Katherine Heigl continues to provide more fodder for her haters. The actress was just apparently dropped from the cast of the upcoming flick Valentine’s Day, after she demanded an enormous paycheck for her part. An insider reveals, “Producers at New Line originally had Katherine on their casting list. They wanted her for the project, but during the talks, she came back demanding $3 million for the role.”
Producers supposedly would not dish over the dough due to the large ensemble cast, in which there’s no lead role. The crew of actors includes such A-Listers as Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Anne Hathaway and Bradley Cooper, but “no other actors asked for nearly that amount.”
Heigl, who’s responsible for one of the worst romantic comedies of all-time (27 Dresses), is insisting she bailed on the movie, but not because of money issues. Her rep called the story “ludicrous,” and says she “walked away from this project for multiple reasons.” [Photo: GettyImages]
