The Hangover 2 Will Not Feature Heather Graham as Stu's Stripper Wife, Jade

The Hangover 2 will be losing a cast member and gaining a cast member. Heather Graham's role in the sequel to the hit comedy "The Hangover" as Jade will no longer be in the script, but perhaps on the bright side, Mel Gibson will be joining the cast as a tattoo artist.

"Unfortunately Heather won't be in the sequel," said a studio spokesman to E! Online. "The way the story unfolds doesn't allow any room for her character to show up. I don't want to reveal to much of the film, but once you see it you'll understand."

Graham made it clear she was desperate to be a part of the sequel last year, expressing to E! that she thought Ed Helms' character, Stu, "should get (Judy) pregnant, and that she should do a pregnant strip dance."

Graham added, "I know it sounds so wrong, but it sounds so right."

Apparently that didn't sound right to producers as the Warner Bros. said there simply wasn't enough room in the sequel to feature Jade again.

Meanwhile, Mel Gibson, it has been confirmed, will play a tattoo artist in the upcoming sequel.
