As Brad Pitt has pulled himself out of Universal Pictures Production because he was unhappy with the script. Now the production house is trying to convince Russell Crowe to replace Pitt in “State of Play”

However, if Crowe can’t fit the role into his schedule as he is busy to begin shooting Ridley Scott’s “Nottingham” ,“State of Play” could be in jeopardy, Variety noted.

Ridley Scott told Russell Crowe that he was too fat for a role in “Body of Lies.” Ridley ordered Russell to drop 30 pounds in order to play the role of a CIA boss.

Ridley said, “I’ve shot with Russell for the past five weeks. That’s why he’s so sturdy-looking at the moment. He’s losing weight. He was 30 pounds overweight to do the part.”

First Ryan Gosling was too chunky for a movie and now Russell? Finally Hollywood is telling the dudes they need to lose a few instead of picking on the women all the time.

I went to see “The Devil Knows You’re Dead” this past weekend with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and although I love him I don’t want to see all his kibbles n’ bits! Kibbles ‘n bits with extra gravy! He has a sex scene with that hot bitch Marisa Tomei and his gut is like laying on her ass while he’s hitting it from behind. I go to the movies to escape reality!

While we’re talking about weight-loss, has anyone tried that diet shit Alli ? I want to try it, so I can be bikini ab-ready for Christmas ( don’t ask). I want to try it, but if it makes your kidneys fall out, count me out! Wait, how much do kidneys weigh?

It’s no secret that two of Hollywood’s hottest hunks are combining their efforts on one of the most talked about movies of the year.  And at the premiere of American Gangster, Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington were looking fine.

The Aussie actor spoke with press about what it was like to work with Denzel, dispelling rumors that it was an ego-fest.

Ugh and I’m on day two of jury duty and hopefully this is my last day unless I get picked for a trial. With my luck I will. I find out this morning if I made one and I’ve prayed to all things Britney that I didn’t. I can’t miss the next chapter in Brit’s saga!!!

UPDATE - Hoorays! I didn’t get picked for that trial and I was released this morning. I’m saved!!!
