It’s a triad of man meat all in one movie: Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin are in talks to star in a new gangster pic, according to Variety.

The Gangster Squad follows the Los Angeles Police Department’s fight to keep the Mafia out of LA in the ’40s and ’50s. Deadline reports that Penn will play a mobster to Gosling and Brolin's cops.

These actors are accustomed to sharing the big screen with fellow hunks. Penn can next be seen in The Tree of Life with Brad Pitt, while Gosling has The Ides of March with George Clooney out in October. Brolin is filming Men in Black III with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

See what other projects -- both personal and professional -- Gosling and Penn have on tap after the jump.

Oscar nominated actor Josh Brolin was snapped chatting with a mystery blonde at the SoHo hotel in NYC the other day, and his wife Diane Lane wasn't anywhere in sight! Then again, he's smiling and looking RIGHT at the camera, so if he was going to cheat on his lady love, we have a feeling he'd be a bit more careful about it!

Last year Playboy asked the star about rumors of his infidelity, to which he responded, "I don't f*** around on my wife. I mean, check her out, man. My relationship with my wife is fantastic." Well put!

If you're one of Charlize Theron's besties, then maybe you were invited to her BBQ for the 4th on Saturday! The Oscar-winning actress had a little beachside bash at her Malibu pad for the holiday, celebrating with boyfriend Stuart, natch, and guests like Josh Brolin. Jealous???

Presenting a lovely Naomi Watts and her significant other Liev Schreiber, the always dapper Josh Brolin and a surprisingly frumpy Amy Adams. Loves her dress though!

After winning Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the 2008 New York Film Critics Circle Awards ceremony at Strata last night (for their performances in Milk), Sean Penn and Josh Brolin headed over to a local convenience store together.

Penn may not act his best while around photogs, but he did give a dazzling portrayal of the Mayor of Castro Street. Kudos to him and Brolin!

Looks like our celeb feud of the month is between "American Gangster" co-stars Josh Brolin and Russell Crowe!

After accepting the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in "Milk" at the New York Film Critics Awards dinner last night, Josh decided to let everyone know just how he felt about the Aussie star.

According to the Huffington Post, after “Milk” co-star Sean Penn introduced him, Josh said, “Quite an actor, Sean Penn. And not an a-hole like Russell Crowe." Then, one more time, for extra kicks, Josh repeated, “Like Russell Crowe.”

And Russell isn't the only one Josh has beef with! Of New York Times theater critic Ben Brantley (who reviewed Josh's Broadway performance in “True West”), Josh said, “I hate that motherf*cker, and I don’t think he’s a good writer.”

Eek! Good thing we never write anything negative about Josh!

Josh Brolin was one of the many celebs who showed up to the D&G party last night, and the "W" star showed off his facial fuzz before he went inside to party. Though we prefer him a little less scruffy, he's still pretty hot with the 'stache!

Hey, there's nothing wrong with a little male bonding! A very animated Josh Brolin was spotted with a buddy in Beverly Hills yesterday, and we have no idea what they were talking about, but we're assuming it was something exciting!
