Lindsay Lohan Out as Victoria Gotti...
Lindsay Lohan can fuggedabout playing Victoria Gotti on film.
"We are not talking any further about Lindsay playing Victoria,
" says Marc Fiore, producer of Gotti: Three Generations. "She
is no longer being considered. The talks have stopped. We are
going to meet with other people [for the role]."
But just last week, it seemed almost a sure thing when Lindsay
popped up at the movie's April 12 press conference and looked
strikingly like Victoria Gotti. Even John Travolta, who's
playing Gotti Sr., in the yet-to-be-made flick said, "I always
thought she was gorgeous and talented."
So is Lindsay just too expensive and troublesome to insure
with all of her past legal troubles?
For now it's omerta for Fiore, who would not explain why she's
been "bumped off."
"She a wonderful person," he says. "Her legal case has nothing
to do with it. We just couldn't reach terms."
Meanwhile, Nick Cassavetes is also out as the film's director
but Fiore says it's all due to scheduling conflicts. "Nick is
doing the film Yellow and financing came through" says Fiore.
"We were just not willing to put Gotti on hold so we decided
to release him from the film."
But he's not worried about finding a replacement. "I've got
about a million phone calls from directors" says Fiore.
Anyone calling Martin Scorsese?

Penn and Johansson annoyed by Sharon Osbourne...
Sean Penn and rumored new girlfriend Scarlett Johansson were
so disgusted by Sharon Osbourne's loud and obnoxious behavior
during a recent dinner date, they asked to be moved to another
table away from the star.
Sharon was dining at a top celebrity restaurant full of A-list
patrons when Sean and Scarlett were seated next to her, but
after overhearing Sharon's crude conversations, the pair
implored staff to move them further away.
Sharon says, "Last night we were out at this restaurant and
it's full of every superstar you can think of and this one
certain superstar, couple of superstars, sat at a table next
to mine...and they moved tables because we were too loud and
disgusting."
When Pier asked the reality TV star, "That wasn't the
restaurant Sean Penn and Scarlett Johnasson were in was it by
any chance? I don't blame them..."
Sharon then hung her head in her hands, before adding, "They
were looking at us like, 'Oh, please'. And I'm like, 'Oh,
shut up, get a sense of humor'."
