Daniel Day-Lewis Dressed to the Nine?

Daniel Day-Lewis tends to bide his time between projects, sometimes waiting as long as five years between Oscar nominations, er, film roles. But Nine could be the magic number this time around.

Variety reports the British thesp is in talks to play the role of a film director dealing with personal and creative demons while simultaneously trying to please the many women in his life—a part that previously belonged to Javier Bardem—in the big-screen adaptation of the Fellini-inspired stage musical, Nine.

The British scene-stealer might not seem like the obvious choice to play Guido Contini, but Bardem ultimately decided he was tired out from his other films and all that awards-season triumphing to carry on. No matter that the Spaniard's girlfriend, Penélope Cruz, is still slated to star, along with Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren and Judi Dench.

Chicago visionary Rob Marshall will be directing the Weinstein Co. production. A rep for the studio says no decisions regarding the male lead have been made and that any names out there now are "pure conjecture."

From the Mind of Oprah Springs...Spaniels

Oprah Puppies' Memorial Sculpture Daniel Edwards/ Leo Kesting Gallery

The Britney-giving-birth-on-a-bearskin-rug guy has done it again.

Sculptor Daniel Edwards, also responsible for Paris Hilton Autopsy, has fashioned a new conversation piece, this time a bust of Oprah Winfrey with "puppy versions" of her beloved late cocker spaniel, Sophie, and golden Lab, Gracie, perched atop her head.

Memories of Sophie and Gracie: A Puppies Memorial is a tribute to Winfrey's feelings for her dogs and also a reminder to all pet lovers to do what they can to prevent premature canine fatalities, Edwards says. (Sophie died in March of kidney failure, but Gracie choked on a ball last year.)

Explains John Leo, codirector of New York's Leo Kesting Gallery, a regular Edwards exhibitor: "To represent Sophie and Gracie together, joined in Oprah's memory as they were in life and in Oprah's heart, the artist depicted them as conjoined at the hip and sharing a common tail."

Nope, nothing weird about that.

Mario Lopez Likes to Get Naked

Mario Lopez has nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to his body.

But even he has his limits.

The former Dancing With the Stars contestant told me Playgirl has come calling. “I politely declined,” he said with a laugh. “It’s not something for me at the moment. But it’s ironic, because I’m, like, ‘nature boy.’ I’m always running around the house in underwear or nothing.”

Lopez didn’t invite me to hang at his place, but no matter. Just check out his new book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness.

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo Still in Play

More from Marc Malkin

The breakup buzz keeps getting louder for Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. But her camp is shooting down the split rumors.

“Not true, not true,” Simpson’s rep tells me. “I spoke to Jess yesterday and the day before. They are still together.”

And while Romo spent the weekend in Chicago, sans Jess, expect a reunion any minute now: The quarterback will be Simpson’s date when little sister Ashlee marries Pete Wentz this weekend, a source tells me.

But what about those photos that hit the Web today of Romo partying in the Windy City with a mystery blonde?

There was no hanky-panky, another source tells me. In fact, the source reports, the young woman has a serious boyfriend: “She’s a doll and they did have fun at the club, but nothing happened with Tony!”

Dennis Quaid Takes a Stand on Twins' Behalf

Dennis Quaid Paul Morigi/WireImage.com

Dennis Quaid was a man on a mission today.

Motivated by the pain experienced by his own family, the actor testified before Congress Wednesday about the overdose of blood thinners his newborn twins were given at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in November, which led to his current lawsuit against heparin maker Baxter Healthcare Corp.

Taking away individuals' rights to take pharmaceutical companies to court and hold them accountable for their actions would turn consumers into "uninformed and uncompensated lab rats," Quaid said.

In an effort to ward off costly, time-consuming litigation, the Food and Drug Administration has argued in the past on the behalf of the drug makers that federal regulation supersedes the need for state action.

But Quaid, having seen firsthand that government oversight leaves plenty of room for error, doesn't agree.

"Like many Americans, I believed that a big problem in our country was frivolous lawsuits," Quaid testified. "But now I know that the courts are often the only path to justice."

Dolly "Shocked" by the Shock-Jock Treatment

Dolly Parton doesn't care to be just one of the pack. The Wack Pack, that is.

The iconic country star has taken major, major offense at one of the Sirius Satellite Radio-approved bits presented frequently on Howard Stern's morning show, in which his crackerjack producers mash up celebrity quotes to make it sound as if the star in question has just said something totally raunchy—treatment that has been given in the past to statements made by William Shatner, Oprah, Stern show regular George Takei and others.

All of which is usually pretty funny, albeit gross.

But instead of laughing, Parton is now threatening to sue Stern for making it sound as if she liberally spewed racist and racy sentiments.
