FAMILY MATTERS: It's another boy for the Osbournes, with MTV matriarch Sharon Osbourne, 49, telling the New York Post that the family has taken in an 18-year-old orphaned friend of their daughters Kelly and Aimee. Last week, the friend, Robert Marcato, lost his mother, Regan, a single mom, to colon cancer -- the same disease that Sharon Osbourne is currently battling. "We're moving him in as part of the family," Osbourne told the Post. "He wants to go to drama school, and we're sending him to the best drama school we can find." She also said that Marcato, who's already been seen on the family TV show, will also be part of next season's "The Osbournes."

GREAT LEO: The race is on to bring the story of Alexander the Great to the screen, with as many as four different projects vying to be first out of the gate.

De Laurentiis hopes to enlist the support of the King of Morocco, who is expected to provide his personal army of 5,000 men and 1,000 horses for the staging of war scenes.
