Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Mel Gibson probably shouldn’t expect a Hanukkah card this year from red carpet diva Joan Rivers. “He is an anti-Semitic son of a bitch,” she tells Celebrity Week. “He should f–king die.” Rivers, 73, was promoting her upcoming Bravo comedy special Joan Rivers: Before Melissa Pulls The Plug (premieres October 24), when the conversation turned to the disgraced actor’s recent arrest. “I think he’s in vino veritas,” the comic said. “I think everyone should not watch (the interview with Diane Sawyer). The hypocrisy is what I hate. You know it’s all about ratings and Diane Sawyer has them all when she’s married to a Jewish guy Mike Nichols. It’s ridiculous because she’ll get great ratings and (Gibson) will be back in business.” Not surprisingly, Rivers revealed that Gibson has now earned a place in her stand up act: “His bumper sticker is ‘My other car is a gas chamber.’ The other is ‘I heart Hitler,’” she joked before again turning serious. “I believed it when he said six and a half million Jews spent World War two in Boca and didn’t die. He is what he is. How refreshing that we all now know.”

For the first time in a really long time, I actually laughed at something she said.

SO guess who snagged the very first exclusive with booze-loving, Jew- nonloving Mel Gibson? Everyone wanted it. Television reporters from as far away as downtown Kazakhstan vied for it. Diane Sawyer, who lets no grass and no interview grow under her feet, nailed it. You absolutely must admire that lady. The interview was done earlier this week in Los Angeles, which is why she’s been "on assignment" and away from her New York seat on "GMA" this week. Should pull a nifty rating, and it will air in two parts next week, Thursday and Friday.

GMA also had the first interview with him after he made his homphobic comments almost 15 years ago. I hope Diane Sawyer asks him some tough questions, but I am sure she will be kissing his a$$ and will go there, but not go there. I think the only show that could really take him on is The View!

UPDATE: The interview is not about Mel Gibson’s antics, but his movie

"Diane has had the Mel Gibson interview locked up for months… before the drunk driving episode. The interview is actually pegged to Mel’s new movie, Apocalypto," an ABCer says…

I hope she has the balls to still focus on that night.

Has Mel Gibson fallen off the wagon? The star — who publicly sought help for his alcoholism less than two months ago — was spotted drinking beer in Austin, Texas, according to the upcoming issue of the National Enquirer. “I couldn’t believe my eyes. Mel Gibson was swigging a Bud with two adoring young women hanging on his every word,” the tab quotes a musician named Steven Smith as saying. Smith claims that the alleged incident occurred at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q on Sept. 22 at around 1:15 a.m. According to Smith, about 75 people were at the bar, but Gibson and his group were in an area that was “cordoned off so no one could bother him.” Another unnamed source backs up the claim, telling the Enquirer “He definitely was drinking Budweiser. I saw him.” Gibson was arrested on a drunk-driving charge on July 28 and erupted in an anti-Semitic tirade. On Aug. 17, he pleaded no contest; he was sentenced to three years probation and went into an out-patient treatment for his alcoholism. Gibson was in Austin for the screening of his new movie, “Apocalypto,” but his rep insists that he drank no alcohol during the trip. “The story’s not true,” spokesman Alan Neirob told The Scoop. “He wasn’t drinking anything alcoholic.

Considering the source they could be wrong, but considering Alan Neirob was most likely in LA at the time he could be wrong too? Things that make you go hmmm. 

With his trademark manic humor, Robin Williams spoke out Friday for the first time about his stint in rehab for treatment of alcoholism. "I went to rehab the same day that Mel Gibson was arrested on (Pacific) Coast Highway," Williams said in an interview to promote his new movie, "Man of the Year," out Oct. 13. "I think it allowed me a certain anonymity." Williams added: "God does have a sense of humor that he was stopped by the only Jewish highway patrolman." As for rumors he was in the same rehab program as Gibson, Williams said at the Beverly Hills press junket, "No, we never met, and we were supposedly keeping correspondence. But I have Jewish agents so I haven’t gotten any messages." Williams then riffed on what it would have sounded like if he had been called by Gibson the night of Gibson’s arrest. Using an Australian accent, Williams, said, "Hi, Robin, I’m on the Coast Highway come pick me up. Don’t worry!" A rep for Williams, 55, confirmed in August that the he was entering rehab after he "found himself drinking again and… decided to take proactive measures to deal with this for his own well-being and the well-being of his family."

People

Oy, that was funny! Leave it to Robin Williams to have some of the best one liners about Mel Gibson! 

Actor and director Mel Gibson visited two Oklahoma towns this week to attend screenings of his new movie, "Apocalypto." Gibson did not make a public appearance during screenings held at the Riverwind Casino in Goldsby and Cameron University in Lawton. At the entrance of the casino — where the film was shown Friday to a mostly American Indian audience — reporters were kept behind partitions. He arrived at Cameron on Thursday morning wearing a mask and wig so he wouldn’t be noticed, university spokeswoman Amber McNeil said. Jhane Myers, an Oklahoma City-based publicist who escorted Gibson, issued a statement saying Gibson was "deeply touched by the warm reception he has received while in Oklahoma." Myers had said earlier in the week that Gibson had canceled the screenings planned for Oklahoma. Gibson co-wrote and directed "Apocalypto," which is billed as an action-adventure film set in the last days of the Mayan civilization in Mexico. It will be released Dec. 8.

You know the movie is bad when it test screening at a Casino in buttfreak Oklahoma and at University no one ever heard of in a city no one ever heard of. In fact it is so bad that Mel Gibson felt the need to hide his identity from everyone there. (OT that kind of reminds me of his Simpson’s episode he was on.)
