Earlier this month, Demi Moore was cast as feminist author Gloria Steinem in Lovelace, the biopic about the life and career of the late 1970's porn star Linda Lovelace. Only three weeks later, Moore has dropped out.
Moore's recent hospitalization was cited as the reason for the actress' sudden exit and her recovery will be keeping her busy. "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health," said Moore's rep in a statement to THR. "She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends."
Just as Moore has dropped out, Chloë Sevigny has joined the cast, THR separately reports. Sevigny will play a feminist journalist working for a men's magazine that is on assignment to uncover the real Lovelace (Amanda Seyfried).

Last Thurday's airing of Jersey Shore was MTV's highest-rated series telecast ever and had more young viewers (12-34) watch than any broadcast or cable show this season (excluding sports). While this is likely to change soon, Pauly D is the only star with a confirmed spin-off and was seen at a New York Knicks game with Chloe Sevingy, in a strange celebrity pairing.

The Lindsay Lohan story is moving faster than an SUV driven by a drunken moviestar. Here's what we know so far:
Betty Ford Center staffer Dawn Holland has filed a police report against LiLo for criminal battery. Holland claims she was assaulted after Lindsay arrived back at the clinic after curfew and, when challenged by clinic security, LiLo called her a "c**t b***h" and sprained Holland's arm so badly she's in a brace and on worker's comp.
Lohan claims she never touched Holland and was grabbed so hard she started to cry and called 911. Meanwhile, Holland has been fired from the Betty Ford Center for violating its privacy policy, and LiLo has been moved to a secret location inside the facility. Stay tuned.
