Sophia Stallone � Sylvester Stallone"s Oldest Daughter

Sylvester Stallone Was A "Terrible Choice" For "Rocky"
Sophia Stallone is the eldest daughter of sylvester stallone, who gave each of his children a name that started with an "S". And, each daughter has the same middle name. Dad Sylvester explained his reasoning for this to People, saying: All the middle names are Rose so they cant battle like one would be called Lilac and one would be Heather, so its all Sophia Rose, Sistine Rose and Scarlett Rose. Rose is a great name, you cant knock it. You cant get better than Rose its neutral. Sophia is 19 years old and is a student at the University of Southern California. She does not wish to follow in her father"s footsteps as an actress, but she has admitted that being a Miss Golden Globe does make for good exposure ... Especially since she wants to start her own fashion line and cosmetics line in the future. Unlike her father, Sophia is not quite used to being in the public eye, so being Miss Golden Globe, along with her sisters, is a bit of a change. Even so, the trio insists that their lives will go right back to normal after the awards show. To get more details on Sophia Stallone, click through our gallery of her best Instagram photos.

David Blaine

After catching a bullet in his mouth in 2010, David decided to make the stunt more bonkers by pulling the trigger on the gun himself.

Blaine was seen preparing for the stunt by having friends shoot him in the chest while he wore protective gear.

He wanted to perform the trick during a show for 20,000 people at Las Vegas" MGM Grand Garden Arena, and the show saw David being fitted with a special mouthguard to hold a metal cup which would catch the bullet.

But when it came to the live stunt, the mouthguard became the issue.

David walked on stage in Vegas and put his guard in, with the metal cup sitting in between the grooves.

He held a rope attached to the rifle across from him, while a laser pointed out where the bullet would hit.

David tugged on the rope, and the rifle fired the very real bullet into the cup but the mouthguard shattered in the process.

In a voiceover, the magician explained: "Time just started to move really slow. When the bullet struck the cup, there was a high-pitched ringing in my ears and I felt an impact on the back of my throat.

"I was sure the bullet went right through my head and that I was dead.

David was rushed to hospital after the show, with his friends refusing to assist him in the dangerous stunt ever again.

Shockingly, Blaine plans to include the risky trick in his upcoming world tour.

Viewers were stunned by the bullet catch, with one person on Twitter branding him an "absolute mad b*****d".

Another viewer tweeted: "David Blaine? More like David Insane! He plans on doing the bullet catch trick in his world tour. How can he be so sure it won"t kill him?"
