Pregnant Hilary Duff Makes $100k For Being Let Go From 'Bonnie And Clyde' Flick

Talk about the perks of a well-designed contract. After announcing her pregnancy, Hilary Duff was dropped from her once forthcoming flick, "Bonnie and Clyde" -- but not without a pretty penny to send her packing.

According to TMZ, Duff had a play-or-pay contract so that if, for any reason, she was let go from the film, she would still be payed $100,000. Not a bad payout for a gig that you never even started.

Duff's disassociation from the project comes on the heels of the exciting announcement that she'll now be eating for two. Duff and her husband of one year, Mike Comrie, took to the Disney born and bred actress' website to share the big news -- "We also want to share the exciting news that.. BABY MAKES THREE!!!" she wrote before continuing that the couple is "extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives."

Since the announcement, there hasn't been a photog in L.A. who isn't on Duff bump duty, hoping to snag the first shots of "Lizzie McGuire" all grown up and pregnant.

But now that Duff's out of the "Bonnie and Clyde" picture, who will step in to fill her shoes? We've got a few suggestions:

"she would still be payed $100,000..."

It is typically spelled "paid." The internet is a land without proofreaders, or people who can spell, for that matter.

Clearly this is not ever going to be a serious movie about Bonnie and Clyde if they were ever going to put Hilary Duff in it. She does have the looks but she most certainly doesn't have the attitude. It's going to be more of the same from Hollywood, all style, no substance. Now Juliette Lewis and Woody Harrelson on the other hand...

On another note, I got a kick out of imagining the Will and Jada Smith in the roles! Or the Olsens! Now that would be a scream!

Does Will Smith ever just 'smile'. Instead, he looks like he's ready for a hot dog or a banana....anyway...he and Jada are pretty much fake in my perception.

Brad and Jen? Ughhh. I would never be able to take Jennifer Ainiston seriously as Bonnie. I would watch a Freeman & Mirren match up. Or the Smiths!

Congrats to Hilary on her pregnancy. I hope everything goes well and that the baby is healthy.

If they're going to try to match talent level here, maybe they can get LiLo or Paris Hilton to take the role.

I can't imagine Hillary Duff doing it after Fay Dunaway! ...and that was at Dunaways peak also! ...only reason is because she seems to have a little of that Dunaway look in the film ...but the acting .....no comparison! ..
whoever does it ....is going to have a real problem following Fay Dunaway ...just saying ...you might have to go to British actresses ...who seem to be better actresses at this point in time...

Duff's $100,000 pay day is nothing compared to Virgin Records paid Mariah Carey $28 million to go away after the failure of "Glitter". But that's nothing compare to all of the failure of The Bush Cabinet & all the money they made from it then and now but we're not talking about politics.

The Olsen twins? Seriously, this is the list that they come up with? Might as well add Chris Brown and Rihanna in the mix.

Also, what's up with the obsession over "baby bump" pics lately? These people are not aliens; they're women, going through a regular phase of pregnancy, just like the billions of other women around the world.

And people actually get paid at HP for coming up with these suggestions? Might as well add Chris Brown and Rihanna in the mix.

Call me un-evolved, but somehow that doesn't quite seem fair to the studio. If that's what the contract says, then so be it, but you would think they would have some sort of AOG clause to cover something which is clearly not their fault or their problem. (Hold up production for Hilary Duff? I don't think so.)

See what a strong union can get ya?
