Confessions of a FILM FOX

California goes kissey face this month. The New York Dolls just completed a TV documentary called Looking For a Kiss. Not to be outdone, Casablanca’s Kiss will have a feature part in the Dick Clark production Werewolf of Woodstock. . . More smooch news: When Cher and David Geffen attended the opening of the Rocky Horror Show at the Roxy she didn’t mind at all When he gave her a few loveydovey pats here and there, BUT when a photographer asked her to give Geffen a “friendly kiss,” Cher flatly told him, “You’ll get THAT picture when hell freezes over.” While hell is trying to freeze, Sonny ain’t waiting, he’s lined up his own show next season, The Sonny Comedy Review to be shown on Sunday nights this fall. Each week a different lovely will be co-hosting. Rock and Roll-em: Gary Glitter stars in a movie-for-tv mystery as a rock star escaping (no, not critics) killers. The show will be the first TV drama stereo simulcast. Mick Jagger has been seen about Hollywood looking for film work, just like wifey Bianca was doing a few months ago. By the way Bianca is now reportedly suffering from a serious kidney disease... The New Line Cinema is pairing Grand Funk’s short We’re An American Band with Neil Young’s Journey Through the Past for a national release in the near future. Cheech and Chong’s Basketball Jones is now a four minute animated film short to premier at the Yugoslavian Animated Film Festival... Rosemary’s Baby’s daddy, Roman Polanski, has had another: Chinatown. It’s a murder mystery set in the 30s starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.. . Ira Levin, Rosemary’s other daddy, and creator, has a new novel turned movie called The Step ford Wives. It’s the story of the eerie effects automation has on a quiet town in the suburbs where the wives fall prey to an unmentionable menace... Tatum O’Neal says she is finished doing films for awhile — well at least until she’s sixteen. She says they’re awfully hard work. Pop O’Neal was recently named the Godfather to Mia Farrow’s and Andre Previn’s newborn son, Fletcher. It know, an offer he couldn’t refuse... Alfred Hitchcock admitted he hasn’t seen The Exorcist yet because he’s scared!... Clean living? “I never drink or smoke, but Hove Coca-Cola,” Barbra Streisand recently told a reporter. You should hear what she told Crown Prince Charles. The Bonnie Old met Barbra in Hollywood when he visited the set of For Pete’s Sake and told her that he always plays her albums in Buckingham Palace. “That’s great!,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to play the Palace!”... Remember Mark Frechette who played the leading male role in Zabriskie Point in 1970? Frechette dropped from sight afterwards only to resurface in the Brigham Merchants National Bank. Now Mark will be ‘playing’ the Walpole. That’s Massachusetts Walpole' State Prison for six to fifteen years after pleading guilty to armed robbery... There’s no business like show business... There’s rumor of teaming Roger Moore and ex-Partridge heart throb David Cassidy in a movie... Another twosome: Clint Eastwood would like to team with Elizabeth Taylor for a film or two... Will the real Brigette Bardot please dis-robe: BB played a nude love scene for her flick, Joyous Adventures of Colin, but Bardot insisted that her male partner wear aligleaf made of surgical tape... On the other hand, Bridgette admitted that now she’s thinking of becoming a nun! “I’ve had enough of this agitated life. Now I want to find interior peace and it’s possible I’ll wear the robe.”... Oliver Reed gave his plumed hat from The Three Musketeers to his milkman! Candy Clark, the blonde, Oscar-nominated contender for her role in American Graffiti, Confessed that her values have changed since her,growing up days in the sixties. When she was in highschool, she says: “I would only go out with a guy if he had a Stingray.” Today, you gotta have a private plane. . . A Happier Hooker. The best-selling novel about that vivacious vice queen, Xaviera Hollander, will now be a movie, starring a “major, international star.” My bets are on Ruth Buzzi... Burt Reynolds will star in Peter Bogdonavich’s upcoming, based on a collection of Cole Porter songs — does this mean Burt’s the new Cary Grant?... Cybill Shepherd?...
