Grease was the word in 1978, and it might be the word again in 2003. Word has it that Paramount is heavily pursuing John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John to reprise their roles of Danny and Sandy for a third Grease movie.

Grease, which debuted on DVD this week, is one of the most celebrated musicals of all time. In fact, earlier this week at a DVD release party on Paramount's lot, John and Olivia got and sang together for the first time in almost 25 years.

As for the chances of a new movie happening, things look promising as original director Randal Kleiser has already agreed to return. The story is sketchy at best, but it figures to follow the 25th high school reunion of Rydell High class of 1978, since the idea is to get the entire cast back together.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh..."
