ABC cancels Mel Gibson’s holocaust movie?
July 31st, 2006 under Mel Gibson. [ Comments: none ]

MEL GIBSON’s planned mini-series about the Holocaust may be axed by American TV network ABC after his alleged drunken anti-Semitic outburst at a Los Angeles police officer. An intoxicated Gibson reportedly launched a verbal attack on sheriff’s deputy JAMES MEE after he was pulled over for drink driving on Friday (28JUL06) near his home in Malibu, California. Now his nonfiction TV movie FLORY, charting the true story of a Dutch Jew named FLORY VAN BEEK and her non-Jewish boyfriend who sheltered her from the Nazis, is in jeopardy. American rabbi ABRAHAM COOPER is urging THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST producer to drop the "inappropriate" TV programme and it is believed some Jewish film executives have pledged never to work with the actor again. An ABC spokeswoman says only, "It’s in development, but not very far in. It’s not at the point where you would make those determinations."

Since him and dad do not believe in the Holocaust this movie never should have been greenlighted to begin with. Mel Gibson is going down and I am enjoying every minute of it!

Will Disney drop Mel Gibson’s film?
July 30th, 2006 under Mel Gibson. [ Comments: none ]

Will Disney Desert Gibson for His Mistake? Mel Gibson’s horrendous mistake on Friday morning may have reverberations far worse than he could imagine. For one thing, Gibson is set to release a hugely expensive and largely questionable film with family-friendly Disney on Dec. 8. "Apocalypto," which has no stars, cost at least $50 million. It was a gamble of a vanity project to begin with, set 600 years in the past and with dialogue only from the Mayan dialect of Yucatec. "Apocalypto" was set to open next week, but Disney pushed it back after inclement weather during the Mexican shoot put the movie off schedule. The Dec. 8 date puts "Apocalypto" right in the middle of holiday releases. But now the question is how Gibson will possibly be able to do publicity for such a dicey movie without addressing his embarrassing and rather horrendous behavior Friday in Malibu. It isn’t the first time Gibson has faced controversy before releasing a film, but this is much different. When "The Passion of the Christ" was being readied, it was revealed that Gibson had built a private church for Catholics who did not agree with contemporary church doctrine. It also came out that his father was a Holocaust denier. Gibson refused to repudiate his father’s statements and many reviews of the film — including the one I wrote in this space — accused the director and actor of anti-Semitism. But "The Passion" was funded entirely by Gibson, who used the now nonexistent distribution company, Newmarket Films, to get his movie into theaters. This time, he’s convinced Disney — a major studio with a family-oriented reputation — to put up some of the money, possibly another $50 million for marketing and promotion and to distribute the film. With "The Passion," Gibson also had the built-in audience of church groups to help him. "Apocalypto" doesn’t carry that kind of constituency; its success was going to be built solely on Gibson as a visionary.But will audiences want anything to do with Gibson once the reality of what he’s done this weekend sinks in? I think not. More importantly, will the usual press-junket and media shills who regularly trade control of their interviews for access to a star simply avoid the whole arrest and rant mess so they can talk to Gibson about "Apocalypto?" Maybe it’s naïve to think so, but someone on the red carpet or on a junket will, hopefully, have the integrity to refuse such a proviso. Watch this week to see if Disney will stick with "Apocalypto" or use an "act of God" clause to get out of dealing with this situation. No one can blame them if they do. Gibson’s apology does not deny one word of the police deputy’s report. It’s one thing to have been embarrassed when arrested, and maybe even so drunk as to keep repeating, "My life is f—-ed" over and over once the realization of what’s happened dawned on him. But his anti-Semitic remarks underscore what many have suspected since the "Passion" controversy erupted.As I reported last February, Gibson invested another $5 million tax-free into his Malibu church last year. With 70 or so members, Holy Family Church is designed to follow outdated Catholic doctrine that the Jews are responsible for killing Jesus Christ.Gibson, I wrote, has never quite refuted his father’s statements. In fact, an article I cited from the Pittsburgh Tribune Review revealed that Gibson is planning to fund a church similar to Holy Family in Mt. Pleasant Township, Pa., called St. Michael the Archangel. According to the article, Gibson was persuaded by his father to become involved and may have assisted in the purchase of an existing structure for a little over $315,000.The only upside of this is that maybe Gibson will now find even less support for his planned miniseries on the Holocaust. But the very serious and major downside here is that an international superstar, whom many people admire and respect, now seems to have confirmed our greatest fears about him: that he is a bigot, full of carefully unexpressed hatred that has now spilled out of him thanks to some inopportune drinking.He may be able to rationalize this to himself, but Mel Gibson is going to have a hard time convincing Disney that it should have anything more to do with him.

