VI fa JV i i EM3X- mm including Sundays By Scott Benarde Mnac Writer Pop singer-teen idol Rick Springfield aptly renamed the Hollywood Sportatorium "the Sweatatorium" during his energetic IV hour show there Saturday night The hall was hot, the small, but vocal Audience was hot and for the most part Springfield was hot Everybody joined in communal perspiration as Springfield proved he is more than just another pretty face. The rest of him is not bad either. The women around me several in their 30s pointed out that even his teeth were perfect He is a hunk with talent Springfield's ability to work a crowd is near perfect too. An actor as well as rock musician, Springfield presents his songs in a well-paced, dynamic form, dancing through the rockers and gazing at members of the audience during ballads. Even in the Sweatatorium he was able to develop some intimacy, sitting at the edge of the stage with a portable keyboard singing My Father's Chair.

But most of the time Springfield, who looked like he just stepped out of the film Perfect, made dramatic runs across the stage and on top of speaker cabinets, sending sweat flying into the crowd of shrieking prepubescent teens standing on their chairs and on each other. Aside from the oppressive heat, the show had some other flaws which weren't Springfield's fault an energetic show Saturday. served until 6:30 pm $4.95 Choice of one: Fried Maine Shrimp Baked Scrod Gourmet Burger 6.95 Choice of one: London Broil with Mushrooms Fried Scallops Prices include choice of all-u-can-eat salad bar, bread S.

Springfield and bis punchy, hard-driving five-piece band had to fight a poor sound mix, and, as good an actor a Springfield may be, it was easy to see and hear be wasn't really playing his guitar.

This may have been because of technical problems and not part of the plan. Also, Springfield's clever use of two mammoth video screens costumed as television sets got old fast The show opened with Springfield video clips then suddenly revealed the real Rick backstage leaving his dressing room and walking toward the stage. But the screens were used all evening often spotlighting the least interesting player of the moment And because the screens were on the stage instead of to the side or above the stage, they became obtrusive. Perhaps Springfield thought he was playing to 12,000 people and wanted those in the back to see what good shape he was In. But the concert could have been held at the Sunrise Musical Theatre because less than 5,000 people attended the show.

Christopher Reeve TV series. It also sets aside a percentage of the profits from the film, in trust, for their children. The question of fact and fiction has been pivotal. Nichols and Paramount vice president Ralph Kamon say, in a letter, that Bernstein should not infer any right to control the film's content, script, chracterization, final cut, release or distribution. But Nichols and Paramount agree that they will be sensitive to objections raised by Bernstein." The reporter notes that permitting someone to review a script as a courtesy is is not unusual.

"What is unusual is that it comes up in the context of a domestic situation in a film property Paramount views as total fiction." Nora's lawyer, the go-getter Ju-, dith Richards, whom the writer hired after she thought Carl was attempting to interfere with her custody of their two sons, says this: "It is a complete victory she is totally vindicated on all counts. She is delighted that after 5'i years, she is finally able to get a divorce from Carl without a contested trial." La serena! Look for the girl who played the mermaid in Splash! Daryl Hannah opposite Christopher Reeve in the coming Keith Barish production of The Running Man, to be directed by Rambo's George Cosmatos. This is a futuristic film wherein Chris again plays a superhero. He was looking great at last week's Production East seminar about moviemaking on the East Coast in Lincoln Center. Then he rushed back to the Williamstown Playhouse in Massachusetts for The Royal Family.

I shall return! Tom Snyder might have said as he left New Vork last year. Now it is definite that the controversial talk-show host will begin at ABC-TV in September for at least three nights a week after Ted Koppel's Nightline.

17th Street, Ft. Lauderdale. FL MM Singer Rick Springfield delivered Springfield performed about a half-dozen songs from his current album, Tao, as well as the standards that made him a teen-age heartthrob and Grammy winner: Jessie's Girl, Don't Talk to Strangers, Bop Til You Drop and Affair of the Heart During the tune Human Touch Springfield reached into the rambunctious crowd to do some touching. That set off the glass-shattering, eardrum-piercing shriekers again in their unique celebration of youth. Cyndi Lauper nocent extraterrestrial as a wizened, hardened, Hollywood pro wearing shades on top of his head, a big ruby ring, and the paraphernalia of both swinging (amulets with horns) and cocaine (razor blade and coke spoon) around his neck.

Never has the newspaper experienced such a fall-out of bitter response from kids, parents and even Holly wood insiders. The editors had to apologize and even wrote a letter to E.T. begging his forgiveness. The Calendar issue had to do with the fact that E.T. is now a true Hollywood veteran success story.

