GOOD MORNING: In case you wondered, as did Shirley Temple, who will play Bill (Bojangles) Robinson in the long-planned two-hour ABC version of her (first) autobiog, "Child Star" -- Well, Paula Hart who exec produces, along with daughter Melissa Joan Hart says the offer's out to Gregory Hines for the telepic (to shoot in Australia!). With the Harts also set to remake "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer," with Melissa ("Sabrina, The Teenage Witch") to play the Temple role, who'll play the Cary Grant role? Hart (mom, that is), says Pierce Brosnan has expressed interest; they'd be ecstatic if he does it, match. The Shirley Temple "Child Star" pic takes Temple to the age 15. The book went up to her marriage to Charles Black. They celebrate their 50th wedding anni, Dec. 16 in Beijing. They'll be there along with Henry Kissinger for the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Inc., of which Temple has been a board member for several years. She's no stranger to China, having first visited in 1977 when she completed her term as Chief of Protocol at the White House. Shirley is now at work on the second portion of her life -- as yet untitled -- and on which the Harts (Heartbreak Films) say they already have first rights to televise. As for Shirley's involvement in the telepic of the first part of her life, which will have moppet auditions in L.A. Sept. 16, she laughingly asks, "Do you think I should apply?" Seriously, she will be a consultant on the script (by Joe Wiesenfeld), but don't look for Temple to be a movie mother on the sets. Her one restriction: "that they be as truthful as I expressed in my book." She has approved her foto to be used on the badge for the look-alike (dance-alike, sing-alike?) contestants. I asked Shirley how did she really feel about working since the age of 31/2? She quickly answered, "I loved it!"
