Confessions of a FILM FOX
Penny McCall's attempt to get a hefty chunk of former squeeze Pester Frampton's earnings was thrown out of court recently when a N. Y. judge reminded the lady that she was breaking the law (adultery's illegal there), since she neglected to get a divorce from her husband! Meanwhile, the Framp's style hasn't been cramped —he's been seen lately with dress designer Fleur Thlemeyer, who seems to bear a close resemblance to Penny, who bears a close resemblance to Peter, etc.

More poop on the Blues Bros, film: In addition to John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, the musical/comedy will feature guest appearances by Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway. (By The Way Dept.: Did you know the toga party scene in Animal House was originally set to be a "pig party," where the boys bring the ugliest girls they can find? Suuueeeeeyyyyyl!)
A sequel to Kansas City Bomber, perhaps? Last year it was Cher in search of more flesh . . . this year the lady's got more, uh, athletic things on her mind, if 'tis true she's cruising roller rinks in the hopes of buying one of her own.
Trouble brewing in Tinsel City? Although not officially announced at presstime, 'looks lik& Barbra Streisand's got the lead (as Eva Peron) in the movie version of Evita. Only thing is, talk has it that Babs wants ex-hubby Elliott Gould for the role of Che Guevara .. . which could upset the Robert Stigwood applecart, since bossman Bee Gee Barry's rumored to be hot-hot for the same role. And speaking of Gibbs, Andy's been offered the lead role in the sequel to Grease (called Vaselina in Mexico). Maybe if Tony Franciosa had advertised nose drops instead of toothpaste, this would've never happened: The toothsome actor was
surprised (and how!) recently when the London police confiscated cocaine and marijuana from his hotel room.
'Least we can't accuse The Killer of leading a boring existence: Last month we reported Jerry Lee Lewis's loss (but eventual return) of his fleet of autos to the IRS, and this month the saga continues . . . Lewis was charged recently with reckless driving in Hernanab, Mississippi, as well as with leaving the scene of an accident.
(Seems he only lived a few blocks away, so Lewis merely boogied on down the road a piece.) All's well that ends well—at least for now—as big daddy Elmo Lewis came to the rescue by posting a $150 bond for his boy. There's more than one way to skin a cat, and leave it to wild man Ted Nugent to show us how: The latest "big game" on the man's mind seems to be none other than Britt Ekland. Another prize hanging for above the fireplace, Ted?
This is one summer you won't have Frankie Avalon to push around at the beach! The slicky 60's singer (along with partner Lou Alexander) recently launched his own motion picture company, and the first offering, Rock 'n ' Roll Heaven, is already in production in London.
Look for Beachbrat Dennis Wilson and Fleetwood Mac's Christie McVie to make it legal once his former wife, Karen Lamm, is outta the picture (presumably she's already outta the house.).
Rockin' Chuck Berry will let it all hang out in his upcoming bio . . . He's already admitted that he's only purchased six albums in his life—two of which were his own!
Those Village People are on the run (from Jack LaLanne??), this time to the sandbox. The boys will be featured (along with Olympic ace Bruce Jenner) in a musical billed as a "disco beach party." (No sand throwing, fellas!) Olivia de Newton-John won't be swapping fashion tips with the boys yet—at least not in this flick.
Where Are They Now: One of the ORIGINAL Hardy Boys, Tommy Kirk, was last seen working "maintenance" at one of the Ohio Agora rock clubs. The ex-Mouseketeer reminisced about Fred MacMurray, the Disney clan & the Mickey Mouse Club, while he swept up, but was mum on the subject of Annette, (Ah, shucks!) Forget Route 66—it's U.S. Highway 411 you'll have to worry about: The town of Sevierville (Tenn.) happens to be the birthplace of cotton-haired kewpie Dolly Parton, and will now sport a road sign along the 411 called (what else?) "Dolly Parton Parkway"
. . . 'Til next month, watch out for those dangerous curves!
