Britney Spears arriving at her lawyer’s office in L.A. (7/2)

We now have our answer as to why Mel Gibson was so eager to help Britney Spears get her life back in order: he was just trying to get his son laid. From the National Enquirer:

Mel thought his son — who has turned his life around since he was admitted to the Cri-Help rehab facility in Hollywood last year — could help the troubled Toxic singer do the same.

A source tells the publication, “Mel felt Ed would be a great influence on Brit, and if the relationship turned into romance, all the better.”

Mel then arranged a meeting between the pair at Britney’s Hollywood Hills home last March, says the source.

“He sincerely believed that his son could help Britney stay on the straight and narrow and that they might hit it off as a couple as well,” the source adds.

But Spears refused to see Ed, and hid from him and Mel as soon as they arrived at her house.

The source continues, “She hid from them for most of the night. Mel and his son spent most of their evening talking to her bodyguards!” (Source)

Ouch. It doesn’t exactly take charm and good looks nowadays to seduce Britney Spears. Tough break for Mel’s son. He must have been out of peanut butter. Mel told him to bring peanut butter!

Rare candid from Mel’s sober days

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson took a little trip this morning to Costa Rica. Together. Britney Spears and Mel Gibson. On vacation together. Entertainment Tonight says:

ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT can confirm that Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are currently en route to Costa Rica on vacation together. Their plane departed at 9:05 AM this morning.

ET spotted them leaving on a private plane to the Central American state early this morning. Sources tell ET that Mel is taking Britney and her father Jamie for a mini vacation at his home is Costa Rica.

According to the terms of her custody Britney’s children cannot leave the country without special approval, so they are not joining her on the trip.

While the pop star and the actor may appear to be an unlikely duo, they used to live in the same Malibu community and were spotted having dinner together at Studio City’s Romanov restaurant in March.

There’s no way this bitch is coming back. Once she sees those taco carts on every corner, she’ll wonder why the hell she wasted the past 10 years of her life in Beverly Hills. I’ll miss her.

Mel Gibson was spotted getting absolutely hammered in Bali last week. I know what you’re thinking: “Wow, that picture of Gibson above has to be the funniest part of this story!” You’d be wrong my friend. Check out what his spokesman said:

“He was in Bali and he was not drinking alcohol. He was drinking those non-alcoholic virgin cocktails that are made in those island resorts. People should not be so quick to assume things. Unless he is there drinking water, coffee, tea or soft drinks, they’re hawking misleading photos.” (Source)

That’s a pre-recorded message, right? Yeah, it has to be. I bet you fifty bucks Gibson’s rep knew he was going to Bali so she recorded that message on her answering machine a few days before he left just to cover her ass. “Hi, you’ve reached Lisa, you know what to do after the beep . . . If you’re calling about Mel Gibson, he was in Bali and he was not drinking alcohol. He was drinking those non-alcoholic virgin cocktails that are made in those island resorts. People should not be so quick to assume things. Unless he is there drinking water, coffee, tea or soft drinks, they’re hawking misleading photos.”

NOTE: What’s up with Mel and foreign bars?

Ignoring warnings from the United States government, Mel Gibson is moving his family to an isolated part of Costa Rica. IMDB says:

The Mad Max actor, 51, plans to move his wife Robyn and seven children 3,000 miles away from their home in California to a $26 million ranch in a rural area that is known as “bandit territory”. Ignoring official US government warnings, Gibson has put two properties in California and Connecticut on the market to finance his move to the densely wooded estate in the Guanacaste province on Costa Rica’s northern Pacific coast. A State Department briefing warns that all American visitors there are “potential targets for criminals and kidnappers” and should never travel alone. It adds, “Local law enforcement agencies have limited capabilities and do not operate according to US standards.” (Source)

What’s not mentioned in the article is exactly why Gibson is moving his family thousands of miles away. The lack of roads maybe? No roads equals no DUIs. It’s simple logic folks. There’s a reason why Costa Rica probably has more alcoholics per square mile than any other country in the world. I think I heard that somewhere one time.