Steven Spielberg's magnificent mini-star will be re-released July 12 to a waiting summer public. This, after earning $619 million gross, plus hundreds of millions more from over 200 merchandising items. Credit! Hollywood's burgeoning new wave of technical creativity is now giving us an entirely new set of wild titles in the rolling credits. For instance, in 20th Century-Fox's Cocoon, there is a "special creature consultant," as well as an "alien movement choreographer," plus a "voice caster" and "gravity performers," not to mention the "additional dolphin voices." Columnist Suzy is on a veritable youthquake with her scoops about the young and the restless. She told us this week that the Flamingo Kid star, Janet Jones, is sizzling because of her role in the movie of A Chorus Line and will soon be seen on the cover of Life magazine.

I do hope Life, in its story, twigs onto the fact that Janet is the girlfriend of tennis ace Vitas Gerulaltis. And are they ever serious! In fact, I think one might call them by that old-fashioned term engaged. One of the most energetic actors in today's new movie biz is Andrew McCarthy, who made his debut as Jackie Bisset's lover in Class and starred in Tri-Star's Heaven Help Us. They say he's even. hotter because of St Elmo's Fire.

Now, Andrew also has the lead opposite Molly Ringwald in John Hughes' Pretty In Pink tor Paramount. Opening act American Excess, a Miami band that won a contest to open for Springfield, showed potential Led by Diana Bridges' strong vocals and Carlos Garcia's guitar playing, the band showed some flair and ability. Their set, however, was too long for a crowd unfamiliar with the band's music. Though some of their material sounded repetitive, Bridges can sing, the band can play and with some work, American Excess may reach the American Dream. WCIX goes stereo By Bill Kelley Television Writer On Sunday, Miami's WCIX-Ch.

6 becomes the first South Florida commercial TV station to begin sporadic stereo broadcasts, with a special telecast of 2001 A Space Odyssey. The three-hour telecast (7-10 p.m.) of the 1968 science fiction movie is the first of several stereo broadcasts scheduled for July. WCIX also plans to carry Live Aid an 11-hour, satellite-broadcast rock concert by the musicians involved in African famine relief -on July 13.

Whether she'll now take the planned trip to Bermuda to rest up isn't known. It was a best kept secret, he site of Cyndi's She was in Nashville's Southern Hills Medical Center. The first h'ing she asked, on coming out of th: anesthetic, was: "Did Boy George say yes about the CBS-TV special?" This is the show Cyndi do with George, Roddy Pipe and a host of her favorite wresers. Do'you watch ABC's Entertain-mentt Tonight and do you like to eavesdrop? Here's what I heard reporter.

Dixie Whatley say to Helen Guriey Brown: "I buy exactly two magazines without fail each month Cosmopolitan and Omni Read my lips: Loved those headlines in last week's John DeLorean-Cristina Ferrare standoff, wherein they went to court in N.J. arguing over where their coming $10 million property and custody-of-the-children battle will take place. The New York Post called it a "tug of love" and the JVew York News had DeLorean saying, nobly, "Take My But Give Me Kids." His actual quote was: "If she'll just let me have my kids, she can have it all!" Isn't that sweet and touching? Daddy wants 13-year-old Zachary and 7-year-old Kathryn. He wants them so much and yet he hasn't paid one red cent for his daughter's support since he and Cristina split, according to Cristina. Nobody could have been more loyal than Cristina was to John throughout his arrest and trial ordeal.

But when he was acquitted, she exited, having "had it." Cristina knew her love and trust had been misplaced. Now, she has married the true love of her life, TV exec Tony Thomopoulos, and her ex, riddled with rage, jealousy and a sense of vendetta, just can't stand the idea of her happiness. If you don't read the Washington you've missed Chuck Conconi's amazing story about the end Nora Ephron-Carl Bernstein marriage. Yes, I know most people assumed they'd been divorced years ago, but it really only happened last Thursday in a D.C. court' Conconi writes of the famed Watergate reporter and the witty woman who skewered him so brilliantly in her novel, Heartburn, that "the drama continues." He says: "In addition to the divorce, Nora and Carl signed an unusual agreement as to how Bernstein and their children will be presented in the (forthcoming) movie (wherein Meryl Streep and Mandy Patlnkin will play the leading roles, with Mike Nichols directing for Paramount)." Conconi: "Nichols, Ephron and Paramount Pictures stated that Bernstein may read the screenplay and any subsequent drafts written for the movie, view one of the cuts of the film and submit any concerns.

He also will meet with Nichols. The agreement stipulates that Ephron will not write about Bernstein or the family and says that her name will not appear on any future production Heartburn, suf as a 1 6 VZsL ft.
