Ryan Gosling is out of the production of the movie version of The Lovely Bones. Marky Mark Wahlberg took over his role a day before shooting.
Now Tinseltown is abuzz (not aflame, that would be bad) with chatter over why Ryan won't be working for Peter Jackson on the film. E! says sandwiches did Ryan in...
"He ate grilled cheese every day, " says the magazine's source.Best pink slip story ever? I'll be the judge of that.
Sure, there's also something in the story about attitude problems, but who cares? Getting fired for eating grilled cheese...That's gotta be the best pink-slip story ever!
No.
Back to Ryan. The Post sez he and the Master of Hobbits just didn't see belly button to belly button...
Those old "creative differences" are to blame for director Peter Jackson's firing of Ryan Gosling from "Lovely Bones." "Peter couldn't stand Ryan," said one source. Though Variety reported that Gosling had "stepped down" and was replaced by Mark Wahlberg, our source said, "Ryan cut his own hair, and was fighting with wardrobe. He was so demanding . . . Peter booted him two days before filming started."If there's a war of words, no one's going to side with Ryan over the maker of the Lord of the Rings epics. Peter Jackson could strangle Ryan on national TV with a global Internet feed showing the crime, while singing the New Zealand national anthem, and a jury of LotR fans would acquit him faster than you can say "Glamdring."
