Inqlings: Hollywood comes east to Philly

Philly's busy movie calendar means that actor brothers

Luke and Owen Wilson

could meet here.

Luke will arrive tomorrow to work on the comedy

Tenure

, in which he'll play a college prof facing down a female rival. Shooting will begin April 7 at Bryn Mawr College and is due to wrap May 9 - just as older brother Owen arrives to set up for

Marley & Me

, the flick based on former Inquirer columnist

John Grogan's

best-selling shaggy-dog story. Costar is

Jennifer Aniston

.

Marley

cameras will roll locally May 12, with most scenes transpiring at a farmhouse near West Chester. The movie, being shot mainly in Florida, will be here for 12 days over three weeks.

Now in town are

Jeff Daniels

and

Lauren Graham

, starring in the indie project

The Dream of the Romans

. Daniels plays a famous author and Graham a physical therapist. A storefront at 1607 South St. was transformed last week into her business, Straighten-Up Healing Center. Shooting there ended Friday. They'll be near Rittenhouse Square this week.

Big,

big

-budget movie time will begin in June, when the sequel to

Transformers

will start shooting.

Friday's mood at CBS3 was grim as nearly a dozen people out of the staff of 330 were let go, including the assistant to general manager

Michael Colleran

and one of the station's top producers,

Jim Barry

, who worked on investigative projects and just shared a National Headliner Award. Some veterans, including meteorologist

Tom Lamaine

, are being offered early retirement. Fox29 laid off four writers last week, but the station is expected to hire four others for what I hear are broader-focused jobs. These follow layoffs at radio giants CBS (a dozen jobs at KYW Newsradio) and Clear Channel (assorted jobs at its six local stations).

Details are being nailed down, but

Gwen Ifill

will tape an episode of PBS's

Washington Week

on May 9 at Penn's Irvine Auditorium. (WHYY members will get first dibs on free tickets.) The night before, Ifill will get the WHYY Lifelong Learning Award at the WHYY President's Dinner, and

Terry Gross

will interview her for

Fresh Air

.

Borscht, the Eastern European soup, will be the centerpiece of a short film to be shot tomorrow outside the Gershman Y (Broad and Pine Streets) for the Y's April 12 "Borscht on Broad" benefit, featuring comedian

Susie Essman

of HBO's

Curb Your Enthusiasm

. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., people can sample borscht, provided by local delis and restaurants, while director

Marianne Bernstein

and producer

Barbara Black

capture their reactions. Performance artist

Miss Koco

will do the interviews. "Who knew that borscht came in so many permutations?" Bernstein says, ticking off the varieties she has encountered. "When I was growing up, we ate borscht out of the Manischewitz bottle with a dollop of sour cream, so I think of borscht as pink."

Julie Andrews

is touring with her autobiography,

Home: A Memoir of My Early Years

, and plans to appear at Macy's Center City at 11:30 a.m. Saturday for a performance by Grand Court organist

Peter Richard Conte

and the Philadelphia Boys Choir and Chorale, who will do selections from such Andrews-connected works as

My Fair Lady

,

The Sound of Music

,

Camelot

and

Cinderella

. The first 150 people to buy the book at Macy's starting Thursday ($25, limit two copies) will get an autograph.

Sports talk WIP (610) and midday cohost

Steve Martorano

parted company last week - end of contract - prompting a scheduling shuffle. Station head

Marc Rayfield

is tight-lipped on his plans, saying

Pamela Anderson

would be paired with

Anthony Gargano

. My station sources say that's not quite so. Gargano's new midday partner will be night-timer

Glen Macnow

, starting officially next week. (Gargano and Macnow worked together when Gargano joined the station in 2000.) New on nights will be weekender/fill-in

Ike Reese

. Martorano plans to work with sports marketer

Craig Kaplan

.

WPEN (950) will start its Mike-heavy lineup Tuesday, carrying ESPN's

Mike & Mike

show at 6 a.m.,

Jody McDonald

at 9 a.m., ESPN's

Mike Tirico

at 1 p.m., new hire

Mike Missanelli

at 3 p.m., and

Harry Mayes

and

Dan Schwartzman

at 7 p.m. Among scheduled guests this week:

Jayson Stark

,

Peter Gammons

,

Dick Vitale

,

Billy King

,

Ron Jaworski

,

Mike Schmidt

,

John Kruk

,

Mayor Nutter

and

Steve Fredericks

. In the shuffle, Cherry Hill's

Glenn Foley

and Media's

Jamie Yannacone

were let go,

Michael Bradley's

role was up in the air, and

Meredith Marakovits

was designated "Phillies and Sixers reporter."

WIP will simulcast tomorrow's Phillies season opener (3:05 p.m.) with sister station WPHT (1210), the home of the Phils. Also that day, WPHT talkers will be at the ballpark:

Michael Smerconish

from McFadden's from 6 to 9 a.m.;

Dom Giordano

,

Anthony Mazzarelli

and

Dick Jerardi

, from noon to 2 p.m.; and

at 2 p.m.

Williams will be on

Angelo Cataldi's

WIP morning show from South Philly's Chickie's & Pete's from 5:30 to 10 a.m.; WIP's Gargano and Macnow will be on inside the park from 10 a.m. to game time.

The Phoenix Suns'

Shaquille O'Neal

, out for dinner Thursday with a woman at Sullivan's in King of Prussia. . . .

Patti LaBelle

, dining at the White Dog Cafe in University City with two others Wednesday; though seated in the dining room, she was permitted to order hamburgers off the bar menu. (It's great to be famous.) . . .

Chelsea Clinton

, spied having two vodka gimlets with her dinner at the Continental Thursday with an old pal. (By the way, a call to the Clinton campaign finds that her childhood cat, Socks, is alive and well at age 17 and living in Maryland with

Betty Currie

,

Bill Clinton's

former secretary.) . . .

Dustin Diamond

, fresh off a plane from the Midwest for a weekend comedy show, among the thousands stuck in Thursday's mondo traffic jam caused by a driver who stopped his Escalade on the Walt Whitman Bridge and wielded a toy gun and a bat.

Paul Perrello

of Metro Networks, who interviewed Diamond on Friday, said that after more than three hours, the comedian had considered offering his services as a negotiator. Saved by the . . . Screech?
