Bisch slapped: Sony stops to smell Kevin's roses...

A romantic comedy loosely based on his life sold last month to Sony, which will pay Ashton Kutcher $10 million against 10% of the gross for the project, with screenwriter Kevin Bisch getting $2 million-plus to write the script for Columbia Pictures chairman, Amy Pascal.

Man,
