CONFESSIONS OF A FILM FOX
The theme of this month is Hollywood goes rock and roll, and rock and roll goes Hollywood. David Kung Fu Carradine has been moonlighting between takes. Seems David and his brother Kevin have been showing up at rock concerts and small clubs in Hawaii and Southern California. No, not as spectators, the Carradines have their own rock group. All the music is composed by David who also sings and plays guitar. The group is tentatively titled The Grasshoppers. .. Alice Cooper is leading the procession of rocksters into tinsel town with, his stint on Hollywood Squares, and no doubt you saw his seven minute segment on the Snoop Sisters Well, that ain’t all. Alice is also shooting Hard Hearted Alice (subtitled 2000 Reptiles) with the boys. It will show behind-the-scenes glimpses of the guys during the recent Billion Dollar Babies tour. You know backstage, in the airport, Alice french kissing the snake. Just like Hard Day's Night. Alice will alsp be doing the opening and closing credits in whips and black leather for the new Zero Mostel movie, . .The Divine Miss M will make her film debut in The Divine Mr. J.

What’s the Ugliest Part of Your Body Department: Connie Stevens dunked an imprint of her bosom in the cement forecourt of Mann’s Chinese Theater, and she’s only a 34A. She’s gotten a big HEAD since she got the part of Marilyn Monroe. Connie’s not the only one who’ll be wearing concrete this spring. From Barbara Eden: “There’s been so much talk about my belly button, that I’m thinking of having it preserved in cement at Grauman’s Chinese Theater... Everyone wanted to play Dustin Hoffman’s wife in Lenny, bio of Lenny Bruce and for a while it looked like Linda Lovelace was going to be the one, but Valerie Perine got the part. Seem’s Lovelace is on a respectability kick that Hollywood is watching with openmouthed astonishment. .. Even John Lennon is captivated by the living legend. They fell into a conversation when John happened to examine Linda’s lovely face searchingly. “Good Lord,” he exclaimed, “how’d you get those scars around the outside of your lips?” “Sometimes,” Linda smiled ingenuously, “you really have to open wide. They’re stretch marks from applying lipstick.” Now for the men: Michael Caine posed nude for a centerfold and then didn’t like the pictures, so it’s all been cancelled. His summing up is: “Men just look ridiculous naked.” Burt Reynolds gave a flat no to a reported $20,000 offer to pose nude for a German magazine. Sauerkraut gives him indigestion. . .

As you remember in the first adventure they killed off Ernest Borgnine, and now he’s back playing the twin of the character of the original. It will be called Twenty Thousand Leagues Under Debris. There’s also going to be a sequel to Walking Tall, tho it’s not certain that Joe Don Baker will continue in the role of Sheriff Buford Pusser. Meanwhile, the real Sheriff, or rather the ex-sheriff Pusser since he hasn’t been a lawman for the past three years, has put together an act with the Righteous Brothers that he will take to college .campuses called The Buford Pusser Showcase. Newest member cast for Godfather II is Peter Sellers. He has a cameo role, playing a token Jew, in the Mafia. Not only is Godfather going to be a sequel, but there’s talk of a tv series. .. Andy Warhol is planning his own film version of the Janis Joplin story based on the book written by Janis’ admitted girlfriend, Peggy Caserta. . . Will the Beat Still Go On? Sonny filed for separation papers from Cher. . . First you had Rosemary’s Baby and now you’ve got Exorcism’s Daughter... “when there’s no place left to go, YOU CAN ALWAYS GO MAD.” Or for that matter, go see this movie. Me, I gotta go. m
