No Mel Gibson in 'Hangover 2' after all

As you may have heard, Mel Gibson was supposed to appear for a cameo in Todd Phillips' upcoming sequel "The Hangover 2," but that's no longer happening. Yep, Mel Gibson's gig has indeed be cancelled.
Thing is, some folks at Warner Bros. and within the production of the film were not happy at all with the decision to have Mel step in front of the camera, so to avoid a mess, they just dumped the idea.
Phillips said in a statement: "I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of (the studio). But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew."
Anyway, I don't think it will harm the film that much. They can find someone else to play a funny dude. Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha are all back for "The Hangover 2."