I really hope so, he needs to pay for what he said and did on Friday. The truth is finally out there about him and we can not forget or forgive his actions and words.

Did Mel Gibson or his publicist write this?
July 29th, 2006 under Mel Gibson. [ Comments: none ]

"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 L.A. 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 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."

Knowing his publicist, I sincerely feel this was written by Alan Nierob and not Mel Gibson. Believe it or not some statements are not from celeberties but their publicists. Alan is one of the best publicists in this town for crisis management, so that is why I am thinking these are his words and not his clients. Please Alan you have a lot of good talent already dump this bad anti-semitic one.

Proof Mel Gibson is a Jew hater
July 28th, 2006 under Arrested, Mel Gibson. [ Comments: none ]

TMZ has learned that Mel Gibson went on a rampage when he was arrested Friday on suspicion of drunk driving, hurling religious epithets. TMZ has also learned that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department had the initial report doctored to keep the real story under wraps.

TMZ has four pages of the original report prepared by the arresting officer in the case, L.A. County Sheriff’s Deputy James Mee. According to the report, Gibson became agitated after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway and told he was to be detained for drunk driving Friday morning in Malibu. The actor began swearing uncontrollably. Gibson repeatedly said, "My life is f****d." Law enforcement sources say the deputy, worried that Gibson might become violent, told the actor that he was supposed to cuff him but would not, as long as Gibson cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the patrol car, the deputy asked Gibson to get inside. Deputy Mee then walked over to the passenger door and opened it. The report says Gibson then said, "I’m not going to get in your car," and bolted to his car. The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him inside the patrol car.

Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I’m going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he ‘owns Malibu’ and will spend all of his money to ‘get even’ with me."

The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"

The deputy became alarmed as Gibson’s tirade escalated, and called ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and then said, "What the f*** do you think you’re doing?"

A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you’re looking at, sugar tits?"

We’re told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped, and continued saying how "f****d" he was and how he was going to "f***" Deputy Mee.

Gibson was put in a cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to urinate, and after a few minutes tried manipulating his hands to unzip his pants. Sources say Deputy Mee thought Gibson was going to urinate on the floor of the booking cell and asked someone to take Gibson to the bathroom.

After leaving the bathroom, Gibson then demanded to make a phone call. He was taken to a pay phone and, when he didn’t get a dial tone, we’re told Gibson threw the receiver against the phone. Deputy Mee then warned Gibson that if he damaged the phone he could be charged with felony vandalism. We’re told Gibson was then asked, and refused, to sign the necessary paperwork and was thrown in a detox cell.

Deputy Mee then wrote an eight-page report detailing Gibson’s rampage and comments. Sources say the sergeant on duty felt it was too "inflammatory." A lieutenant and captain then got involved and calls were made to Sheriff’s headquarters. Sources say Mee was told Gibson’s comments would incite a lot of "Jewish hatred," that the situation in Israel was "way too inflammatory." It was mentioned several times that Gibson, who wrote, directed, and produced 2004’s "The Passion of the Christ," had incited "anti-Jewish sentiment" and "For a drunk driving arrest, is this really worth all that?"

We’re told Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report, leaving out the incendiary comments and conduct. Sources say bDeputy Mee was told the sanitized report would eventually end up in the media and that he could write a supplemental report that contained the redacted information — a report that would be locked in the watch commander’s safe.

Initially, a Sheriff’s official told TMZ the arrest occurred "without incident." On Friday night, Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore told TMZ: "The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department investigation into the arrest of Mr. Gibson on suspicion of driving under the influence will be complete and will contain every factual piece of evidence. Nothing will be sanitized. There was absolutely no favoritism shown to this suspect or any other. When this file is presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, it will contain everything. Nothing will be left out."

TMZ is awaiting comment from Gibson’s rep.

This so has my blood boiling. Screw him. Now the world gets to see him as the a$$hole he really he is and how he really is anti-semitic.  I say and will boycott all his movies from now on.

Thank you TMZ for posting this!
