Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson apparently hasn’t graduated from anger management classes yet. The tempermental director lost his cool when a professor challenged him on the depiction of Mayans in his epic film Apocalypto. The always eloquent Mel resorted to less than scholarly language to end the debate.

From TMZ:

After Gibson’s presentation, the crowd was allowed to ask questions. Alicia Estrada, an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at CSUN, challenged Gibson, asking him if he had read about the Mayan culture before shooting the controversial film. Gibson said he had.

We’re told Gibson also became extremely angry when members of the Mayan community protested on how they were portrayed in the film. The emotional Mayan members were escorted out of the room, and we’re told Gibson screamed a parting shot — “Make your own movie!”

What no sugar-tits? No attempt to blame the Mayans for all of the wars in the world? Mel must have been sober if all he could come up with was the f-bomb and a playground taunt. Someone give him a bottle of Cuervo before his next school lecture.

Mel Gibson may have some explaining to do…well, some more explaining to do. The ultra-convservative Catholic may be saying quite a few Hail Marys now that rumors are surfacing that he fathered an illegitimate daughter.

Painter Carmel Sloane claims the millionaire actor made her mum pregnant on a mattress in the back of his car before he was famous 30 YEARS ago.

Carmel, 29, said: “I’m not doing it for his money. I just want to meet the man I’ve always known was my dad — and for him to get to know his grandson.”

No, its not the money, they just really want to spend time with Mel (in the hot tub at his luxury country estate with a butler bringing them caviar and lobster).

Of course after Mel’s anti-Semite scandal this unknown daughter and grandson story probably won’t even register on the scandal sheets. Unless she turns out to be Jewish…now that would make a fun foreign language epic.

Courtney Love has revealed Mel Gibson forced her to attend rehab to battle her drug addiction.

The former heroin addict who was married to the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain says she refused to seek professional help until Mel Gibson forced her to. She told Britain’s Sunday Times magazine: “I kept slamming the door in his face. There were two drug people with me who wouldn’t leave so he couldn’t get me to rehab.

Love confessed she still regrets breaking off her romance with actor Edward Norton, whom she met while on tour with her band Hole. She said “I’ve either had the very good guys or the bad. I left Ed Norton who was good and wonderful for an average bad man. It’s upsetting.”

Mel Gibson points the blame elsewhere.

Mel Gibson said in an interview his anti-Semitic tirade last summer may have been set off by criticism of his 2004 movie “The Passion of the Christ” even before its release and by Israel’s war in Lebanon.

Gibson also said he was “ashamed” by his remarks about Jews after his drunken-driving arrest, explaining that “when you’re loaded, you know, the balance of how you see things but it always comes out the wrong way.” Gibson, who has been undergoing alcohol rehabilitation since his arrest, said he’s “quite ashamed” of his behaviour.

Even with all the drama going on around Mel Gibson, I have to admit that I still love him. I don’t care what he may have said about anyone… unless he starts talking crap about me, I could care less. Yes, it makes for good blogging when a celebrity explodes like that, but personally, I think that if he doesn’t like a certain ethnic group, why does he have to restrain his tongue? This is America, and he can say whatever he wants!

And since it is America, also Rob Schneider (whom I love as well) has the right to express his feelings about Mel, like he did in this letter. Granted, he’s probably just trying to get some publicity out of the whole situation, and the letter is pretty funny and not the airate document that some people would’ve expected, but once again, this is his opinion, and we don’t live in Cuba but in… you know where.

After the already famous incident in which Mel Gibson b*tched out a couple of police officers (including calling a female cop "sugar tits"), after being arrested for DUI last Friday, he has issued a letter of apology on Saturday. The letter reads:

"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the LA County Sheriffs. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person. I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said. Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health."

Want my sincere opinion? He doesn’t give a flying sausage about what he said to the cops. He is not sorry, and he will do whatever he can to very discreetly mess up the arresting cop’s life. Want to know how I know this? Because it is exactly what I would do if I were pissed off about being arrested and having it all over the news; and after all, pretty-eyes-Mel is human too.

Mel Gibson was arrested on Friday on suspicion of DIU in Malibu, California, while speeding on Pacific HWY at 2:36AM. Gibson was booked at 4AM at the local police station, where he remained until 9:45AM when he was released on a $5,000 bond.

The story goes that the arresting officer gave him a breathalizer that read his alcohol level at 0.12 when the California legal limit is 0.08. I don’t think that you should be arrested for such a small amount of alcohol in your blood, but I don’t make the laws, and with so many drunks behind the steering wheels of their cars killing innocent people, I understand why the limit is set so low.

Anyway, going back to Mel: while being arrested, he is reported to keep saying: "My life is f*cked", and adorning his speech with frases such as "F*cking Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." and "You mother f*cker, I’m going to f*ck you!"

But don’t take my word for it, it’s all on tape, since the entire arrest was videotaped by the camera mounted on the police vehicle. And let me tell you, if I had been that cop, I would have booked him for a lot more than just DIU, just to teach him a little lesson.

Mel Gibson is one of those guys whom everybody loves (with those blue eyes, who wouldn’t? although he needs to shave pronto, because he’s looking more and more like Sadam Hussein lately), and he has just given his fans another reason to adore him: he is donating a substantial amount of money to help poor residents of the town of Veracruz, Mexico, build new homes.

Read on for the "official" news:

VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) — Mel Gibson, about to wrap up the filming of his Mayan epic, Apocalypto, in the jungles of Mexico’s Veracruz state, is donating money to build houses for poor people in the region.

The 50-year-old director-actor will donate the money through the Rotary Club and Mexico’s family welfare agency, government officials announced Thursday.

Officials said the donation will be used to construct homes for poor residents of the port city of Veracruz and the city of San Andres Tuxtla.

Gibson began filming Apocalypto, which follows the journey of a Mayan hero on the run through the rain forests of pre-Columbian Mexico, last fall.

Like his 2004 religious blockbuster, The Passion of the Christ, which was shot in Aramaic and Latin, Apocalypto is being done in an ancient tongue, Yucatec Maya. The action adventure is set for release Dec. 8.

This is not Gibson’s first demonstration of generosity in Mexico. Last October, he met with President Vicente Fox to announce that he would donate $1 million to help Mexico recover from Hurricane Stan.

Hurricane Stan and related storms left more than 1,500 people dead or missing in Central America and Mexico.
