Remember a few weeks back when it was announced that Rob Lowe would play Drew Peterson in a Lifetime biopic? (Because Burt Lahr from The Wizard of Oz is dead and Jim Belushi wasn't available?) Here's your first look at Lowe as DPete.

According to People magazine, it takes nine hours in a makeup chair for Lowe to vaguely pass as the noxious Peterson.

Let's repeat: nine hours for that? Who's the makeup artist on this film? Rick Baker? Whoever the makeup artist, he or she has one major obstacle to overcome - Rob Lowe is one pretty man.

But can he play a jagoff?
