It's been reported today that Lindsay was fired from the planned Linda Lovelace biopic "Inferno." But sources who have spoken to Lindsay within the last hour tell us Lindsay decided to drop out from the film so that she could focus more on her recovery.

We're told Lindsay felt the project no longer felt right -- but that she and the director, Matthew Wilder, remain on good terms and hope to work together in the future.

UPDATE: A rep for Lindsay adds that Lindsay is "concentrating on her recovery" and calls the decision to leave the film "mutual."

The cameraman -- Mike Skiff -- filed a lawsuit against Cohen and the people behind the movie "Bruno" last month ... claiming he was attacked by crew members while covering a Prop 8 rally in West Hollywood.

Skiff insisted that he was targeted because he had recognized Sacha in his Bruno costume ... just as Sacha and company began "inciting" the crowd.

But last week, Skiff suddenly decided to call off his legal war -- filing a request for dismissal with the L.A. County Superior Court. His lawyer tells us the matter "had become too difficult [for Skiff] to deal with."

The lawyer, Clifford Scherer, adds, "Mike is satisfied with the statements he made, and satisfied that people were made aware of the situation."

Bubba was spotted on the set in Thailand yesterday (left) where we're told extra security was added for his presence.

Our spies say they saw Bill walk on the set and were told by crew members he was filming a cameo. None of the people we spoke to, however, saw Bill actually step in front of the camera.

Although some people associated with the flick have told us Bill just "hung out," we've now confirmed he did indeed shoot a cameo.

In the photo on the right, you can see Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper riding in a rickshaw -- Zach is sporting a shaved head like in the pictures we posted earlier this week.

So consider this your SPOILER WARNING -- and click to reveal at your own discretion.

But you should totally click ... 'cause the pics are pretty awesome.

Here are the pics from the Thailand set of "Hangover 2" -- showing Ed Helms with a Mike Tyson-esque face tattoo and Zach Galifianakis with a shaved head.

So what's up with Zach's melon? We're told dude goes hairless after becoming a monk.

And Ed's face -- his face work seems to be the work of a tattoo artist played by Mel Gibson Liam Neeson.

Mel is featured on a newly released poster for his upcoming Jodie Foster directed flick "The Beaver."

In the shot, Mel's holding a sign that reads, "This person is under the care of a prescription puppet."

The 48-year-old scaled the Burj Khalifa which is currently the tallest building in the world at 2,717 feet.

As TMZ first reported, Sheen accepted a small role to play himself in a movie called, "She Wants Me." The script calls for 4 pages of dialogue.

It should take Sheen approximately half a day to do the job.

It may be a tough shoot, because we've learned Charlie lost his voice yesterday.

TMZ just shot video of Charlie on the set ... check it out.

Gabriela Cedillo's attorney Todd Smith tells us the 350k only covers her initial month-long hospital stay -- and does not include other costs like an airlift, ambulance rides, and the rehab facility where Gabriela is now.

Gabriela was partially paralyzed when a stunt went horribly wrong back in September.

Long before the hotel meltdown, Sheen committed to play himself in a flick called "She Wants Me" -- a romantic comedy about some dude who can't comprehend why his hot GF loves him.

According to producer Danny Roth, Sheen "has been in constant communication with the production ... there is no doubt he will show up to filming." Roth also says Sheen spoke with the director yesterday -- and informed him that he was even making notes about the script on his flight back from New York.

Roth notes that Sheen has a key role in the flick -- so if he doesn't show up, "It would force us to reshoot a lot of what has been shot."

A photog named Mike Skiff -- a gay cameraman who covers "events involving the gay community" -- claims he was at a Prop 8 rally in 2008 when a crew from Cohen's movie "Bruno" arrived on the scene with an intention to "promote violent discord between the assembled 'yes' and 'no' factions."

According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, members of the "Bruno" crew "carried 'Yes on Proposition 8' signs contrived for the sole purpose of inciting and sparking unrest to enhance the dramatic effect of what they may capture for their film."

In the suit, Skiff claims he began to shoot the "Bruno" team when they approached him -- "violently confronting [Skiff] with the threat of being clubbed with wooden signs." Skiff says the alleged attack was designed to prevent him from filming the event.

Skiff claims he was shoved, pulled and wrestled by "Bruno" -- causing serious injury. Skiff has posted video on YouTube of the altercation. Cohen appears around the 5:25 mark.
