Confession of a FILM FOX
With Spring just around the snowdrift, it seems to be the time for new projects and old backbiting. Here’s one for all you paper-straight, thin-haired darlings out there: bet you’re just gloating over the latest misfortune of Cher (ancheralike), who obviously put too much store in those nancy boys on TV whose insistent: “Our perm will turn them on” cooings sent her licorice locks to the floor.

With Spring just around the snowdrift, it seems to be the time for new projects and old backbiting. Here’s one for all you paper-straight, thin-haired darlings out there: bet you’re just gloating over the latest misfortune of Cher (ancheralike), who obviously put too much store in those nancy boys on TV whose insistent: “Our perm will turn them on” cooings sent her licorice locks to the floor. Well, if they ever do a remake of Peter Pqn ... In other Cher-croppings, ex-hubby No. 2, Gregg Allman, recently poo-pooed all those nasty rumors that hisbottle habit caused the marriage to goon the rocks. Gregg insists th^t it was Cher’s penchant for cavorting ’round the rec room en deshabille .. . And what of ex-hubby No. 1? DespiteSotany Bono’s hot ’n’ heavy hankering for Susie Cuelho, Sonny & Cher will be back as the pizza-slinging, belly-belching duo that may yet force Chastity underground. A more welcome TV return is anticipated for Soupy Sales. The king of the kiddie double entendre is now taping a number of shows in L. A., to be syndicated through Gene Autry’s Golden West Television. Can’t wait to hear White Fang and Black Tooth inquire once again of their zany master, “What’s for lunch today, Soupy?” It’s beginning to look like Paul Schrader’s An American Gigolo production is becoming as tenuous as the livelihood it portrays: Lauren Hutton was officially cast as the female lead ppposite John Travolta after Jul^e Christie turned the role down. Shortly thereafter, Paramount execs postponed the flick to search for a stronger actress for old disco-toes to play off of; Moments later, Travolta decided to walk out of the production himself, citing the recent death of his mother and lousy critiques of his N, current flick, Moment By Moment, as his reasons fQr taking a powder. So Hutton is still on the roster and Hector Elizondo is hot to fill John* John’s sweaty shoes. . . Speaking of gigolos, /you might be wondering what’s become of David Bowie’s big screen outing, Just A Gigolo: Well, the flick did premier in London and Berlin a few months back, but was so thoroughly panned that it was sent back to be re-cut and edited before being tossed to the dogs again..
