simply do not want this to be repeated.
Here's another HAHA! kinda thing. They want their privacy. Oh but you can come over to our site and screw with us but - how dare we take you on. Sorry, we don't roll over and play dead.
We were again, slammed for speaking the names of people who - spoke to us on the record. Meaning there names appear on our site with permission. Are they the only ones we know.. Nope.. those remain nameless but, when you call some of Rourke's closest friends liars. Then you are gonna be sorry for it. Mickey's friends have been really good to us. Always, telling us what is true and what is Bullsh!t..
So the least we can do.. Is say wait a minute - They don't lie.
Have A Good Sunday
Furthermore - when the topic of convo is us - you're damn right we wanna know. Only people who have something to hide - express their views in such a way. The Holier Than Thou Brigade - know us. In fact, when one of them started their site a few yrs ago and there was a lot turmoil about it - I gotta admit - she got hit hard - for starting her site - and you know what -I was there saying..Hey good for you! as was Sista' - OH how they forget. And now she has the gall - to do what- was done to her - to us. I still have the email I sent her. Telling her to hang in there.
As for the Queen.. I never trusted her and that is my right. Now for the worm..(at least I don't use this person's name - like he did us) believe it or not - we were friends a long time ago. We did the news together. At one time ( a couple of yrs ago) I was a co-moderator of one of his yahoo groups. I don't know what happened. All of a sudden - this person got a stick up his ass - and decided I was the enemy. I have no idea what set this person off..except maybe - someone filled this person's head with nonsense. What's strange is this person knows that I am a no BS kinda chick - so why he would think I'd lie is beyond me. The worm has seen me in action - defending people who were under attack by certain persons. I would write this person and say hey I'm sorry but that wasn't right what they did and he would be like - it didn't bother me - oh did I mention he was a co-moderator back in the day when the group I mentioned was run by him & another person. He was a great moderator. I wouldn't take that from him. Back in the day - he never would have tolerated this behaviour nor would he talk the way he does now. This person use to be a fair minded individual . I suppose hate does that to the best of em'
Now, the Queen is trying to cover her ass. This was just sent to me. I want to boldly state to all those who read this.. Sista' nor myself have ever contacted any of her friends. Only person we have contacted is the one is South Florida. She once again - LIES - Also we, have been told we tampered with their words. These people are the real deal. Like I've always said the truth is way too good...Strange how they wanna deny they wrote those things. This denial stuff was to be expected. I mean they come over here and read their words. Can you imagine - how dumb they must feel...
Some of the Queen's words - implying we emailed a few of her friends. certain friends of ours have been approached
by others. it was not appreciated and it took a few days to iron out the probs &
we simply do not want this to be repeated.
Here's another HAHA! kinda thing. They want their privacy. Oh but you can come over to our site and screw with us but - how dare we take you on. Sorry, we don't roll over and play dead.
We were again, slammed for speaking the names of people who - spoke to us on the record. Meaning there names appear on our site with permission. Are they the only ones we know.. Nope.. those remain nameless but, when you call some of Rourke's closest friends liars. Then you are gonna be sorry for it. Mickey's friends have been really good to us. Always, telling us what is true and what is Bullsh!t..
So the least we can do.. Is say wait a minute - They don't lie.
Have A Good Sunday
New Interview...
Hey Tuna's and Worm - Hope you enjoy the interview....
I've included the link - if ya wanna check out the pics...
Don't forget ...copy and paste. I don't have the power Sista' does...
(All fixed now Stephy..YAY!)

