Violet Kowal, who spent some sexy time with Mel Gibson while he was with Oksana Grigorieva, claims that Mel is not racist, homophobic, anti-semitic, or any other kind of hateful person. Â Kowal’s argument is that while Mel may have said some unfortunate things that made their way to the press, in person he has always been a kind and tolerant person, and she has never heard him make derogatory comments about anyone.
Mel, of course, agrees – in a recent interview, he admitted to having said some racist things, but claims that it was just a low moment in his life, and not representative who who he really is.
Remember the Mel Gibson role in Hangover 2 that was taken from him and given to Liam Neeson? Â The cast of the film refused to work with Gibson, but it seems like Neeson hasn’t really worked out, either. Â The director of the film wasn’t happy with the way Neeson’s scenes turned out, but the actor was not available for a reshoot because he’s now busy filming another project.
Mel Gibson has had more than a year to wait to find out what was going to happen in his battery case with Oksana Grigorieva, and now it seems the wait is over. Â Prosecutors have offered a plea deal with a reduced charge (battery rather than corporal injury), and mandatory counseling without any jail time. Â In other words, he’s basically getting no punishment at all.
It seems the D.A. is finally coming to a decision about what to do with Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva, and it looks like both of them will get off easy. Â There’s not really enough evidence to charge Oksana with extortion, even though she’s known to have demanded money from him in order to destroy taped evidence of his violent ways.
Poor Piers Morgan, whose stint as the new-and-diluted fake Larry King got off to a tepid start this week, has launched a pathetic attempt to make himself seem cool and powerful by banning Madonna from his show. Â Stating that Madonna was “too vegan” to be of much interest to his television viewing audience, he said that he’d prefer to stick to people who are more relevant and current, such as Mel Gibson, Barack Obama, or Lindsay Lohan.
The judge who is presiding over Oksana and Mel’s court case specifically ordered her not to speak to the press about the issues between her and Mel, but Oksana politely ignored that order and booked a slot on Larry King Live anyway.
This movie is becoming the most talked about film in ages in terms of who’s in, who’s out, and so forth. Â The latest star to film a cameo for the comedy sequel? Â Former President Bill Clinton, who flew all the way to Thailand so that he could shoot his scenes last weekend. Â This may be the exact boost the movie needed so that people can finally let go of the Mel Gibson thing, since Gibson got fired from his cameo after the whole Oksanagate thing became a huge deal.
