Rumor: Casey Wilson Fired From SNL Because Lorne Michaels Is Crazy?

There's an internet rumor regarding Casey Wilson's departure from Saturday Night Light - a rumor I am more than happy to indulge. The Wrap reported that Ms. Wilson was fired from SNL after producer Lorne Michaels told her to lose 30 lbs. over the summer and she did not. In the piece, writer Josef Adalian argued the show has featured overweight women in the past, but regardless of that "fact," Casey Wilson is not overweight. Casey Wilson's body is a "normal" size (whatever that means). And I hate to go out there and express my personal views about a celebrity's hotness, but Casey Wilson is hot.

She was also extremely funny on SNL and I am really surprised (read: suspicious) regarding Mr. Michaels' reason for not renewing Ms. Wilson's contract. Ms. Wilson has been quiet about the whole thing, but she's also a successful screenwriter (Bride Wars (I'm sure it's bad, but at least it got made) and the upcoming Ass Backwards, directed by Paul Dinello (Strangers With Candy)), so she'll be fine.

I guess my "beef" with The Wrap is that they are using the word "fat" and it simply does not apply. They should word it that Mr. Michaels' fired Ms. Wilson over his own crazy delusions. But such a headline might make people actually read the piece, or rather, make them avoid it because it's not saying something hurtful and obnoxious.

Here's a video of Ms. Wilson being hilarious:
