The 1980 Carmelita Pope of jeans, Gloria Vanderbilt, is going to be joined in pushing Murjani jeans by none other than Debbie “A-Line” Harry, who’s proposed to tout a new line of jeans on the tube, to appeal to the younger set. Debbie’s not exactly known for her denims, but so what? They can cut the jeans off her with scissors after the commercial’s done, then she’ll be good as new...
Stranger than last night’s hot dog water: Wayne Newton to be cast as Errol Flynn in a TV mini-series based on Flynn’s tell-all memoirs, My Wicked, Wicked Ways? The Hollywood Reporter says so. Confused casting directors claim Newton has lost his unsightly fat and does indeed resemble the suave and downright lickable Australian star. Now if only they could convince the female sex...
“ 10” might be the number of ex-beach bunny Bo Derek’s fans after her fashion disaster on the Academy Awards TVer... you may recall that the blandly blonde Mrs. Derek came out swathed in a voluminous, carpet-like muu-muu suspected to be stolen from Elizabeth Taylor Warner's Virginia home. Well, it seems that the diminutive Bo’s lord and master John Derek hasn’t been knocking the fork out of his love’s hand quite often enough these days, and Bo’s costume was meant to cover up the love rolls. Meanwhile actresses such as the Oscar-winning (and tall) Meryl Streep proved that garments with some shape to them are still popular with women of chic.. .the comely Meryl, by the way, is not only lensing The French Lieutenant’s Woman in England, but is reportedly set to play the lead in the film adaptation of William Styron’s Sophie’s Choice, with A1“I Like My Women Tall—Say Five Feet” Pacino playing the male lead.
Here’s good news for all you old Ben Casey fans—old sour puss Vince Edwards will be back, muscular, hairy arms intact; to start still more medical shirt fads, get violently angry at patients, sweat a lot, etc. His wimpy competitor, Richard Chamberlain, reportedly has no plans to revive Dr. Kildare (or his recording career), as he’s busy plying his mock British accent over in England but no matter—Vince was the real sex bomb of the early 60’s.. .but who’s going to play Dr. Zorba?
The ex-Mrs. Woofer Goofer, Faye Dunaway, will finally live out her dream of being a June bride, when she makes it legal with photographer boyfriend Terry O’Neil. Fashion hint for Faye: white does put on the pounds, so watch it with the Sara Lee cheesecake, dear.
In the “Principal photography completed” category, Miss Right promises to be the 10 of this year for female flesh fanciers, with Jenny
Agutter, Italian bombshell Dalila Di Lazzaro, Margot Kidder, Vfarna Lisi.
Mari e-France Pisierand Karen Black (Karen Black?) sharing the screen. Karen Black? Roger Corman’s New World Pictures pacted with RCA video bigwigs for distribution of the kingpin sleazo’s movie greats for your video cassette viewing pleasure.
Rod Stewart drove another nail into his coffin of credibility when he hosted a huge post-Oscar party for the likes of Gregory Peck, frankly Tatum O’Neal, the brain-dead Leif Garrett and other Hollywood types like himself. Wifey Alana, commenting on Britt Ekland’s characterization of her liberally peroxided mate as “cheap,’’catted: “Some men treat their girlfriends that way...”
Baby beaver Andy Gibb confessed recently to subscribing to High Times to “keep up on things”... Now if only Jimmy McNichol read

In between filming of their Nine To Five pic about office workers, Jane Fonda tried to talk Dolly Parton into pounding flesh with her over at her exercise salon, but Dolly demurred, claiming she won’t exert herself in front of others... (Do they make Triple Eagle sports bras???)
Despite rumors to the contrary, Cher and Bat Lizard are still doing the good thang—has the slim Cherilyn learned to live with Gene’s penchant for starlets, dancers and others of the female sex?
Your favorite Canadian and ours, Margaret Trudeau, revealed recently that she is taking lithium to control her “manic” behavior...
Maggie: wake up and smell.the coffee... drugs are passe.
Glen Campbell is now keeping fast company with Tanya Tucker—that’s one way to get a good session guitarist...
Remember Leigh Taylor-Young, Ryan O’Neaf s former sweetie? (They starred together in The Big Bounce—oh, you forget?) Well, Leigh’s in the front of the pack hoping to take over Shelley Hack’s tattered wings as the third angel on Charlie’s Angels, despite the fact that the show hasn’t exactly been a springboard for either the toothsome Fanrah or poor abused Shelley (can she help being flat?). Of course, Leigh’s career hasn’t exactly been setting Hollywood on fire lately... Good luck, dear... and may we suggest taping those bazooms?
