AT THE MOVIES, Grease rides a boom in '50s nostalgia, continues John Travolta's first wave of success (after Saturday Night Fever), and is the high point of songbird Olivia Newton-John's career. Earlier this year, a 20th-anniversary rerelease got a new generation greased up. IN MUSIC, the Bee Gees' younger brother Andy Gibb (left) tops Billboard's singles chart with ''Shadow Dancing.'' In 1988, Gibb will die of a virus-related heart inflammation. IN BOOKSTORES, Judith Krantz's Scruples, about a sexy Beverly Hills boutique owner, sits pretty on the fiction best-seller list. In 1980, it'll be made into a TV movie starring Lindsay Wagner. AND IN THE NEWS, scientists reveal that California's San Andreas Fault is shifting faster than was expected, and predict that a major earthquake will occur by the year 2025.
