We're told LiLo's character in "The Other Side" will now be played by Olivia Thirlby -- who's only appeared in a few movies, including "Juno" and "The Wackness."

The pretty 14-year-old showed up to an event in NYC last night looking quite lovely.

Danny -- along with his wife Rhea Perlman and his "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" co-star Charlie Day -- were leaving dinner in Beverly Hills last night when they fired off a list of possible Oswald Cobblepot contenders ... before settling on the "perfect" guy.

The judge in the case not only ruled against the bingo lady -- Richelle Olson -- he also ordered the accuser to fork over $17k to pay for all of Team Bruno's attorney's fees.

As TMZ first reported, Olson wanted more than $25,000 in damages -- claiming Cohen, in full Bruno character, wreaked havoc at her Palmdale, CA bingo game back in 2007 and ordered his camera crew to attack when she tried to take his mic away.

Olson later changed her story and claimed she was never beaten, just merely emotionally damaged from Cohen's use of "vulgar" language ... a story that didn't quite add up according to legal papers, filed in L.A. County Superior Court.

Lindsay Lohan was axed from a movie because she's not "bankable" -- this according a source connected with the production of the flick.

Lindsay was slated to star in "The Other Side," a movie about a grad student working on a deserted island.

David Michaels, the writer/director, tells TMZ, "Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we'll soon be announcing a replacement."

But sources connected with the film tell us the people financing the film were skittish about relying on Lindsay.

The movie also stars Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette.

And there's this twist ... at one point Brittany Murphy was attached to the movie.

Lindsay's rep had no comment.

Quinton Aaron's former agency is ticked at him and claims it dropped the "Blind Side" star because no one wanted to hire him ... this according to a source at the agency.

Last week, Aaron told our photog it was he who did the dumping, saying, "You need to do what's best for you ... because if you're with people that don't believe in you, your career ain't gonna go nowhere."

But a source at APA bristles at Aaron's proclamation, telling TMZ they were the ones who ended the relationship because they "couldn't get him arrested" in this town.

Is there a "Blind Side" curse? Stay tuned.

Here's the 33-year-old Oscar winner back in 1989 (left) -- and 21 years later, the 54-year-old version at an event in NYC this week (right).

Speechless.

According to a federal lawsuit filed on Thursday, Lucasfilm says a company called EZ2FLY has been making and selling a remote-controlled toy called a RCX4-Star Stryker -- which they allege is a knock-off of the popular X-wing fighter from the "Star Wars" movies.

Furthermore, Lucasfilm claims the company used the "Star Wars" theme and their "Imperial March" music in conjunction with promoting the product.

As Aaron was leaving Boulevard3 in Hollywood last night, the 6'8" actor told us he officially left the APA talent agency claiming, "You need to do what's best for you ... because if you're with people that don't believe in you, your career ain't gonna go nowhere."

One of the things Aaron wants to do: Meet the real life "Blind Side" inspiration Michael Oher ... because according to Aaron, the two have never even talked on the phone.

A woman clutching what looks like a couple of scripts from Creative Artists Agency -- CAA -- just made a special delivery to Sandra Bullock's Hollywood Hills home.

TMZ broke the story Jesse checked into Sierra Tucson in Arizona, a facility that treats sex, drug, alcohol and other disorders.

While preparing to shoot the movie, "28 Days" -- which was released in 2000 -- Sandra spent a few days at Sierra. Her role in the movie: A drunk who was given the choice ... rehab or jail.

The actor who plays the British Lieutenant in "Inglourious Basterds" allegedly broke his ex-girlfriend's nose after a night of heavy boozing ... and now she wants protection from a judge, and stat.

Michael Fassbender's ex -- Sunawin Andrews -- filed a petition for a restraining order against him earlier this month in L.A. County Superior Court.

In the documents, Andrews claims Michael hit the bottle hard during a film festival in July of 2009 -- and after he woke up in a puddle of his own urine, he became violent and "threw me over a chair breaking my nose."

Andrews also says Michael allegedly dragged her alongside their car one night after they had an argument about one of her ex-boyfriends ... causing her to twist her left ankle, blow out her left knee cap and burst an ovarian cyst.

Andrews says she fears for her life and wants to keep Michael 100 yards away from herself and her two children -- and wants over $20,000 to help her pay her medical bills from the injuries he allegedly caused.

Repeated attempts to reach Michael's agent were unsuccessful.
