“Talking ‘Bout . . . My God!”Several...

“Talking ‘Bout . . . My God!”Several scenes in “Sister Act,” the rock ‘n’ religion movie starring Whoopi Goldberg, were filmed at Hollywood United Church. So it’s only appropriate that the church’s choir will belt out four of the movie’s pop-style songs, including “My God” and “I Will Follow Him,” at its Easter Sunday service.

The morning’s sermon, by the way, will be “Suspension of Disbelief,” also appropriate for Hollywood.

Bustier breakthrough?We thought we’d found a clue to one of L.A.’s most notorious unsolved crimes--in a Northwest Airlines magazine, of all places.

An article on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Grill in Overland Park, Kan., mentioned that the memorabilia on display there include Chubby Checker’s boots, a surfboard signed by the Beach Boys and Madonna’s bustier .

Could it be the same piece of lingerie that was filched from Frederick’s of Hollywood during last year’s riots? The one that was never returned despite personal pleas from Only in L.A.? Could it have somehow passed through several owners, winding up in Overland Park?

Nope, says a spokesperson for Clark. “This is not the same one,” she said. “It’s actually more than a bustier--it’s a whole bodysuit with the pointy bra cups and all.” She added that it was given to Clark by a collector-friend several months before the riots.

There goes the guest shot on “Unsolved Mysteries.”

Different Walk of Fame too: Aside from the bustier, Dick Clark’s restaurant also advertises its own Walk of Fame--an area in the restaurant where the celebrity gewgaws are lined up in glass cases. (Don’t miss the last outfit that Elvis ordered.)

It sounds impressive but our favorite out-of-state Walk of Fame remains the one in Fargo, N.D. The sidewalk plaques there include a cement display of several of Tiny Tim’s footprints. At the time the singer made the impression, he was performing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips.”

San Andreas exemption: Over the years we’ve acquired many billfold items, including membership cards in both the Exotic Dancers League of America (honorary) and the Southern California Freeway Singles Club (we’ve been inactive since our marriage). Then there’s our unused Forest Lawn press pass (not much help in arranging interviews).

But we were only too happy to put one more card in our bulging wallet. It was sent along by the California Friends of Geology (East Hollywood branch) in appreciation for an item about the group’s fault-finding expeditions. We think you’ll agree it’s a card that any Californian would covet (see photo).

Smell, but don’t touch: One Long Beach resident, meanwhile, hopes flower-pickers will give her front yard a different kind of exemption (see photo).

miscelLAny:

Author John McKinney’s list of geographical redundancies--i.e., Rio Hondo River (Deep River River)--prompted a caller to insist that we give equal space to L.A.’s all-time champion: the La Brea Tar Pits (the The Tar Tar Pits). OK, OK.
