Just in case you knew a male who wasn’t interested in Wonder Woman following the selection of Adrianne Palicki for the lead role , there’s this news: Elizabeth Hurley will co-star as well. “Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman ,” Hurley wrote on Twitter. “I’ll be playing the evil villain. Can’t wait.” Of course, considering David E. Kelley is responsible for the pilot — and his script is reportedly horrendous — temper those expectations accordingly. [ @ElizabethHurley ]
Yesterday, I dredged up the terrifying childhood memory of the creepy ventriloquist’s dummy (if that’s not redundant) in the ads for Magic , so let’s keep the young-nightmare fuel going with a discussion of clowns. But even if those painted circus harlequins make you uneasy — studies show you’re in the majority — you should still check out the DVD debut of Federico Fellini’s fascinating The Clowns (RaroVideo).
Also in this Wednesday edition of The Broadsheet: Jonah Hill lines up his directorial debut… the Christina Aguilera mugshot has arrived… Channing Tatum is Peter Pan… and more ahead.

While you were sleeping, Charlie Sheen wasn’t. In between calling out to his Twitter followers for questions and comments , Sheen’s two children were removed from his home by police after his estranged wife, Brooke Mueller, received a court order following an alleged Sheen-ified death threat : “I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom.” Deeeeeeeeeeeeeep breath.

“Michael Cera runs. He runs in Superbad , escaping the police with his friend Jonah Hill, and he runs in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist , after a derelict played by Andy Samberg verbally assaults him on the steps of downtown Manhattan’s Grace Church. For all his running, never once is Cera chasing anybody. (The closest he comes is in Juno : just after crossing the finish line and failing to locate Juno in the stands, he runs to the hospital where Juno is giving birth.) He is never the pursuer. But then again, he is rarely the pursued. In Nick and Norah , nobody chases after him when he runs away, and in Youth in Revolt he is pursued only by a phantom, an id he cannot vanquish and is not sure he wants to. That is the essence of his running: a contest with himself, a test to see if he can become a man — if he can, to use the term of art, man up .” Now you know. [ The Believer via Looker ]
Colin Firth isn’t the only person with a voice. The New York Post brings news of a “bombshell” lawsuit from the makers of Hoodwinked that alleges Harvey and Bob Weinstein paid them $500,000 in “hush money” to keep the suit under wraps until after The King’s Speech won its Oscars. Considering the news of said legal documents are just coming out now, though, doesn’t it seem to have worked?

You know how Charlie Sheen’s sons were removed from his home early on Wednesday morning, after the Two and a Half Men actor threatened to cut the head off his estranged wife Brooke Mueller, “put it in a box and send it to [her] mom”? Well, apparently she was not the only person whose life Sheen threatened to brutally end in the past 36 hours. Winning?