Q&A
Living in Oblivion
Hollywood's bad boy emeritus talks about his ties to John Gotti, blowing his career, and the bitch who split his lip
By Jeb Reed
HUMBLE FISH Mickey Rourke is older and, after years of therapy, wiserThe first paragraph of any story written about Mickey Rourke since 1990 can be summarized in three words: He fucked up. The actor, whose raw, magnetic performances in films like Rumble Fish, Barfly, Diner, and Angel Heart once drew comparisons to Brando, knows this better than anyone. He fucked up. And he'll let you know it twenty times in the course of an hour. In those dark years, Rourke tormented directors and producers and led the kind of private life that would make your average Serbian gangster feel like a pansy. There were reports of drug abuse and domestic violence, and the constant company of strippers and lowlives—but mostly there were his ties to a criminal underworld most Hollywood actors only experience on camera. Rourke knew John Gotti well enough to attend his murder trial in 1992, but his only statement about their friendship until now has been "No comment." In an interview with Radar, Rourke, 50, finally opens up about the mob ties, tells us how he met his Chihuahua soul mate, and pinpoints the moment he realized he was completely insane.
RADAR: You've said your favorite among your films is The Pope of Greenwich Village. It's kind of like Little Italy's version of
Midnight Cowboy.
MICKEY ROURKE: We shot that back when there was actually a Little Italy. Which, you know, there really isn't anymore.
Since it's become a theme park?
Well, right. The Italians don't live there now. You can have a pizza, but that's about it. It was nice back then because you had all the old timers. Stuart [Rosenberg] was able to capture that ambiance using good old-time actors. Tony Musante and other guys. It was probably the most fun I've had on a movie.
Did you get to know the neighborhood pretty well?
Well, let's put it this way: I made certain associations with people. I met some really interesting, shady characters that I maintained relationships with until I went to therapy. But I don't want to get into that too much.
Understood. You've been very diligent about the therapy though, haven't you?
Yeah. It was something that I was totally against. But, Jesus, I needed to go. I knew I was a little out there, but I didn't realize my shit was crazy till my doctor told me. Listen, I changed. But there is still something inside of me that is never going to change. If those buttons are pushed, all hell is still going to break loose.
Since you returned to acting, there's lots of discussion about whether you're "reformed." Do you ever feel like people just want you to become a boring schlub?
People see that whatever-you-want-to-call-it in me and it scares a lot of them. But if I have that in me and I'm not putting my hand through someone's head, then they should chill the fuck out. The guys who are afraid are the ones who were around when I was just starting out. The younger directors like Rodriguez and Aronofsky that I'm working with now aren't afraid of it. I also just recently got offered a Tarantino movie that I didn't—that I chose not to do.
SLIPPING HER THE MICKEY Rourke has taken many loversAfter turning down Pulp Fiction, why did you pass up the opportunity to work with Tarantino on his latest project, Grindhouse?
You know what? He hasn't made any comments about it. And until he makes a comment about it, I'm not going to say anything. It just didn't work out. And I hope that's what he has to say. I'm just going to wait.
Do you still feel drawn to outlaw characters like Tupac?
Yeah. Tupac and I had a lot in common, even though we were very fucking different. You know, I don't come from the hip-hop world. But we both had a certain upbringing.
Have you heard about John Gotti's prison uniform? Somebody's giving it away in postage-stamp-sized squares.
So, I guess you know that we were friends. Is that right?
There's been speculation.
You know what? I had a relationship with John that was like—if I wanted to do research on that lifestyle, or whatever you want to call it, he was there for me. You know what I'm saying?
Sure.
I'll give you an example. We were watching a soccer game one time during the World Cup, and Italy and Ireland were playing. I said, "John"—because he, you know, liked to gamble—I said, "I'll take Ireland." And Italy was favored up the ass, right? But Ireland ended up winning the fucking game. And before that I said to John, "What do you want to bet? Ten grand? Whatever? Whatever you want to do." He says, "No, no. I'm never going to take your money. Let's bet watches." Right? I'll tell you something. His friends came over three weeks later and brought me the most beautiful fucking watch I've ever seen. Autographed, "To Mick, All the best. JG."
So he was a good friend?
Listen, I don't know what the fuck he did behind closed doors. But the fact that he goes, "I'm not gonna take your money"—see, because I was supposed to lose that fucking bet. I would have bought him a really nice watch, but it probably would have been $10,000 less than the one he bought me.
