STALLONE BANS AUSTRALIAN MEDIA FROM PRESS CONFERENCE

SYLVESTER STALLONE has banned the Australian media from an upcoming press conference to launch his Rocky Balboa DVD after falling foul of the country's drug laws.

The movie star was charged with drugs charges in Sydney earlier this year (07) after he was allegedly caught importing 48 vials of an illegal human growth hormone.

And now he's getting his own back on Australian's media members, who poked fun at him during the controversy - he has vetoed their press passes.

Several Australian journalists were scheduled to attend the Los Angeles press conference later this month (18May07), but have been informed they won't be allowed to cover the event.

A publicist from 20th Century Fox, the company organising the press conference, reveals Australian media are no longer welcome.

A spokeswoman says, "I've just received word that unfortunately we will not be sending any Australian media to attend the Stallone junket due to his impending court case."

It is believed Stallone pulled the plug because he didn't want to answer questions about his drug charges.
