Kicks from Nicks
High-stepping in front of the University of Southern California marching band was no ordinary majorette but Fleetwood Mac's main thrush, Stevie Nicks. She took to the field at halftime of the homecoming game during USC's centennial year. Mick Fleetwood (behind her) beat the drum for the Trojans and Lindsey Buckingham conducted, out of the picture. No, none of the Mac is a USC alum. (Both Stevie, a former high school baton twirler, and Lindsey left San Jose State without degrees; Mick studied in England.) The group showed up to thank the USC band for playing with them on their Tusk LP and in a concert. After the gig the Macs left without cheering the home team on to a 23-21 win over Arizona State.
Halston floored
Designer Roy Halston Frowick, 48, is nifty at stitchwork—but footwork? Even he seemed dubious as he was herded onto the dance floor by Regine Choukroun, 50. The disco owner was celebrating her fifth year in business in New York. Halston and 650 others shared the revels. Regine was wearing a Halston gown but seemed a little distracted anyway—perhaps by the noise all evening long of names being dropped.
Travolta's Saturday Night Special
Now that John Travolta's previous escort Marilu (Taxi) Henner is married (to actor Frederic Forrest three weeks ago in New Orleans), the 26-year-old actor is entertaining longtime platonic friend and Saturday Night Fever co-star Donna Pescow, also 26. With her Angie TV series canceled, Pescow has been singing at Les Mouches nightclub in Manhattan. John turned up several nights to applaud and, though he once kicked her out of the back seat in Fever, he happily hugged her backstage.
Gladabout Glenda
British actress Glenda {Hopscotch) Jackson, 44, can add a touch of class to any book-publishing party. So when England's Toy Libraries Association, of which she is president, published its new Good Toy Guide, Glenda showed up to promote it—and took to the streets in a kiddie cart. Glenda, who has a child of her own, Daniel, 11, by ex-husband Roy Hodges, maneuvered the saucer-shaped vehicle just fine, but afterward had one regret: "I wish I'd been wearing trousers."
Twin Kennedys
Although Joseph Patrick Kennedy II, 28, has yet to run for political office, Bobby's eldest son is on the way toward another tradition: big families. Two weeks ago he and his wife of 20 months, Sheila Rauch, 31, headed out of a Boston hospital with twins Matthew Rauch and Joseph Patrick III, born six minutes apart (Joseph's the elder). The new papa passed around a box of cigars, plopped the kids into baby seats in the family's beat-up Pontiac and drove home to nearby Brighton. Said Joe a few days later: "The hours of 2 to 5 a.m. have a whole new meaning for me."
Springsteen's sideman
If Bruce Springsteen (right) is the "Boss," as rock fans call him, then who's that fellow working for him? It was none other than Midwest rocker Bob Seger, sharing an encore when Bruce played in Ann Arbor, Mich., Seger's hometown. Springsteen once hauled his whole band out to Clarks-ton, Mich, to catch a Seger show, and Seger recently cut out of a mixing session in L.A. to hear Bruce in Memphis—but the two had never shared a stage before. Seger had a little trouble with Bruce's rapid-fire lyrics, but that was okay. Bruce himself flubbed some lines from his own Born to Run and had to be prompted by the audience.
