DEAR STACY: We caught a showing of "The Flintstones" on ABC Family the other night, and that got us wondering what Kristen Johnston has been doing lately? — Gerry H., Rochester, Minn.
DEAR GERRY: The Emmy-winning former "3rd Rock From the Sun" star is now starring on TV Land's "The Exes" with Donald Faison, Wayne Knight and David Alan Basche. The sitcom — about three newly divorced men who live across the hall from their divorce attorney/landlord — recently got a second-season pickup.
I must also point out that Johnston played Wilma Flinstone in 2000's big-screen romp, "The Flintstones in Viva Las Vegas" — which was actually a prequel to the 1994 "Flintstones" film, with Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma.
DEAR STACY: Is Ryan Reynolds any relation to Burt Reynolds? — Casey S., New Port Richey, Fla.
DEAR CASEY: Not unless in some very, very distant way that neither is actor is aware of.
DEAR STACY: How does Mick Jagger feel about "Moves Like Jagger"? — Just Wondering, Wheeling, W.V.
DEAR WONDERING: He hasn't made public comments about the hit song, but he must be loving it. We know for a fact that at the very minimum, he approves.
As Maroon 5's Adam Levine pointed out last summer, "We were lucky enough to get Mick's endorsement" for the song's video. Jagger gave the group access to all the footage of him that you see.
DEAR STACY: What ever became of Dorothy Provine, who was in such movies as "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"? She seems to have disappeared at the height of her fame back in the '60s. — Jean N., Canton, Ohio
DEAR JEAN: Provine, who died of emphysema in 2010, retired from show business in 1969, after she wed director Robert Day and gave birth to their son. Prominent in such fare as "That Darn Cat," "Good Neighbor Sam," "The Great Race" and "Never a Dull Moment," the beautiful blond also scored a couple of hit records in her heyday. But once she retired, she lived a somewhat reclusive life on Bainbridge Island, Wash.
