TV Land Awards

LAVERNE & SHIRLEY AREN’T EXACTLY BUDDIES ANY MORE


One of our favorite sitcoms, “Laverne & Shirley,” was honored at the TV Land Awards and Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams turned up, along with costars “Lenny“ and “Squiggy.” Everybody got along fine onstage but the two leading girls were distinctly cool with each other while sitting at their table in the audience. A source told us they barely acknowledged one another and Penny (who CAN be gruff) made a point of turning her back to Cindy and chatting only with her friends. Is this an old feud or a new one?

JOHN TRAVOLTA AND THE SWEATHOGS REUNITE FOR TV LAND AWARDS

We have to give John Travolta a pat on the back for agreeing to appear on The TV Land Awards 2011 (airing April 17) with the cast of “Welcome Back Kotter.” Most break-out stars don’t want to look back at the shows that started them off in the business. The role of Vinnie Barbarino launched Travolta to incredible success. The other guys, not so much. But it will be fun to see them again. Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Ron Palillo, and Marcia Strassman are set to appear- Gabe Kaplan and Robert Hegyes are still thinking it over.
