CONFESSIONS OF A FILM FOX
Robert De Niro unleashed! When a TV interviewer recently tried to get a comment out of Al Pacino as he was leaving the Night of 100 Stars gala in Gotham, typically neuro Al wouldn’t speak, but wow! His formerly reserved companion De Niro grabbed the mike, exclaimed “Ask meee!” and proceeded to give a detailed commentary to the startled reporter. Old Mohawk-head’s looking slim again, is up for the role of a Jewish gangster in an upcoming flick...but we’re still waiting for King Of Comedy, Bob! Donna “Ya Ya” Dixon spotted with “Fall Guy” Lee “I Need and Want All Blondes Now” Majors! It’s an item! Donna Dixon seen dining out with Kiss’s Paul Stanley! It’s an item! Who cares? Donna’s PR agent!
Jerry Vile co-star Christopher Walken and Susan Sarandon (from the PBS American Playhouse presentation “Who Am I This Time?”) still hanging out together in Noo Yawk, and busily denying rumors of being that way about each other. Hey, kids, this Fox believes platonic friendships between the sexes are possible... Probable? Well, no...
Our favorite nihilist... the man who takes the concept of “bad vibes” that one crucial step beyond, John McEnroe, reportedly has inked a contract with tennis fan Elton John’s Rocket Records. Guitar-playing John is a Springsteen fan, you may recall, and indeed, when we viewed a recent McEnroe/Vilas match he came dancing on-court to the strains of “The Boy From New York City,” so perhaps the angry moptop does have a future in “entertainment” as we know it. Speaking of tennis bums, man-about-sleazy-rock-bars Vitas Gerulitis also strums a stringed instrument; in fact, he had Chicago’s Hamer Guitars make him a custom-made axe in the shape of a tennis racket, to while away those lonely nights in hotel rooms on the road...
Bosom Buddies stars Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari are holding out for “better scripts” next season—i.e., less running around in women’s dresses—as well as more say in choosing the directors for the shows. As the show’s one of the few almost-hits of the season (at least CREEM readers think so), the zany duo will probably get their way...
It’s supposed to be a secret, but we can’t keep those, so now hear this: Gary Weiss (who made all those cute Saturday Night Live short films) has a full-length feature coming out titled Young Lust... Rich Hall, a sometime Fridays regular (you know—the one who looks like a young healthy Neil Young and plays with all the little toy people...) is one of the principals...
Don’t say damn. ..say whoal Tom Tom Club/Talking Head Tina Weymouth revealed to the New YorkTimes that she possesses “more than 100” hats. Whoa, Tina. Hill Street Blues’ Veronica Hamel (Joyce Davenport) and Daniel Travanti (Frank Furillo) have been so busy flinging the designer sheets around and splashing around in bubble baths on the top-rated cop show that life has come to imitate art and the steamy duo are double-dating with Mr. Bubble for real. ..Double whoal Liz V Dick are back! Swooned the newly-divorced Burton in England: “Last week I wouldn’t have dared to presume to say she still loves me, but yet she does. " Triple whoal Donna Summer is preggers with her third bambino, adding to the alarming nation-wise baby boom. And wasn’t that Donna we saw dancing barefoot at the American Music Awards a scant few weeks ago?
Bill Hudson forgetting Goldie Hawn with Cindy Williams? To the point of marrying the pert Ms. Shirley? True, true.. .tune in tomorrow for the untold story on that item, and all your non-faves...
