I remember when the fall TV season started, you men tioned something about Kevin James (“King of Queens”) los ing weight. He looks the same to me. What were you thinking? Wendy K. A. James did lose 40 pounds over the summer. However, he’s regained the weight, something he’d predicted might happen. Co-star Leah Remini says, “He takes some weight off, then it’s ‘Well, I had that. Might as well have some ice cream. ’ The next morning, it’s ‘Why do I feel so bad? I’d better go back on my diet. I’ll start Monday’.” Anyone who’s ever struggled with those extra pounds has to empathize. It’s a constant battle, Q. I love the guy who plays Potsie on “Happy Days.” I watch the show on TV Land. He had such a beautiful voice, too! Tell me, did he pursue a singing career when the show ended? I haven’t seen or heard anything about him at all. Linda M. A. Anson Williams, now 51 years old, is a respected televi sion director, having helmed episodes for such shows as “Lizzie McGuire,” “Charmed,” “7th Heaven” and “Baywatch.” To my knowledge, he hasn’t done any singing. Occasion ally, he’ll do a guest spot on a sitcom, as he did in a parody of “Happy Days” on “Boy Meets World.” Tom Bosley, who played Howard Cunningham, also appeared on the same episode. Q.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, THIS ONE IS CALLED “STUDENTS PELTING TEACHER WITH ROTTEN VEGETABLES AND EGGS?, JET NEWS of the “90210” reunion last May? Is it because of her feud with co-star Shannen Doherty? That’s what a friend told me. Paula D. A. Tori denies that. She says she didn’t participate because it was harder for her than other cast members to move past the show. That’s because her father, Aaron Spelling, was the mogul behind “90210.” She claims that, although she and Shan nen don’t hang out together on a regular basis, they’re still friendly when they do see each other. Q. I am a fan of classic mov ies. Recently, I saw one I’d never heard of before. It was “I Married a Witch” with Veronica Lake and Fredric March on Turner Classic Movies. Al though the flick was made in 1942, could it have been the in spiration behind the TV series, “Bewitched”? Norma L. A. Actually, it was. In the film, Veronica portrayed a vampish 17th-century witch who goes to 1942 New England to give gu bernatorial candidate Fredrich March, a descendant of the Pu ritan judge who condemned her, a hard time. Of course, instead of exacting her revenge, the two fall in love. While that wasn’t the premise of the TV show, the concept of witch marrying mortal remained. Q. I am sick to death of Paris Hilton! I can’t pick up a news paper or watch television with out hearing or seeing something of her. lust who is she anyway? Jan S. A. Paris’ main claim to fame is that she’s the heir to the $360 million Hilton hotel fortune. That’s about it. I agree with you, too. She’s gotten more than her 15 minutes of fame. That she even got a TV show was mind-boggling, considering the fact that she is not an actress! * * * Send questions to Ev c/o DBR Media, Inc., P.O.
