HE'S GOING TO SHAKE AND SHIMMY IT THE BEST HE CAN: It's Broadway-to-Hollywood week here, which leads to another news item I don't believe we've discussed: for the upcoming Hairspray adaptation (like The Producers, screen-to-stage-to-screen), are you intrigued or appalled by the notion of John Travolta taking Harvey Fierstein's signature role as Edna Turnblad with Billy Crystal as her husband, Wilbur?

Set to film next spring, producers are looking at unknowns for Tracy Turnblad, and are talking to Aretha Franklin as Motormouth Maybelle.
