RECALLING ROMERO: Emil Sitka of Camarillo played the foil in countless episodes of “The Three Stooges.” But when he wasn’t taking a pie in the face, Sitka worked with more serious actors, including Cesar Romero, who died Saturday. . . . “He loved being a star,” said Sitka, who worked with Romero and Betty Grable on “The Beautiful Blonde From Bashful Bend” in 1949. “He really liked the party circuit.”. . . At 78, Sitka doesn’t party much himself anymore, but he may attend a Stooge-lovers convention in Philadelphia this summer. “I still get fan mail.”