So that was part of your research?
What I'm trying to say to you is, back when I was a lot younger and doing Pope, I was very, very interested in that lifestyle. You know? Very curious about that whole world. He opened doors you don't fucking want to walk into. Let me tell you something, brother, it wasn't all roses.
It sounds like you got gored by Sammy the Bull.
[Long pause] No.
In any case, you had a Catholic background in common with those guys.
Yeah, I'm Irish and French.
The practicing Catholics I know are either traditionalists or they've had a religious experience. What's the draw for you?
It's changed a lot for me. I went to Catholic school for a few years with the nuns and all that stuff. It goes way deep in your brain when they crack you on the knuckles with a ruler. But there were times when my younger brother was very ill and he was supposed to die, and my grandmother told me what saint to pray to. Each time he was supposed to die, he ended up living. So it became something in my life that was very important to me. Every few years Joe would get sick and—bing!—it would be right back to the saint.
But that changed at some point?
He died a year and a half ago. That's why I say that stuff was a part of my life. I've had a hard time with my beliefs because of the way he died [cancer] and how he suffered. Having my kid brother die in my arms and just seeing the life go out of him, it was ... it was ... Joey was my younger brother. The way my mind works, your kid brother isn't supposed to die first.
Does the suffering in your own life incline you to reach out to the less fortunate?
The only thing I do in that area is work with rescued dogs in shelters, try and find them homes. Mainly Chihuahuas.
JAWS OF LIFE Mickey's canine support teamYou and Chihuahuas. What's the attraction?
I always had big dogs. Then my [ex-] wife brought home a Chihuahua. It had a cough that night. I remember going down to the kitchen and sleeping with the dog, holding her. I felt bad for her. Man, that was sixteen years ago, and I've had Chihuahuas ever since. Here's how I got my dog Jaws: I went down to the animal rescue place in L.A. They have all these dogs that they're going to put to sleep because they're all products of incest—fucked up that way. They're all violent bitches. I picked this dog up to look at him, and he bit me on the lip. There was blood all over the place and stuff—it needed stitches. Swollen out to here. Then I saw the name on the cage was Little Mickey. I couldn't believe it. I looked at him and said, "Motherfucker...." Then I turned to the lady and said, "I'll take him." What really got to me though ... he would sit in the chair across the room from my bed. All the other dogs would be in my bed and then about two in the morning, he would scream. I thought, What the fuck?
What do you think was the problem?
See, these damaged dogs—they're like people. I know damn well when I look in this dog's eyes that somebody abused him—beat the fuck out of this little guy for years. I know about that stuff from my own life. But he's not even that little. He's the most muscular Chihuahua you've ever seen.
Do you have him on 'roids?
No, but he looks like a mini pit bull. And he's got the biggest fucking teeth for a Chihuahua.
So the dogs are your support system?
I come home and I've got five dogs here, and they've all got different personalities. It's almost like I've got a—almost like five friends I come home to. I've lived alone for almost ten years, and it's really nice. As much as they need me, I need them.
One of your most famous roles is Henry Chinaski in Barfly. How was that film to make?
The director [Barbet Schroeder] was kind of an asshole, but the project was very interesting. Bukowski was on the set. I liked Charlie. Charlie was cool with me. I was never a Bukowski fanatic or anything. I did enjoy reading a few of his books, but, you know, it wasn't like he was Tennessee Williams to me.
TO LIVE AND CRY IN L.A. Underneath, the former tough guy is all heartBukowski and Williams were both big drinkers. You never were, right?
Well, no. My father died from drinking at 47 years old. His brothers died from drinking in their thirties and forties. My grandpa and his father in their late thirties. I didn't want to make a movie about anything having to do with drinking or glorifying it. The director kept chasing me around for 12 months, and I kept saying no. I just wasn't interested in the material. I didn't even know who Bukowski was, to tell you the truth. But I read a couple of his books, and when I didn't have a project I gave it some thought and ended up doing it.
