Our stay-at-home spies called this morning to tell us that Mark Wahlberg himself confirmed on the Regis and Kelly Show that he is training for The Fighter!

Wahlberg, who is playing Lowell's own Micky Ward, in the biopic about the boxer, told Reg that Brad Pitt will be playing his brother Dickie Eklund in the flick. He also mentioned filming will begin sometime during the summer of 2008.

We are hoping that the Brangelina clan all comes to the Mill City! Keep your fingers crossed.

Stay tuned for more info on this story....
