Yeah, but the stooges were a comedy brother trio of three (well 4 with shemp), so a woman in any role wouldn't makes sense.
Hollywood only cares if it'll make DOLLARS! Anyhow -- I can imagine the runaway success that would be
The Three Stoogettes, with Ellen DeGeneres gettin' mean as Mae, Phyllis Diller lookin' "fine" as Carrie, and roly-poly Rosie O'Donnell filling the screen as Curly-Sue! In their first episode "Crime of the Month", Curly-Sue goes on a PMS rampage every time she hears the song "I Want To Know What Love Is" and can only be stopped by satisfying her sweet tooth ("Mae! Carrie! The cheesecake! Mae! Carrie! The cheesecake!")
Plus Sarah Jessica Parker would be a "shoe-in" to play ugly ol' Shemp (Shempella?) because, as
Family Guy's Peter Griffin says, "She's got a face like a foot!"
