Mel Gibson, 54, was supposed to begin filming his cameo role as a tattoo artist in the next two weeks, director Todd Phillips announced that Gibson would no longer appear in the sequel. "I thought Mel would have been great in the movie," Phillips said Thursday. "But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew." Phillips didn't say who objected to including Gibson, who has weathered a storm of bad publicity over his personal life. The sequel will reunite stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms.
