FILM LOOP: Branscombe Richmond, the actor who hosts "Good Morning Hawai'i," has been filming DreamWorks' "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" at the Paramount lot in Hollywood. He plays Keoki, a Hawaiian biker-bartender. The bar set includes a bathroom wing, and when he peeked in the other day, he found posters of Barefoot Natives Willie K and Eric Gilliom above the urinals — along with shots of unclad women. "I wonder if Willie and Eric know they're part of the latrine scene," said Richmond, flushed with laughter. ...

That's the movie that director (and actor) Ben Stiller will film in July (with Tom Cruise, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr.). The hotel, site of auditions, has had Neville King, regional director of food and beverage, concoct a Tropical Thunder dessert — crisp meringue layered between five flavors of ice cream, whipped cream, tropical fruit purees and fresh fruits, topped with toasted coconut, crushed macadamia nuts and chocolate sauce. You can slurp it at the Voyager Grill. ...

That was Burton White, Hawai'i Theatre general manager and artistic director, lunching with Judy Murata, longtime assistant to Jim Nabors, who now divides her time between Florida and world travels with beau Bud Seretean. The talk: the decade of Christmas shows Nabors did at the Hawai'i. ...

PEGGY'S CHUMS: Artist Peggy Chun's home on 'Alika Avenue, off Pali Highway, was the scene of a "women's party" last Saturday. The men in attendance (with the exception of the band) had to dress in "drag." Chun has a closet filled with 50 costume choices. The living room was the stage; rock and blues were big in the jams.
