'Eat Pray Love' Ex-Husband's Book Canceled

Hyperion has canceled "Displaced," the rebuttal memoir by the "Eat Pray Love" author's ex-husband Michael Cooper. Elizabeth Gilbert broke with Cooper before embarking on a global journey that provided material for her best selling book. The Guardian reports that "Displaced" would have chronicled Cooper's parallel search for purpose and self-discovery through humanitarian work across the developing world. "Displaced" was originally scheduled for a release timed to coincide with the movie adaptation of "Eat Pray Love," which will hit theaters on August 13.

According to the New York Post's Page Six , Cooper claims he finished the memoir, but split with his publisher after Hyperion pushed him to make the book more racy:

"In the end, it seemed to me that Hyperion hoped to push the book in a more controversial direction -- something I was unwilling to do. I am exploring options with other publishers."
