While casting is still a ways off, perhaps the producers wouldn't mind a few suggestions:

-- Matthew McConaughey never wears a shirt and he's buff as all hell. Don't think He-Man plays the bongos, though.

-- Andy Roddick has the guns for the part. Can they Photoshop a whole movie?

-- Dolph Lundgren starred as He-Man in 1987's "Masters of the Universe." His schedule is probably wiiiiiiiiiiide open.

TMZ has obtained a publicity shot of the actor playing Howard K. Stern in the "Anna Nicole" movie starring Willa Ford. He may not be David Schwimmer, but he's still hotter than the real thang!

Actor Chris Devlin plays Anna's partner and Dannielynn's faux father in the independent feature. Although Devlin never got to meet Stern, he told TMZ he imagines Howard's time with Anna was like "being in a hot tub full of whip cream -- on the Titianic." Iceberg!

As TMZ mentioned before, the film also stars lip-glossed glamatron Bobby Trendy as himself ... which means the movie should be awfully hysterical!

The 50-year-old dewy-skinned hunk turned up at the premiere of Gus Van Sant's "Paranoid Park" -- looking like the sunglassed spitting image of Sylvester Stallone. Rambotox strikes again!

Oh Mickey, you're so fine. You're so fine, you blow my mind. Hey Mickey!

Selleck went on the air this morning with Los Angeles' STAR 98.7's Valentine & Lisa Foxx and said that he would be more than willing to take on the role again if the script were good -- and if they called him!

Who's being whispered about to play the pretty private dick in a Magnum opus? The buzz is that Ben Affleck is the lead contender. As hot as Ben is, he ain't got what Selleck's got ... a moustache!

The cast and crew had their wrap party on Sunday in Los Angeles. All were present except for the movie's star, Willa Ford. We contacted Ford's reps to find out what kept the busty blonde from attending, but her peeps were not available for comment by deadline.

TMZ staffers who saw Cameron at this weekend's VH1 Rock Honors in Vegas are in agreement; in person she is "gor-GEOUS" -- while others think the ruddy-skinned star has more in common with "Shrek."

TMZ wants to know what you think. Is Cameron Diaz hot or not?!

Dan Glickman, Chief Finger Wagger for the ratings board told the NY Post, "Now, all smoking will be a consideration in the ratings process," and that "pervasive" or "glamorize" smoking might snag an R-rating for flicks. Put that out!

Anti-smoking activists have long sought an automatic R for pix that feature puffing, but regulators stopped short of the instant R, and will consider films individually, as they always do.

Bruce Willis gave nerdy film fanboys the shock of their lives when he joined an Internet chat about his upcoming movie "Die Hard 4." Yippie Kai-Yay geeks!

Film fans on Ain't It Cool News were chatting about the new film's lame PG-13 rating when a member by the name of "Walter B" logged on, claiming to be Bruce Willis. Most fans were skeptical - especially one by the name of Moriarity, with whom Willis verbally sparred, telling him to "hit me with your best test." OK, what's Demi like in bed? When that failed to work, Willis took the technology route, hooking himself up to a web-camera to prove who he was in the flesh. Somebody's been watching "Punk'd."

Among the topics Willis covered with fans: working on the film "Armegeddon" ("A screaming director on set does not make for a pleasant experience"); his new hip-hip documentary, "The Hip Hop Project"; and his all-time favorite films ("Resevoir Dogs," "Bullit," and "Spartacus," among others.) Hey, what about "Hudson Hawk?"

While the rest of the country stood in line at movie theaters, the box office superhero enjoyed a beautiful Sunday with his own little six-month old webslinger, shopping at Fred Segal and sunning at a park in Beverly Hills. No CGI required.

With Venom, Sandman and the New Goblin nowhere in sight, a villain-free day was had by all.

This "Scarface" pillow will make for a lovely decorative throw on your bed ... and you can tell your bedmate to "say hello to my little friend!"

An eBay seller has crafted this wacky 16x16 water-resistant cushion. "Hey, pelican!"

Bidding starts at $19.99 for the fluffy Pacino headrest. "Lesson number one: Don't estimate the other guy's greed!"

After doing the required press for her new flick "Georgia Rule," the demure vision in white moved on to working on her personal publicity by lunching at paparazzi pit stop the Ivy. If only there were other restaurants in L.A.!

As day turns to night, there's no word on if Posh Lohan will ever surface again.

Tracy will be in court later this month to be fitted for a SCRAM ankle bracelet, which monitors the wearer's booze intake.

In this side by side, Trendy is seen as he was five years ago, with the extent of his flamboyance going no further than blonde highlights and serious lip gloss. In the biopic, Miss Trendy will be seeing wearing one of her now signature outfits, not unlike those glittery pantsuits worn by Liza Minnelli -- or Liberace at the height of his Vegas phase. Sparkle, hon!

Who's more convincing -- Willa as Anna, or Bobby as Bobby? Vote!

The crews had been filming there all week and letters affixed to the side of the old post office read: "Gotham National Bank."

When the fire first broke out, a witness said "We assumed it was part of the movie." Some special efx!

UPDATE: A producer for the film tells TMZ that no actors were in the area at the time. He says that the fire started in an airway duct that is used for a railway underneath the building, the sprinkler system was activated, and the building was evacuated.

TMZ has learned Kelli Lassen, the enraged production peon who angrily told the wife of a TMZ staffer living on the block where a Val Kilmer film was shooting, "You need to move your f**king car because we need to park the toilets for the Val Kilmer movie!" -- has written an apology for her crappy attitude and potty mouth.

In a handwritten mea culpa left on the TMZ staffer's door, Lassen called the incident a "misunderstanding," and labels her profanity-laced tirade a "courtesy warning." Where'd she go to school? The Alec Baldwin Etiquette Academy?!

Ironically, it wasn't even our staffer's wife's car, but Lassen apologized for possibly waking up the resident and for being abrupt. She claims she was "merely trying to eliminate towing," adding, "I sincerely care about the local Echo Park residents." Um, define "care!"

At 8:30 this morning, a movie starring Kilmer, "Columbus Day," was about to film in Echo Park near downtown L.A.

The residents were supposed to move their cars off the street. The wife of a TMZ staffer was at home, taking care of her one-year-old child when she heard banging at the front door. A woman named Kelli Lassen told the staffer's wife, "You need to move your f**king car because we need to park the toilets for the Val Kilmer movie." Nice.

We contacted Lassen, who at first denied saying it, then said she was reacting to a man in a nearby apartment who wouldn't move his car. She said she called that man a "f**king asshole" and then acknowledged she got hot with the staffer's wife.

Lassen apologized for her outburst, but added, "Val Kilmer can't even use the bathroom."
