Here’s the Scoop….

24 is making it’s way to the movies!

With Kiefer Sutherland completely on-board as star, exec producer,
and contributor to the script, the flick is ready to head into
some key preliminary stages. The movie will find the nation’s
favorite counter terrorist unit officer heading to Europe to deal
with the bad guys.

The only thing that could be standing in the way of the show making
the move to a feature franchise is the TV show itself. If a ninth
season of the show comes through, than the movie will have to take
a back seat.

The buzz around the movie has begun. Start your clocks, 24 fans!

Are U excited for the show to become a movie?

Howard Stern Confirms He’s in Talks to Judge Idol…

Howard Stern admitted Monday that he’s in talks to replace Simon
Cowell as a judge on American Idol.

“There’s not a better job on the planet than judging that f—ing
karaoke contest,” Howard, announced on his Sirius radio show.

“It would be the best thing that happened to me,” he continued.
“What a cush job… $100 million for four months. Who wouldn’t
take that?”

The catch?

“They’d have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton
of dough,” says Howard. “$100 million to judge a karaoke contest?
Yeah, I would do that show for $100 million.”

Howard says he’d quit his radio show if he ended up on the Fox
reality show. His $500 million, five-year contract expires at the
end of 2010.

Naturally, he thinks he’d be perfect at the gig.

“If I do say so myself, I can’t imagine anyone else but me
replacing [Simon],” Howard said. “I mean, I don’t know. How else
are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast
and who knows how to be interesting? And who’s not afraid to speak
their mind?”

Marc Berman, the senior TV editor at Mediaweek, agrees.

“I probably can’t think of anybody better than him,” he tells says.
“He would create a lot of controversy. If they’re looking to keep
the show on the map, it’s not a bad idea.”

Angelina Jolie Heads to Haiti…

After her PDA-packed Super Bowl appearance with Brad Pitt,
Angelina Jolie jetted off to the Dominican Republic Monday
to visit hospitalized Haitian earthquake survivors and meet
with Dominican President Leonel Fernandez.

On Tuesday, the 34-year-old UN goodwill ambassador, who is
suing a British tabloid for claming that she plans to split
from Brad Pitt, is expected to travel to Haiti.

Last month, Angelina, who has visited everywhere from Iraq
to Thailand to Pakistan, announced that she and Brad
are donating $1 million to the emergency medical operation
in Haiti.

In a statement, she said: “It is incredibly horrible to see
a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been
suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so
many decades.”

David Arquette, Courteney Cox Considering Adoption…

David Arquette says he and wife Courteney Cox are considering
expanding their family.

“I don’t know. I mean, it takes a lot for us to do it, so
maybe adoption,” David said on The Bonnie Hunt Show. Courteney,
underwent in-vitro fertilization to have Coco at age 39.

David added, “Listen, I like practicing as much as possible!
But it’s hard… I’m exhausted!”

Late last year, the National Enquirer reported the couple were
in the process of adopting, which her rep called “a complete
fabrication” at the time.

Meanwhile, daughter Coco is growing up to be just like her mom!

“She’s a little messy so that’s sort of on my side, but she’s
very strong-willed which is very Courteney-like,” he says.

“We got her a flute recently and she is just walking around
[pretending to play],” David adds. “We’re jammin’ a lot, a
little Jethro Tull.”

Charlie Sheen Charged With Assault, Hugs Wife in Court…

Actor Charlie Sheen was formally charged in an Aspen court Monday
for the Dec. 25 incident in which he allegedly attacked his wife
Brooke Mueller.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin filed three counts
against the actor: felony menacing, third-degree assault and
criminal mischief. Charlie could face one to three years in
prison if convicted for the menacing charge. (Third-degree assault
and criminal mischief are both misdemeanors.) Charlie has not
entered a plea for the charges.

In the same hearing, Judge James Boyd lifted a protective order
preventing Charlie and Brooke from communicating. The modification
comes after the couple had mutually requested they be allowed
contact in order to mend their marriage.

“They’re very much in love, and they want to try to work it out,”
Brooke’s attorney Yale Galenter explained.

Charlie’s attorney Richie Cummins assured Judge Boyd that his
client “has taken a number of steps” to work on his problems
with anger management and alcohol.

At the end of the hearing, Charlie and Brooke got up and hugged
each other warmly but left the courthouse separately.

This Actor became a mental illness expert while researching his
new thriller Shutter Island, by spending hours watching dark
documentaries…

It’s Leonardo DiCaprio…

Leo plays a detective trying to solve a missing persons mystery
in an asylum in the new Martin Scorsese movie, and decided to
study the mentally ill to perfect his role.

But admits he maybe took his homework a little too far: “There
was a tremendous amount of research done involving the
entrapments of mental illness and the suffering that people go
through, so it led me to watch a lot of different documentaries
on mental illness.

“For a few weeks there, it was some of the most hardcore film
experiences I’ve ever had. It was like reliving trauma in a
way. It was pretty intense.”

And the intensity didn’t stop when filming began.

Leo says, “We were surrounded by it (mental illness) every day.
We were surrounded by dilapidated walls of an old mental
institution. We had somebody there who was guiding us through
the history of mental illness, the pathways of treating it and
the different forms of treatment.”
