Paltrow 'too Old' For Murphy Role....

Brittany Murphy replaced Gwyneth Paltrow in new movie Love & Other Disasters because, by the time writer/director Alek Keshishian had completed the script, the Oscar winner was too old to play a Vogue magazine intern.

Keshishian started writing the film 10 years ago with Paltrow in mind, but she has since become a mum of two - and he felt he had to recast the role.

He says, "She was just too old for the role. The character is supposed to be a young girl".

Ironically, at 29, Murphy is just five years younger than Paltrow.

However, Paltrow did manage to secure a cameo in the film.
