The Wolfman, the upcoming Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins horror flick, looks more like classic horror than some sort of studio tent-pole, and with Hugo Weaving rounding out the male headlines and Rick Baker doing the Wolfman make-up, this film looks like it could be a very different beast from the rest of the “horror” we’ve been getting these days.

Does The Wolfman have what it takes?

Those who saw Comic Con footage were hopeful, and – for now – you can see what they saw…after the cut!

The younger sister of one Ms. Britney Spears will marry her fiance Casey Aldrige before the year is out, says Fox.

Clearly inspired by the brief but rewarding relationship she watched play out between Britney and K-Fed, Jamie Lynn is marrying a pipe-layer from Liberty Mississippi. He also happens to be her baby daddy. Maybe pipe-layers are more down to earth than back up dancers, but it seems like marrying a Spears can go to a guy’s head. We shall see.

Harvey Keitel is like a mature wine that you stash away in the shadows and forget about for a while. When you finally remember you have him you bust him out and take a sip and you suddenly realize he’s what you’ve been missing.

Not that we’ve sipped Harvey Keitel or anything.

We just mean we’re happy that the onetime Mr. White has ended his long period of exile from good entertainment (the Jerry Springer musical did not count) because we’re beginning to realize how much we missed him since his heyday in the 90s.

According to WENN, Keitel has been cast as Detective Gene Hunt in the US revamp of British show Life On Mars. Mars is set to replace Boston Legal on ABC and tells the story of a cop who gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1973.

This marks Keitel’s first time as a TV series regular and it’s obviously a sign that television is no longer considered career suicide for veterans of film.

We’re totally cool with it and excited about the show. Emmys are the new Oscars in case you haven’t heard. Just ask MVPs Kyra Sedgwick, Holly Hunter and Glenn Close. (Plus the telecast is better.) If we could get a good TV pilot for Pacino and De Niro our work would be done. Here’s to Harvey paving the way.

New bullshit for the start of the tabloid week:

According to our favorite classy rag, Star Magazine, Lauren Conrad of The Hills has been getting all weepy-eyed over the complete shambles that is her MTV sculpted life.

As the mag tells it:

Lauren recently broke down in tears at her Hollywood Hills home, wallowing in the misery that she feels her life has become.

“She’s an emotional train wreck,” a source close to LC tells Star. “She usually doesn’t lose it like that. But her life has spiraled out of control, and once she opened the floodgates, it was all over. She just crumpled, putting her head in her hands and sobbing.”

It seems she has a lot to cry about. She’s being slammed in reports for throwing a diva fit at a charity event, her clothing line has been dropped by Kitson, she’s feuding with her pals and her love life is practically nonexistent!

OMG! Lo snitched on LC! Does Gossip Girl now write for Star? What a biatch! Wait a second … Speidi is Gossip Girl!

Looks like the sudden-increase in shutterbugs due to America’s obsession with celebrity culture has finally crossed a line in the eyes of California lawmakers, who plan to meet to discuss new ordinances to keep everyone safe and avoid a mass-exodus of entertainers from the LA area.

AP reports:

Officials from celeb enclaves in and around Los Angeles such as Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Malibu and Calabasas are convening Thursday for the first time to discuss ways to combat shutterbugs, whose tactics have grown more aggressive and confrontational in the past few years.

Their goal is for each city to adopt its own ordinances to punish aggressive paparazzi, while keeping the rules uniform in the places where celebrities live, work and play.

“This is a response to their lack of responsible behavior,” said Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine, an outspoken paparazzi critic and organizer of the task force.

Zine proposed a “personal safety zone” around celebs earlier this year that police officials said would be virtually unenforceable. He’s also floated the idea of legitimizing the paparazzi - who are freelancers by definition - by giving them credentials, and in turn, clear rules.

This meeting comes after Halle Berry announced she was pursuing criminal charges against photogs who snuck into her backyard to get shots of her with her 4-month-old. Also, the bodyguards protecting Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s twins-from-heaven got in a tussle with some paps dressed in full on camouflage.

A fight broke out between X17 paps and surfers in June that could have lead to arrests, except neither group has submitted unedited footage to police that could result in punishment.

Some pap groups, like JFX Direct are in support of licensing photographers and issuing them guidelines, so if altercations occur and laws are broken, the cops can sort out the “professionals” from the hacks trying to score big on one shot.

The B&U always tries to obtain shots from legit organizations, because the last thing we need is Britney, Lindsay or Miley getting caught in a Princess Diana situation.

From The Associated Press:

Fergie is excited about adding the role of a prostitute to her acting portfolio.

The Grammy-winning singer has been cast as Saraghina in “Nine,” a big-screen adaptation of the Tony-winning musical. She will perform the saucy song “Be Italian” with Guido, played by Daniel Day-Lewis.

“She’s basically a prostitute on the beach,” Fergie told The Associated Press in an interview. “She introduces him to the world of sexuality. It’s a very strong song. I’m just thrilled I get to play a character. I’m singing, but I’m not singing as myself. I’m going to be singing as a character, and that’s what’s really exciting to me.”

Fergie, 33, joins Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench and Kate Hudson in “Nine,” directed by Rob Marshall (”Chicago”). Filming is set to begin in October. Fergie, whose real name is Stacy Ann Ferguson, had minor roles in the “Poseidon” and “Grindhouse” movies.

“I’m speechless,” she said of the opportunity to work with the film’s A-list talent. “I’m definitely going to be a sponge on set. I want to pick up on everything that all these brilliant actors are bringing to the table. I’m probably going to be the quietest that I’ve ever been while working just because I want to watch and learn.”

So, in other words, she’s playing herself? Or is she playing Carmen Electra?

Don’t get us wrong — we love Fergie Ferg — we just don’t think this role is much of a stretch for the Duchess. It should be fun to see her act alongside a bunch of Oscar winners and nominees, including the oil man, Daniel Day-Lewis.

Danny-boy singing is the stuff dreams are made of. We just hope he can keep his straw in his pants.
