Sylvester Stallone won’t let his mom “read his butt”

Sylvester Stallone says he won't let his 'rumpoligist' mother "read his butt".

The 61-year-old Hollywood star's mother, Jackie reportedly pioneered the practice, which involves predicting a person's future by 'reading' their backside, but he refuses to let her look at his bottom in case it has "an unhappy ending".

He said: "My mother has led a very colourful life. Besides being a one-time trapeze artist, she is the first woman I can recall who had a televised bodybuilding show in Washington in the 50s. She's a world class astrologist, palmist and yes, she did invent rumpology.

"Yes, we do have a close relationship but I will not allow her to read my butt because the story may have an unhappy ending!"

Jackie, 86, claims rumpology was practiced by Babylonians and Indians in ancient times, although she has failed to produce any historical evidence.

She believes she can learn a person's past by studying their left buttock, and their future by looking at the right.