Who was a better Chinaski—Matt Dillon in Factotum, or you?
I haven't seen that movie.
We should talk about Stormbreaker, this new kids' movie you're in....
Aw, God. Oh. I was afraid of that. Well, I can say, I liked being in London. It was almost like, Should I just hang out in London and raise hell, or should I go to work a couple days a week?
Make some money.
Exactly.
You play a billionaire in the mold of a James Bond villain. You dress in silk, walk with a very elegant cane, and keep a toothpick in your mouth. I'm guessing the toothpick was your touch?
I don't really work with wardrobe people—I like to do it myself. The toothpick I didn't remember till you brought it up. Yeah, I wanted the toothpick. And I'll tell you where the cane came from: Two weeks before the movie started, I had my appendix taken out, and I was really weak because they had to do it twice—
Take your appendix out twice? That sucks.
And I couldn't walk either. I was in the hospital, and I'm thinking, Aw, fuck, I've gotta go to work in two weeks. I started walking with a cane. Then I read the script and thought, Might as well keep it.
You were definitely the high point of the movie.
I knew before I did this movie that I was going to work with John Madden on Killshot [based on the Elmore Leonard novel]. I think that movie is the best work I've done for 15 years. Fucking guy is just incredible to work with. So I felt like it was okay to just have fun doing this other thing. But, I mean, I don't want to knock it. That would be Old Mickey.
Stormbreaker is now in theaters. Killshot is scheduled for a spring '07 release.

Merry Go Round..and round...and round
After perusing the latest shenanigans that have made their way into my inbox one thought crosses my mind...Visit my post Merry Go Round...need I really say more? More wildly concocted threats hurled at our website, and at us. Some people really thrive on any kind of attention, even if it is in the negative sense. Mundane really, unless certain people enjoy living a life full of dramatics, because thats all they really have left to hold on to. What a sad and sorrowful exsistance, needing to hide behind a computer screen for false bravado and try to start something all because they have nothing better to do in their own life. Last I heard there are plenty of charitable organizations that are looking for help. That would certainly be time better spent. It may even earn that person some well needed good karma, cuz its widely known, this person has built up a whole boatload of bad karma, and when those old hens come home to roost, it's going to be quite the spectacle.

Tuna Drama... YAWN YAWN
OMG! Here's the latest... We are in BIG trouble now... Yeah. Right. I guess they are sending the big guns ...ooh, we're soo scared. Get over yourselves - it's just a freakin' web site. You guys truly are a waste of breathe - but you are so funny -we can't resist. The stuff you guys say is beyond stupid. It's a good laugh and fans seem to enjoy it. HAHAHA! Hey, when you guys complain about us ..Aren't you off topic? Oh that right, as long as you talk about your Queen & how victimized she is ..then it's ok.
Hey Sista'- how many times does Mickey appear in 1941 ... Oh that's right- you don't have the time or the inclination to sit and watch frame by frame - to check out Mickey's every move... Hello, can you say stalker or is more like the -I wish I were Mickey Rourke Syndrome
Our mailboxes runneth over this morning... See what we have to deal with... Isn't it sad and pathetic... Will their immaturity ever cease. Oh by the way, what people send us - is public domain... myspace nor yahoo belongs to you... duh! At least we say it on a public forum so you losers( meaning the tuna's and the worm) can read it. The bold comments are from Sista' and myself... responding to all this dripple...
