You can take this out of the "Hollywood Is Still Running Out Of Ideas" box.

Charlie Sheen's new sitcom will be called Anger Management and yes, it's based on the Jack Nicholson film with Adam Sandler. But Charlie won't be playing the Adam Sandler role.

He'll actually be taking over the Jack Nicholson character who will be slightly different from the movie version. In the sitcom version, Charlie's character will be an athlete who got his master's degree in social work during his offseason.

Suuuuuure, okay.

And, in the show, his character will

No, that's not Charlie Sheen's head on a stick, that's just the most realistic and creepiest mask we've ever seen!

If you really want to scare your friends this Halloween or just scare your wife tomorrow morning when she wakes up next to you, surprise them with this bad boy over your face.

Landon Meier, an artist in Denver, Colorado, has created incredibly realistic silicone masks of celebrities including the MaSheen (seen above), Barack Obama, and Jack Nicholson.

The hand-made masks, that take Landon a week to make, are available here (or by email landon@hyperflesh.com) for $2,500. He explains the hefty cost by saying:

"I have to sculpt each one separately and apply every hair and follicle. They take a week to make, hence the $2,500 price tag.”

Pricey? Yes. Worth it? Maybe.

Whether or not jumping out of the bushes as a Charlie Sheen look-a-like interests you, we think this is the closest we've seen to a disguise Tom Cruise would have worn in Mission: Impossible 2.

We're crossing our fingers this mask makes an appearance in the upcoming season of Two and a Half Men. LOLz!

Would U ever consider purchasing this incredibly creepy mask?

James L. Brooks' upcoming How Do You Know starring Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson has lost its appeal to overturn an R-rating because of three little words.

And one of them is "fuck!" The other two are just repetition! According to the Classification and Rating Appeals Board, the f-word can only be used once to secure a PG-13 rating.

The film will be released on December 17th after it undergoes editing to clean up some dirty mouths.

Lame.

Between Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network and Hugh Jackman's EVERYTHING except Australia, we are going into this very optimistically!

Sorkin is writing the book for a Broadway play about Harry Houdini, with Jackman set to star as the legendary magician.

…But it gets better! The score is being composed by Danny Elfman!!!

Sorkin's previous Broadway playwriting experience includes A Few Good Men, before it was adapted into a film starring Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise.

He also wrote The Farnsworth Invention, which ran from late 2007 to early 2008.

Here's what Elfman had to say about Sorkin's progress on the play, which may hit stages as early as the beginning of 2012:

“He’s writing away. We all have high hopes that Aaron’s going to come through and do some good stuff.”

We're def excited about this one! Between Jackman's acting abilities and incredible good looks, and Sorkin's phenomenal writing abilities, we're thinking this could be pretty amazing!

Are U excited about the prospect of Hugh playing Houdini on Broadway?

A Few Good Men costars Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson are entertaining offers to star in the upcoming comedy El Presidente.

The film centers around a devoted Secret Service agent (played by Cruise) who is ordered to guard a former president (played by Nicholson). The agent's job is boring until a serious threat forces them to go on the run.

Dan Goor is writing the script for Warner Brothers.

We like the idea. Guarding Tess with a twist!

Let the fist pumping commence because Queen Latifah is just like the rest of us!

She's defending shows like Jersey Shore and Real Housewives of New Jersey, saying, that they're "neighborly" and "it's just a reality show. People just really are fascinated by watching other people's lives. They're just very entertaining."

The Jersey girl explains the appeal of her home state, adding:

"Jersey has always been imaged in a weird way. You know? Associated with mobsters and stuff like that. (But) New Jersey is a great place to live. And we have given some of the best talent to the world, from Jack Nicholson, John Travolta to Jerry Lewis to Bon Jovi to Frank Sinatra."

Uh, we hope she's not comparing Prostitution Whore Danielle Staub to people with real talent!

Jack Nicholson attended Dennis Hopper's funeral in Taos, New Mexico today.

The two were longtime friends and Jack got his first big break in Easy Rider alongside Dennis. Actors Dean Stockwell and Val Kilmer were also at the funeral.

The service took place at the historic San Francisco de Asis church in Ranchos de Taos where Hopper lived in the early '80s. His sons and brothers were pallbearers and his body was interred at a private burial service.

Rest in peace, Dennis.
