It had been rumored that Gwyneth Paltrow would reteam with the Farrelly brothers (Shallow Hal) for their upcoming comedy THE SEVEN DAY ITCH (the remake of The Heartbreak Kid) but we learn today it's a bust. The Farrellys have cast newcomer Malin Ackerman (HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE) in her place. No reason why a deal with Paltrow failed to materialize but the deal with Ackerman closed overnight. The actress will play "the psycho bride"; a bride from hell as soon as she ties the knot with her husband (Ben Stiller in the role that put Charles Grodin on the map). Michelle Monaghan (MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE III) will play the woman that Stiller falls for on his honeymoon. Filming is set to begin on ITCH later this fall for DreamWorks who will release next summer. Ackerman is currently filming the comedy THE BROTHERS SOLOMON with Will Forte, Will Arnett and Bob Odenkirk
