It’s a jungle out there in Hollywood sometimes, leaving Aussie star Melissa George in treatment. Her latest TV break, that is.

The former Summer Bay angel jumped ship from the new series by Sex & The City author Candace Bushnell but will pop up In Treatment next month – another new US drama in the works from Entourage producer Mark Wahlberg and Andrew G’s gal pal Noah Tishby.

George was to have played a key role in Lipstick Jungle, but opted out of the show, after the pilot clashed with her new commitment to the “crazy analyst” show, her Sydney management said yesterday.

Filming on the series began this week without George, starring Brooke Shields and Bushnell. Revisions of George’s role saw the character’s age rounded up to 40 and the beauty just too damn perky and youthful-looking to suit the job. Source.
