		Hewitt As Housewife Hooker Jennifer Love Hewitt will produce and star in the snappily titled She Had Brains, A Body, And The Ability To Make Men Love Her, a movie based on a magazine article. The piece, which appeared in Texas Monthly, told the story of a 22-year-old Texan housewife who had a successful sideline as a prostitute. Scandal hit when she and several colleagues were arrested with a group of well-respected, pillars of the local community types. Love Hewitt and her production company Lovespell are searching for a writer to do the material justice. According to The Hollywood Reporter they're planning to turn it into a comedy.

		Suchet For Bond? So, you thought the Bond casting rumours were over, right? Ha! We laugh at your optimistic naivety! Daniel Craig may have nailed down the spy himself, but there are still plenty of major roles to fill, and now rumour has it that Hercule Poirot himself, AKA David Suchet, is in the running. Naturally, Suchet's people have neither confirmed nor denied the gossip. But who could he be playing? Suchet has earned his Hollywood chops playing various Arabic villains, and he'd make a great Le Chiffre (Casino Royale's big bad guy). Or perhaps, since this is a prequel, the series needs a new and younger M to replace Judi Dench?

		Jamie Lee Quits Sad news for fans of Hollywood's toughest scream queen; Halloween star Jamie Lee Curtis is quitting the movie business. Talking to Access Hollywood, the actress revealed that she was no longer accepting acting jobs, preferring to concentrate on her family and other creative projects. "I write books for children. I'm a photographer," she said. "My life is so filled, so if I accept acting work now, it means I have to let somebody else do the job I want to do, which is raise my children."

		Because Harvey's Worth It The Weinstein Company has cut a two-year product placement deal with shampoo kings L'Oreal Paris. Ironic when you consider how little hair adorns the bonce of movie mogul Harvey W. L'Oreal will provide cosmetics for the company's movies and help to host premieres and other such glitzy bashes. In return, Variety reports, their products will soon be featuring in the background of whatever film the Weinstein brothers happen to be producing over the next couple of years. We're curious to see how Quentin Tarantino manages to shoehorn Revitalising Elvive Nutri-Ceramides into the forthcoming Grind House.

		Remake Of The Dead Zombies! We just can't get enough of 'em. Everywhere you turn, it's rotting re-animated flesh and brains for breakfast. Now that horrormeister George Romero is back in the game and films like Shaun Of The Dead and Dawn Of The Dead (the remake) are doing serious box office business around the globe, it's no surprise that someone has decided to have another crack at Day Of The Dead, the third in Romero's gory series. The good news is that the team behind this one know what they're doing. Jeffrey Reddick, who wrote the quirky horror Final Destination is working on the script, and Steve Miner is directing. Miner is best known for the highly entertaining giant croc pic Lake Placid. Cautious optimism seems to be the order of the day.
