'The Expendables 2' Stars' Unmanliest Movie Roles

The Expendables 2

Manly men like action movies. And steak. And watching oiled-up gym rats wrestle until one is pinned down and submits to the other's brawny powers. (We'd say that men "love" these things, but manly men find that word too submissive.)

So, when Sylvester Stallone gathered some of the biggest names (and biceps) of the action star pantheon together for an epic ensemble piece entitled "The Expendables" back in 2010, he forged the manliest merger since the X chromosome collided with the Y.

Hollywood pals are almost as fun as Hollywood romances. Throw in some crazy costumes and color us thoroughly entertained.

Elton John and Lady Gaga met last January when they performed together at the Grammys and have since collaborated on a duet for "Gnomeo and Juliet." Now, he's spilling his guts about just how much he loves the unpredictable pop star (spoiler alert: it's a whole lot).

"She is a wonderful girl and I love her to death," he tells NextMovie exclusively at the movie's premiere. "We're cut from the same cloth… I can't say enough good things about her and for to take the time to do this with her schedule was a great gesture from her." Get More »

What would Elton John look like if he were one of those little plastic gnomes people use to decorate their gardens?
