The guy who directed "The Notebook" is finally experiencing the kind of sadness that he made us endure -- the kind of sadness that only a couple million dollars could cure.
Nick Cassavetes -- who's also a prominent movie writer -- has just filed a lawsuit against New Line Cinema claiming they baited him into a big-time project only to drop him right before it was set to go into production.
Cassavetes claims he was originally supposed to "supervise the script" for a movie originally titled "Elephant Orphanage" -- which was later changed to "Peaceable Kingdom." Nick says he agreed to take $275,000 for the job -- along with a promise that he'd get "several million dollars" to later direct the film.
But Nick says the simple "supervision" turned into a complete rewrite -- a service he usually charges $750,000 to do.
In the lawsuit, Cassavetes claims when he finished the script, New Line dropped him as a director ... and then refused to pay him a single penny.
Now, Nick wants $1,050,000 for services he already performed -- plus the "several million dollars" New Line originally promised him for directing.
See, Hollywood really is like "Entourage."

Looks like Zach Braff's show "Scrubs" may finally get an audience ...
Check out the script for the soon-to-be-made porn version of the show ... and it's not half bad. There's some character development, quirky dialogue ... pretty much just like a regular episode of "Scrubs," except with sex scenes -- so it's better.

Everyone's favorite Hilton headed back to school yesterday ... acting school that is.
Paris is brushing up her acting chops before heading to the set for her upcoming role in "The Hottie and the Nottie." The 25-year-old blonde was snapped leaving a Beverly Hills acting class on Monday with script in hand.
Unlike her role in "House of Wax," the romantic comedy doesn't include a stake through her skull.

The Queen of the Paparazzi was spotted at L.A.'s Beverly Center yesterday, toting a script for a future film role.
Paris is the only "actor" currently signed to "The Hottie and the Nottie," a romantic comedy to begin filming in January for a 2008 release -- whether you're ready or not.
