   		MGM gets its 'Stooges'   
   		Penn, Carrey, Del Toro part of studio's plan   
   		By MICHAEL FLEMING   
      
   		MGM and the Farrelly brothers are closing in on their   
   	cast for "The Three Stooges."   
      
   		Studio has set Sean Penn to play Larry, and negotiations   
   	are underway with Jim Carrey to play Curly, with the actor   
   	already making plans to gain 40 pounds to approximate the   
   	physical dimensions of Jerome "Curly" Howard.   
      
   		The studio is zeroing in on Benicio Del Toro to play Moe.   
      
   		The film is not a biopic, but rather a comedy built   
   	around the antics of the three characters that Moe Howard,   
   	Larry Fine and Howard played in the Columbia Pictures shorts.
