Ryan Gosling Fired, Mark Wahlberg Hired

http://socialitelife.celebuzz.com/images/2007/10/mark_wahlberg_102307_01-thumb.jpg

Ryan Gosling acted the fool on the set of Peter Jackson's new flick "The Lovely Bones" and diva-ed his way right out of a job. Jackson recruited Mark Wahlberg to step into the role Gosling was playing. Red Sox Nation represent! Though, Gosling's a fine actor so hopefully Marky Mark's up to the task. He tends to be a little comme ci comme ca. What's up with the talented ones thinking they can jerk it up just because they can do accents or act like they're retarded or from another planet?

"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." The flick is based on the best-selling novel by Alice Sebold. A rep for Gosling did not return calls.
Peter Jackson's rad. He brought Middle-Earth to life! Nothing pleases me more than when some egotistical wad of an actor gets taken down a peg or two. Jackson made so much goddamn money with the hobbits that even "King Kong" couldn't dilute his power. Peter's fat, from New Zealand and doesn't brook any insolence. Yelling at wardrobe? You wear what we say you're gonna wear, puppet! Or Gollum will eat you!

Actually, Peter thinned down quite a bit since LOTR.

Umm, aren't you supposed to mention NY Post Page Six as the source of these quotes? Otherwise, you know, it's plagiarism?

Hi - J. Harvey here.

Serendipity - please note that whenever we use a source article, there is ALWAYS a link to it in the body of the post. Note that the phrase "step into the role Gosling was playing" is in green lettering and it is underlined. This indicates that it is a link to the source article or a link to another article about the person indicated. You will see these in almost ALL of our posts unless it is a straight photo post, an announcement or A Socialite's Life exclusive.

Thanks!

I think anyone attached to Disney turns up to be an utter douche. Just check the record.

Also, why does serendipity hate America?

Whatever Stupidipity, that's earth shattering.

now, to more pressing matters, Ryan can act, but Marky Mark's got the bod...let's hope they revise the script to include some nudity.

Maybe Serendipity is Perez Hilton.

Maybe Gollum will eat Stupidipity too.

Maybe Stupidipity is Ryan Gosling.

I was going to say something about how I wish more directors would take uppity actors down a peg or two, but after reading these comments all I can do is laugh. Stupidipity! Awesome.

I can't seem to shake the notion that Ryan Gosling looks uncannily like DAVID ARQUETTE (particularly in that new movie about the Real Doll). Someone back me up here...

Why did Peter Jackson cast Gosling in the first place: he's too young to play the father of a 14 year old girl. Marky Mark's the right age. The book wasn't that good, so they did the Gos a favor.
