Stoogerama

A report that the long awaited biopic of The Three Stooges is about to be filmed with Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise has been denied. A studio news release declares live performers "passe," and is now planning an electronic production of the film.

In the new version, Larry, Curly and Moe will be played by Watson, the IBM "Jeopardy!" champion; Blue, the computer that beat Gary Kasparov at chess; and Hal 2000, the paranoid computer from "2001: A Space Odyssey."

"These are all seasoned, mature performers," according to a studio spokesperson, "and we expect no personal problems to interrupt production." 

We shall see.  Hal 2000 has scheduled his own news conference for later today.

    Soitenly! But the long-awaited (and probably never to be made) Farrelly Brothers project, which was to cast Sean Penn, Jim Cary and Benicio del Toro as (nyuk-nyuk!) the Zany Threesome was to be not a biopic but a new feature length Stooges adventure. Joe Besser, the second incarnation of Moe (following the sudden demise of Moe Howard) has written a poignant memoir of the era titled "Once A Stooge, Always A Stooge."
