That much publicized don Peters adventure, Eyes Of Laura tylars, starring Faye Dunaway, has a theme song: "Prisoner" will be sung by none other than Peters' roomie, Babs Streisand. [And if rumors are true that Cher Bono Allman (Simmons?) will star in Peters' upcoming pic, Loveland, will we witness the birth of a new duo?]

The Oriental Nightfish, an animated film based on a composition by Linda McCartney, is being shown in competition for Short Subjects at the Cannes Film Festival this year.

Ready or not, Godfather III is in the works, and like it or not, the newest Don Corieone to slip through the spaghetti strainer (third generation) may be wearing taps. Tajk has it that John Travolta is being eyed for the lead role. (That would make him the son of A1 Pacino and Diane Keaton and the grandson of Marion Brando and Robert DeNfaro. Got that?) And speaking of Revolta, hasn't he been spending eves with model Marisa Berenson? Perhaps checking her streaks?

Bionic Woman Meets Bionic Mouth: Talk of the town is that Lindsey Wagner and pretty Peter Frampton are getting to know each other... Wonder if manager Dee Anthony approves of her current marital status?

Changing partners... What is Britt doing now that Rod's swishing around El Lay with "actress" Alana Hamilton? Biding her time with Alana's ex, actor George, that's what...

Beach Boy Dennis Wilson and former-wife/soon-to-be-wife Karen Lamm put their two little heads together and came up with a TV musical special. Still in search of a network, the special will feature the Wilsons and many of their friends. (Karen, by the way, is readying an LP of her own—produced by Dennyboy— and was, at last look, still in search of a record company.) v Folker Arlo Guthrie is slated to make a cameo appearance in Take It To The Limit, a cycle (what else?) pic from Peter Starr Productions.

Carrie Snodgrass, making up for all those years spent out in the country in Carmel with the dreaded Nell Young, is about to bounce on Broadway (if the producers have their way) with Billy Dee Williams in The ^Sailor And The Fox. Carrie looked a little timeworn in The Fury, but wouldn't you after a few years of cooking grits for the Canadian wolf? The lawsuit actress Susan Blakely and manager Steve Jaffffe laid on Ryan O'Neal for reportedly slugging the romantic pair last year got a kick in the teeth recently. Our boy Ry surprised the two by filing a countersuit charging the pair with "intent to injure." .. .Some people have their nerve!

Pop singer David ("Stardust") Essex has the role of Che Guevera in the London production of Evita, the latest rock opera off the Rice-Webber line. The upcoming BBC-TV special from Andy Williams could feature a guest star named Elton John. (Even if it does, Stateside we won't know the difference.)
