Speaking of Chevy Chase, his costar in those National Lampoon vacation movies, Beverly D’Angelo, looks delightful in this photo taken at an event this week. (She is the mother of Al Pacino’s twins, by the way.) She and Chevy make an appearance in the new Vacation movie starring Ed Helms as their grown up son Rusty. Even more interesting, Beverly and Chevy filmed a sitcom pilot for ABC about a pair of selfish retired baby boomers whose lives are turned upside down when their grandchildren move in with them. Don’t know if it’s been picked up yet, but we bet that Beverly has some interesting stories about Chevy.

WILL THE NEW “VACATION” BE TWICE AS FUNNY – OR HALF AS FUNNY AS THE ORIGINAL?

Looks like Christina Applegate will slip into Beverly D’Angelo’s shoes in the reboot of the 1980s family comedy Vacation. Ed Helms of Bachelor Party fame is signed to play the Chevy Chase “Dad” role. The reboot will be updated in that the son Rusty (originated by Anthony Michael Hall) now grown up and married, will take his wife and kids on a vacation similar to the one he remembers with his family in the 80’s. Ed Helms will play the grown up Rusty and Christina will play his restless wife. The original Vacation was written by John Hughes and directed by Harold Ramis – it will be interesting to compare the two.

AL PACINO TAUGHT HIS SON ANTON HOW TO FEED THE METER

We never thought about how SHORT Al Pacino is until we saw him standing next to a parking meter! His 8 year old son Anton will soon be catching up to him. Anton and his twin sister Olivia are Al’s kids with his former girlfriend Beverly D’Angelo of Entourage. Al recently finished filming “You Don’t Know Jack” – the life story of assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian for HBO, and we can’t wait to see it.
