CHICAGO SNUB

The Producer Circle Co., founded by Martin Richards, has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Miramax, claiming that it is owed a percentage of the $300 million-plus netted by the Academy Award-winning musical Chicago. A Miramax spokesperson tells the Associated Press that she has not seen the legal action and could not comment.

ON BROADWAY

Robin Givens (Head of the Class) has been tapped to succeed pretty baby Brooke Shields (who makes her own debut this week) in the role of Chicago's Roxie Hart, beginning Jan. 16. Personally, I'd be more interested to see Mike Tyson do a turn as Hairspray's Edna Turnblad.

HOW BLUE WAS THE LAGOON?

Brooke Shields, she of Pretty Baby, Blue Lagoon, Suddenly Susan and, soon, Broadway's Chicago fame, will get the E! True Hollywood Story treatment on Sept. 11 at 8 pm/ET. Who do you think will set his TiVo first, Tom Cruise or Christopher Atkins?

AND ANOTHER THING

Las Vegas and Crossing Jordan will be staging another crossover in October… Huey Lewis will bring "the power of love" to Chicago this fall when he makes his Broadway debut in the Richard Gere role. In other stage news, Richard Chamberlain has agreed to tour with On Golden Pond… Saved By the Bell alum Mario Lopez has been tapped to co-anchor ESPN 2's upcoming ESPN Hollywood series, which, contrary to popular belief, is not a matchmaking service for jocks and starlets. — Additional reporting by Matt Webb Mitovich
