Well let it never be said that actor Gary Busey is anything but consistent! Just weeks after being fired from the Donald and his hair on "Celebrity Apprentice", he's just lost out on yet another gig, this time in the horror genre.
According to E! Online Busey did get axed again, this time from filming the upcoming horror flick Mansion of Blood.
While not exactly denying reports that several members of the production had complained to producers about the actor, Busey's publicist tells E! News that "contractual issues" were to blame for Gary leaving.
"The situation was plagued by contractual issues and misunderstandings from the outset," rep Michael Conley said. "Gary considers the episode concluded and has no further comment on the matter."
Sources quoted by TMZ allege that the production was frustrated with the thespian, complaining that he was difficult to work with and had made inappropriate remarks to a woman on set.

Last Tuesday, October 20th, FM hosted a very special event to honor a very special person. The occasion: Carla Laemmle’s 100th birthday.
Carla, the niece of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle, was a phenomenal dancer even as a young girl. In 1925, at age fifteen, she snagged a role in the silent film version of The Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney and Mary Philbin (84 years later, she is the last surviving member of the film’s cast). Six years later, Carla had the first spoken line ever heard in a horror film, with a part in Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi.
