Scurrilous: Chicago’s No. 1 Couch Potato
OH, THE ‘HORROR’
When I was young and foolish, I more than once threw toast and rice around during movie-hall screenings of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” It seemed like the thing to do at the time. (Anyone so young and ignorant of classical culture as to be puzzled by that statement should ask an old person, that is, anyone of my generation, for elucidation.)
I mention this now because who turned up at a midnight showing in New York last weekend, toast in hand, but Jack Robbins, the son of Susan Sarandon, who was a supernaturally attractive 28-year-old when she starred in the film in 1975. Somebody recognized Jack, who’s 18 now, and, the N.Y. Daily News reports the emcee hauled him up onstage. Jack told the crowd that he was looking forward to seeing the whole movie, because until then his mom had never let him watch “the naughty parts.”
BIEL BOUNCES BACK
Recently I reported that Justin Timberlake sent Jessica Biel home after his Manchester, England, gig, to avoid being distracted. He did his Paris gig without her, but guess who turned up unexpectedly - - at least by me — this week at his Amsterdam and Stockholm hotels. Freakily enough, he also has his mother on tour with him, People mag reports. JT is 26. JB is 25. Mom isn’t saying.
BABY OFF BOARD?
Tom Cruise’s agent denied the rumors that he and Katie Holmes are expecting another TomKitten. The Sun and the Daily Mail both printed pics of Katie looking rather round, and stopped barely short of reporting a pregnancy as a fact. Katie is 28.