Here is the Queen words... As we have verified on many occassion's no one important has heard of her....least of all... MICKEY ROURKE
oh, i'm not that tough..
but i CAN cook.. ( maybe you have one redeeming quality )
i also don't stoop to low Gestapo ( you're calling us nazi's - I don't recall Sista'or myself, rounding up Jews (that was a primary use of the Gestapo) then torturing them or even killing them. Ahh, nor have we ever had a part in sending anyone to a concentration camp. You just stooped to the lowest level. what next we had a role in the assination of Martin Luther King Jr. You are so ignorant and selfish. to compare yourself to those who have suffered the worst things known to mankind. Shame on you...You narcissistic way of thinking - makes you look foolish..(btw) Duh! we are on the computer you dink. A tough way of practicing Gestapo tactics.) I tactics in order to get attention. (no attention grabbing is your department of expertise)
nor do i attack well-meaning people unnecessarily (Yeah, what's that ole saying - I bet you take the dishes outta the sink - before you squat to take a piss) that's stemmed from jealous insecurities and exclusive to those who are.
i am neither jealous or insecure. ( Wow... you really need to prove something don't you)but it has come to my attention that members of our forum are now

(no down-time with my day job. i don't have the luxury of being that bored)(ahh, but you are bored. You spend way to much time worrying about what we are doing.)
also, i am simply not that mean and hateful regarding people i don't even know(oh yes you are - we've been shown - what you write about us and Mickey on your other sites - as many as you have - you are quite bored) who
don't know me in the least with the exception of what they have heard from others.(you so easily forget - we heard your voice - we know of you calling fans up to 15 times a day - talking all whacked out.)

Ahh, Hey worm - why do you keep coming back to our site...if we don't say anything..why are you so interested. You're there morning , evening, late night, and inbetween. Do you have a life? Could someone be a lil' pissed that he got kicked off a particular friend's list. In the end.. We never publish - what other's say about Mickey Rourke. We only get what people send us about us. We just decided to start posting this because more people are asking about these folks and what proof did we have that they are talking about us. Here it is....
As you can see.. their elementry school - playground bully tactics are still in full swing. Grow up...Sista' and I stopped playing on the swings and the merry-go round years ago..
Here's the latest..Queenie is screaming - we are giving her free press over Mickey..No - we are calling you out as a liar. You've done nothing but lie about Mickey Rourke, his family and others. As for her saying she has been told about what we write.. Ahh, we have the proof she has been here at the Realm today - yesterday and beyond.. I'm telling ya.. all that horse manure is frying this broad's brain...

Hey Sista'- how many times does Mickey appear in 1941 ... Oh that's right- you don't have the time or the inclination to sit and watch frame by frame - to check out Mickey's every move... Hello, can you say stalker or is more like the -I wish I were Mickey Rourke Syndrome
Our mailboxes runneth over this morning... See what we have to deal with... Isn't it sad and pathetic... Will their immaturity ever cease. Oh by the way, what people send us - is public domain... myspace nor yahoo belongs to you... duh! At least we say it on a public forum so you losers( meaning the tuna's and the worm) can read it. The bold comments are from Sista' and myself... responding to all this dripple...
Here is the Queen words... As we have verified on many occassion's no one important has heard of her....least of all... MICKEY ROURKE
oh, i'm not that tough..
but i CAN cook.. ( maybe you have one redeeming quality )
i also don't stoop to low Gestapo ( you're calling us nazi's - I don't recall Sista'or myself, rounding up Jews (that was a primary use of the Gestapo) then torturing them or even killing them. Ahh, nor have we ever had a part in sending anyone to a concentration camp. You just stooped to the lowest level. what next we had a role in the assination of Martin Luther King Jr. You are so ignorant and selfish. to compare yourself to those who have suffered the worst things known to mankind. Shame on you...You narcissistic way of thinking - makes you look foolish..(btw) Duh! we are on the computer you dink. A tough way of practicing Gestapo tactics.) I tactics in order to get attention. (no attention grabbing is your department of expertise)
nor do i attack well-meaning people unnecessarily (Yeah, what's that ole saying - I bet you take the dishes outta the sink - before you squat to take a piss) that's stemmed from jealous insecurities and exclusive to those who are.
i am neither jealous or insecure. ( Wow... you really need to prove something don't you)but it has come to my attention that members of our forum are now
being quoted elsewhere! now THAT makes me (and Yahoo! Groups) angry!

