Doris .Tyler, Rod’s former girl Friday, is pe'nning her rendition of the whole affair, calling it Rod, Britt and I. (That’ll teach him to trust shorthand!) Marriage & papadom’s apparently mellowed the rocker, though, since he’s agreed to guest on Britt’s TV show, Juke Box.
Poland’s revenge? Bette Midler's being serenaded to star in Lester Persky’s drama-musical pic, The Polish Nightingale.
(Does this mean she’ll have to swap kielbasas with Bobby Vinton?)
A new version of “Beat On The Brat” in the works? Beach boy Dennis Wilson & his ever lovin’ Christine McVie wanted to get away from it all, so they rented a mobile home and headed for the hills. All was calm ’til a policeman reportedly rapped on the trailer's door, demanding that Wilson “open up. ” What followed was a brawl between the surfer boy and The Law, with Wilson and McVie ending up in jail.. .in separate cells, by the way. The whole world’s still awaiting an explanation, which none of the party involved seems to have.
Buster Crabbe wouldn’t stand for it: Rock group Queen is writing the soundtrack for Dino De Laturentis’ Flash Gordon remake, and no, Freddie Mercury will not play the lead despite the film’s extravagant wardrobe of multi-colored leotards.
The whole family’s getting into the act: Cheech & Chong enjoyed making their first movie (Up In Smoke) so much, they’re at it again, this time enlisting the aid of Cheech’s wife and Chong’s daughter. Added bonus: Blondie’s Debbie Harry will play the role of a punk rock masseuse...
