Headlines are everywhere about Michael Douglas' affairs and Sylvester Stallone's anger issues.
Today Michael Douglas is releasing his memoir and Sylvester Stallone dropped his last week.
Both of them are basically saying, here is the ugly truth about me, please read it.
So the big question is, why? Why do they want to tell us who they really are? I find this so fascinating from a PR perspective because today, as you know, whenever there's a crisis, Hollywood hires crisis management teams and they spend millions of dollars trying to suppress stories that Michael Douglas and Sylvester Stallone are serving us on silver plates right now.
And here you have Michael Douglas admitting to affairs, drug use, being a terrible absent father, one of his sons Cameron went to jail, he never even went to visit him, and he
also admits that he's been
He talks about rehab, family dysfunctions, and a lot of other personal mistakes that he's made throughout his career.

He also talks about the time he was so pissed off with Richard Gere that he pulled him physically out of a car and was about to punch him.