Merry Go Round
Its been brought to my attention that a select few individuals, who need to feel self important, have again started a bunch of crap with our website (uniquelyrourke) and our Myspace page. Hmmm, hate is a ugly emotion, it brings out the worst in people and fuels many irrational actions. Not many things get under my skin, and this latest attack hasnt either. Many ask why and how it does not get under my skin...my answer is always the same...consider the source it comes from, its stupid really. That response is always met with laughter, for its so true. Speaking of the truth, it is hard to swallow for some people. Thus, people spend countless hours scheming up ways to try and present their lies as truth. What wasted time, scurrying around, spending your life trying to convince others that your lie is a truth. Recruiting friends and family under false pretenses. Duping Mickey Rourke fans with concocted stories and falseities that are unfounded. When backed into a corner with the truth exposing your deceit, desperation ensues. A merry go round effect....so sad people just cant be honest, however, historically certain personality types and mental states just cant grasp the truth, preferring to exsist in a fantasy land/altered reality state instead.
It has also come to my attention, via fans who feel the need to send me things, that I am being called a liar in who I know and yada yada. I dont feel the need to crow about who I know, who I dont, nor make up tall tales in order to try to convince people otherwise. Those who know me, know that Im a straight shooter, tight lipped and extremley trustworthy. So no, Im not going to spout off in order to make myself look better about anybody who I converse with, email with, nor message back and fourth with. If I did, I would sink to a level that would be unacceptable to me as a person, and go against my *grain*. The proof is in the pudding, if you need proof, check out one of countless examples, the page on uniquelyrourke titled LA Woman. I do believe you will find sufficent evidence there.
Still yearning for more? LOL!! Ok, we'll, I did have an intense, enlightening conversation with a few people who are very close to Mickey when our web designers plate got too full. I was told, directly in my ear... Im so sorry to hear that about your web designer. Whatever you do, your website must stay up. That is the snippet from that particular very informative conversation that Im comfortable sharing. Again, Im not into blabbering and running my mouth about the people I speak with...if I did, I wouldnt expect them to speak with me anymore. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would feel the same way to be bluntly honest. Who likes a blabbermoth anyway? In all my years of working with, hanging out with celebrities, rock and rollers ect ect, one resounding theme is...dont go running your mouth about what they said or who you know, because that is the last time you will ever talk with or see them again. I respect their privacy, and I expect them to respect mine in return.
In retrospect I suppose this latest attempt at discrediting our websites, Steph and I and our myspace page should have gotten under my skin. Nope, not a chance. Why? We'll I said why earlier..lmfao....but, I also know this, Steph and I's credibility is iron clad with the people who do count. Not low lying, negative energy type of people.
I could go on and on about all the lies, hatred and negativity attached to these peoples latest limp wristed, trumped up scheme. But I wont bore everyone to tears here, because after all, we are all adults and cant deny the truth when its staring us in the face. Mickey Rourke fans, by my own observation, enjoy his outspokenness, blunt honesty and his integrity when it comes to his chosen family and long time friends. Along with his obvious acting talent. Remember what happened to Mickey when he spoke the truth about the sleazyness of Hollywood? How he got himself in hot water because he called a spade a spade? Hmm, not in any way, shape or form compare myself to Mickey, that would be ludicrious, however, looks like the same situation, just different players, with this current situation Steohy and I are enduring. Some people have such a problem with the truth. When in essence, the truth will set you free.
Thats all for tonight my friends! Again, I want to thank all of those whom have brought this silly situation to our attention. Its a sad day when people sit around scheming. Hate breeds hate, negativity breeds negativity, violence breeds violence.....I for one turn on the news and see enough of that. I surround myself with positive, honest, and genuine people who are who they say they are. And that is most of our friends and website visitors, and people I cant name here. I wouldnt name anyone in particular, you know who you are :)
