Production has been halted on the romantic comedy Love is in the Air because of health problems of one of the film's stars. According to a crew member, veteran actor Abe Vigoda fell and suffered a broken femur during a particulary difficult scene.
"Abe was supposed to pick up Gabby (co-star Gabourey Sidibe) and carry her to the bedroom. But I guess she was just too heavy. Abe collapsed, screaming. It was awful. They told Gabby to lay off the cake. But, no, she ate cake non-stop. Now I'm out of a job. Thanks, Gabby."
According to representatives of the Scream Bloody Murder actress, she is upset as well.
"Abe and Gabby were getting along great. She enjoyed his free pass to Flip Brothers Pizzeria. He enjoyed the warmth on cool winter nights. It was an odd match, but one that worked. We wish Mr. Vigoda to have a speedy recovery."
Word from the actor's camp, however, is less than positive.
"He's hurting in a bad way. And you know that his leg will never fully heal at his age. Miss Sidibe was using Abe, plain and simple. Well, there's no more free pizza for her. She's going to have to get her slices somewhere else now."
Word on the further life of Love is in the Air has not been made as of this writing.
