- There is now a place where anyone who is so inclined, and
- a bit lucky, can watch SYLVESTER STALLONE eat: Planet
- Hollywood, a $15 million restaurant and movie museum that opened
- in New York City last week. It's a testosterone-powered venture
- backed by Stallone, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER and BRUCE WILLIS, all
- sworn to frequent the place and help make it a hip hangout for
- celebrities and regular folks. So far, it's hard to tell who's
- more excited: regular folks or show-biz types with a piece of
- the action. "You can't hype something that isn't inherently
- exciting," insists Planet Hollywood chairman Keith Barish, but
- even much touted opening-night events -- Bruce tending bar,
- Arnold cooking Wiener schnitzel -- never happened. That suggests
- mere mortals are only slightly more likely to see Willis there
- than to see Hudson Hawk II. Still, huge profits and more Planet
- Hollywoods are expected. Promises Stallone: "It'll bring a
- little bit of Hollywood everywhere." And a little bit, Stallone
- knows, can sometimes go a long way.
