Mark Burnett to Revitalize Walk of Fame by Having One Star Voted Off Per Week

· Mark Burnett will produce several shows based on the Walk of Fame, including a TV special set to coincide with the urine-glazed Hollywood landmark's 50th anniversary in November 2010, just 19 short months away. Could its new TV notoriety result in the Walk of Fame getting its own star on the Walk of Fame, resulting in a kind of mind-collapsing, Charlie Kaufmanesque glimpse into the meta abyss that until now has been relegated to the realm of infinity-mirror coffee tables? Time will tell. [THR]

· Yesterday's news about Ghostopolis was just the tip of the iceberg for busiest man in Hollywood Hugh Jackman. Also on his to-do list: 1) start developing the Wolverine sequel, which will focus on the Japanese samurai storyline hinted at in the Origins closing titles, 2) purchase Personal Security, a spec about a New York City cop assigned to protecting a teen heiress, 3) continue to nourish Drive, an adaptation of the noir fiction about a getaway driver set up at Universal, 4) convince his Oscar night duetist Anne Hathaway to climb aboard his Fox 2000 adaptation of Carousel, 5) star in Houdini, the Broadway musical with music by Danny Elfman, 6) make love to wife, and 7) tan.

· Also back in the trades for the second day in a row is Ben Stiller, who's in talks to star alongside Reese Witherspoon in a revamp of Used Guys, Fox's dormant sci-fi comedy set in a future run by women where "men are cloned and traded like used cars." Little Miss Sunshine directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris are attached to direct. [Variety]

· Warner Bros. has purchase Everybody Loves Whales, a screenplay based on the true story of three wayward gray whales discovered trapped beneath the ice off the coast of Alaska in 1988. The incident brought together the U.S. and Soviet governments, oil companies, environmental activists, Inuit, and military personnel, who amassed for the most delicious gray whale BBQ cookout you could possibly imagine. Oh, just kidding -- they saved the adorable creatures. [Variety]

· Guillermo del Toro is thinking about mentoring siblings Andy and Barbara Muschietti's horror tale Mama, a feature-length treatment of their short ghost story. Sure hope he says yes -- otherwise that's just being a mentoring dick-tease. [THR]

· Christina Aguilera will make her screen debut in Burlesque, playing "an ambitious smalltown girl with a big voice who finds love, family and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club." This has Glitter sprinkled all over it. Interesting side note: the director is Steve Antin, brother of Jonathan "Blowout" Antin, star of The Goonies and The Last American Virgin, and, according to IMDb, "boyfriend of media mogul David Geffen during the mid-to-late 1980s."