Looks like Mel Gibson is having a lot of fun in Costa Rica this week. The actor met with the president of the Central American nation, Oscar Arias, on Monday to discuss ways he could help the country’s native Indians. Arias said:

“[Mel] wants to help the indigenous population here and wants to know how to channel the funds.” (Source)

Looks like Mel’s off to a great start. Wait, “indigenous” means “bartender” right?

In an insult to hard working individuals everywhere, Mel Gibson says his children don’t want to become actors because, after watching Mel work for years they think it’s “too hard.” Mel also admits that–if given the chance to start over–he’d choose another profession. He told The Australian in a recent interview:

“[My children] don’t like the public aspect of it. They had to contend with that as children and they didn’t appreciate it. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t choose it either. I’d be a doctor or chef.” (Source)

Right Mel, a doctor or a chef. We all believe that. Maybe a doctor if you could have a specialty of Jew hating. Or a chef if your signature dish was the denial of the Holocaust. I know that doesn’t make much sense but neither does math. I hate you math!

Mel Gibson thinks his arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic tirade earlier this year was “a gift” because it made him reevaluate his life and “focus on a couple of things.” Like, perhaps, not hating Jews? According to Mel:

“It’s working out real positive, and hopefully in other lives that I’ll touch.” The “Mad Max” star also blames the media for hyping the negative. “Unfortunately I think it’s become more of a trend,” he said. “After all, it sells more newspapers to actually focus on and identify someone and sometimes it gets out of hand. I think the balance is way off, but that’s the way it is and you can’t change that. … Everybody goofs, everybody screws up and I tell ya, if you ask everybody in the world to raise their hand if they never said something vicious, something that they regretted or something stupid, there wouldn’t be many people that wouldn’t be able to raise their hands.”

Yeah Mel, everyone goofs up sometimes. “Oopsy, I got drunk and accidentally cussed out Jews again - My bad!” I seem to do that a lot. I think it’s the whole seven days of gift giving that really sets me off. What’s that? It’s eight days?!? Now that’s just plain cocky. Isn’t controlling the Trilateral Commission enough for you guys?

Students at New York University’s film center got an early preview of Mel Gibson’s newest film, “Apocalypto.” While the reviews were somewhat mixed, everyone agreed that the film was way too gory. “There are gruesome, lingering shots of people having their faces torn off, their hearts ripped out, and worse,” noted one reviewer who loved the film but was turned off by the violence:

“Mel Gibson may be an anti-Semitic, alcoholic, gore-obsessed maniac, [but] he is obviously an extremely talented director and I highly recommend his ‘Apocalypto’.”

That may be the single greatest line in movie review history. You could use that for any movie to make it seem interesting: “Ron Howard may be an anti-Semitic, alcoholic, gore-obsessed maniac, [but] he is obviously an extremely talented director and I highly recommend his ‘Free Willy 9: Escape from Lake Michigan’.”

You’re telling me you wouldn’t see that? Of course you would. Now make yourself useful and fetch me my slippers.

In the upcoming December 8 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Mel Gibson voices his support for America’s wackiest racist, Michael Richards, explaining that “You don’t need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. But my heart went out to the guy.”. If you haven’t heard by now, Richards shot up an Los Angeles area synagogue, killing 19, including 7 children, before finally taking his own life. Really shocking stuff (I’m kinda surprised you didn’t hear about it). Regarding his own recent run in with the law, Gibson claims:

…people in Hollywood are not refusing to work with him. “No, people aren’t like that,” he says. “Those are just the headlines: ‘Mel ostracized by Hollywood! Hollywood is what you make it.’ There is no great pooh-bah up there saying, ‘Go! You are condemned!’” Gibson also says he’s not anti-Semitic. “I never have been and never would be.” he says.

Uhh, Did Mel forget about that little incident a few months ago? You know, the one where he turned into a drunken more polarizing version of Adolf Hitler. Pretty much the only thing Mel didn’t blame the Jews for that night was causing the dinosaur extinction.

Here’s some pictures of Mel Gibson coming out of an AA meeting in Los Angeles with some sort of ghostly spirit behind him. I miss the old Mel–you know who I’m talking about–the Mel that could shotgun a beer and would NEVER wear socks with sandals. To be fair, at least he didn’t wear a fanny pack.
