This news sucks! I was so excited about Lauren being in the movie. Blah!

First it was Lake Bell… now there’s another victim in the gruesome “Scream 4″ casting cuts.

According to my aforementioned little birdie close to the set, Lauren Graham is no longer in “Scream 4″ due to date conflict and script changes.

Please, please stop weeping.

Who would you like to see take her place as Kate, the mother of Emma Roberts’ character Jill Kessler? (As if anyone could.) Who do you think will be the next cast member to get the ax? Maybe “Scream” is going uber-meta and killing off the entire cast before the movie is barely into production.
