Confessions of a FILMFO

With Jack Frost nipping at your nose and Britt Ekfand nipping at anything within claw distance, wedding bells are in the wind for more than a few of your faves: Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager have apparently ironed out their differences and plan to take the trek shortly ... Elliott Gould's not at all pleased with rumors linking him romantically with ex-wife Babs Streisand's sister, Roslyn Kind. Perhaps to prove his point, El recently re-married wife #2 (or is that 3?) Jenny after an unsuccessful two-year divorce ... 01' Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra, is crooning the virtues of marital bliss in an attempt to reunite long time buddy Dean Martin with wife Jeanne. But Dean only has eyes these days for Vega$ star Phyllis Davis. And for a while, Dino was also expressing interest in Ursula Andress—in a fatherly fashion, tho, as Dean's 19-year-old son Ricci wa$ doing the town with the middle-aged (and that's stretching it!) matron. But don't count on any May-December marriage just yet—Ursula is reportedly very serious about her romance with Ryan O'Neal. Hey, maybe we can salvage something out of this mess by introducing Ricci toTatum...

Not all is hunky dory in the wedding department for some stars, though. Ronnie Wood is gung-ho on marrying sweetie Jo Howard, especially since Jo Jo is preggers. Does it matter that Ron has yet to obtain a divorce from wife Chrissie, or is he thinking of converting to the Mormon way of life? ... Likewise, Margaux . Hemingway is spreading the word that she'll marry Francois Fouchet as soon as her divorce from Errol Wetson comes through ... Are Olivia Newton-John and manager Lee Kramer looking for a minister? Maybe, if only to comfort Oily after Rex Reed's review of her Grease performance: "[She] sounds like a

tone-deaf cow and makes a screen debut that has all the charisma of rancid buttermilk. " Kinda churns up the appetite, n 'est-ce pas?

Lotsa news in the Liza Minelli Dept.: The benign Ms. Mhas resumed her romance with Mikhail Baryshnikov while juggling David Bowie on the side (Just A Jugglo?). But Liza isn't the only one keeping as many, uh, balls in the air as is humanly possible—Mikhail has likewise been wining and dining Jessica Lange, who finds him less an ape than some of her former boyfriends... Liza's ex, Jack Haley, Jr., is ignoring her phone calls since, he's busy boogying with Victoria Principal. Since Jack was definitely not'interested in picking up Andy Warhol's portrait of Liza, she bought it herself-'-for 25 grand!!! Could our eyes be deceiving us, or were Diane Keaton and beautiful beau Warren Beatty actually screaming at each other during dinner in a New York restaurant? Can't these domestic spats be handled at a more fitting location—like a taxi? ..

Speaking of harsh words, Britt Ekland is now defending her tarnished reputation with these words of wisdom: "After Lou Adler, who I had been with for four years, I was with Rod Stewart for two and a half years—and there has been no one since!" What about Roger Earl, beaverteeth?... Hugh Hefner doesn't love Barbi Benton anymore cuz he loves Donna Theodore.

Barbi doesn't love Hugh because she loves Andy Prine. So there ..

Paul Simon checking Carrie Fisher's kodachrome in New York.. Cher's romance with Gene "I'll Lick It For You Wholesale" Simmons has become a family affair since Cher's sis Georganne LaPiere has been seen more often than not with Paul Stanley. Talk about gypsies, tramps and thieves... John Reid'^

Did you hear the news that the sequel to American Graffiti is called Purple Haze? Hey—where do we sign up?. Vj$! Which reminds us that Gilda Radnor is on cloud nine with Kevin Kline ... Unfortunately, Bianca Jagger seemed to have gotten a bad connection when she tried to get through to hubby Mick in Chicago. Bianca requested the room of Dashiell Hammett and got no response, mainly because Mick always changes his pseudonym to Sam Spade while in that town. Meanwhile, back in New York, Mick and g.f. Jeri Hall asked for a bowser bag after a leisurely dinner at Le Refuge. But not for Rover—they wanted to carry out two unconsumed bottles of wine (for their friends, of course)... 'Til next month, keep it on ice!!!
