Mel Gibson was photographed in a bar in Nicoya, Costa Rica, where he owns a huge mansion, for some reason.  This picture looks remarkably similar to several pictures that showed up of Mel drunk in bars in and around Malibu just before his arrest for DUI and his anti-Semitic tirade last year.  So needless to say none of this looks good.  It's easy to imagine that at least one of the girls in this picture was released in the woods the next morning naked while Mel chased her in an old jeep wearing a tan safari outfit and a pith helmet. 

Mel Gibson reportedly had another angry outburst last night, this time on the campus of Cal State Northridge while speaking to a film class about his career.  Several members of the Mayan community came to the lecture, including a woman named Alicia Estrada.  Estrada is an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at Northridge and she challenged Gibson regarding the portrayal of Mayan culture in his movie "Apocalypto."  TMZ says:

Estrada persisted, stating that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in sacrificial ceremonies and had bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist. Estrada and others tell TMZ that Gibson exploded in anger, responding, "Lady, Fuck off."  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!"

Interestingly, Gibson's publicist is basically admitting the incident took place, saying “He needs more anger management training. It's time to be cool."

Estradas reaction to this movie is pretty similar to my reaction the last time I saw a movie I didn’t like.  Except, instead of ambushing an actor who was trying to do something nice and crying like a bitch, I used my karate to get revenge.  Then I made out with a bunch of models in my hot tub.  The hot tub in my jet.  On second thought, I guess our reactions weren’t very similar.  Hers was filled with fagocity, mine was totally boss and cool.

Mel Gibson will be served with legal papers this week demanding a DNA test to determine if he is the father of a 29-year-old Australian woman.  Carmel Sloane claims that Gibson had a one night stand in the back of a car with her mother Marilyn in 1976.  Marylyn, then 17, was hitchhiking to Sydney when a sexy stranger picked her up in his station wagon.  (editors note - Awwww!)  Marylyn says:

"I was a slim young woman in tight-fitting jeans on the side of the road when a station wagon stopped.   He told me his name was Mel.  He said he would take me all the way but first he had to go home and get some petrol money.  He made me hide under a blanket in the back of the car, saying something about his mother being in town. We stopped outside a house and he came out with a mattress and a couple of pillows and some petrol money.  He said he had brought the mattress in case we had to stop for the night. We got on really well. He was charming and funny. He told me he was going to be a famous movie star … When we stopped for the night Mel got in the back on the mattress but I stayed in the front. I said I didn't trust him but to be honest I didn't trust myself either! He was so sexy. I didn't have any contraceptives with me and I hadn't had much to do with guys.  Eventually he persuaded me to join him in the back. I told him, ‘If anything happens and I get pregnant I'll come looking for you'. He replied, ‘I am going to be famous. You will always know where to find me.'  We spent the night making love and talking. But when it got light Mel said he had to be back at work — in an orange juice factory in Adelaide.  I got out of the car and never saw him again. It broke my heart to walk away."

And her goal of catching a ride to Sydney ends in complete success!  Except she did not get a ride, did get fucked on an flimsy mattress in a station wagon - which is pretty much like laying a tortilla on a woodpile - after being forced to hide under a filthy blanket and ended up pregnant at 17 in 1976.  And it marked the first time anything ever went wrong for a sexy blond who was hitchhiking.  Most romantic story ever?  Yes my friends - most romantic story ever!

Indigenous activists in Guatemala, once home to a large part of the Mayan empire, say that Mel Gibsons new movie “Apocalypto" is racist.   Mayan leaders say scenes of scary-looking Mayans with bone piercings and scarred faces hurling spears and sacrificing humans promote stereotypes about their culture.  Spell-check magnet Ignacio Ochoa said:

"Gibson replays, in glorious big budget Technicolor, an offensive and racist notion that Maya people were brutal to one another long before the arrival of Europeans…"

And Mayan human rights activist Lucio Yaxon agrees:

"Basically the director is saying the Mayans are savages."

Wait, are Mayans even a race?  Can you be racist to someone if they're not even a race.  Well, it turns out I don't care, but look Lucio, Mayans did sacrifice people by cutting into their chest and pulling out their still-beating heart.  I’m not sure how Mel was supposed to sugar coat that.  I guess he could have added a little trail of sparkles and stars behind the path of the knife as it went towards the dudes chest and then the Mayan priest could cut into him and pull out a puppy with a little red bow, but I gotta believe that's not historically accurate.

Mel Gibson was seen drinking beer in Austin, Texas, less than two months after being treated for alcoholism, treatment that was court ordered after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated on July 28th.  That was the same night he went on his now infamous anti-Semitic tirade.  Gibson was in Austin to screen his latest film "Apocalypto" for Harry Knowles of Aint It Cool News.  (read Harry’s gushing review here.  It's pointless but it does at least confirm that Gibson was there).  MSNBC says:

“I couldn’t believe my eyes. Mel Gibson was swigging a Bud with two adoring young women hanging on his every word,”  … 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.”

Paris Hilton got punched in the face.  I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.  Who cares about Mel Gibson’s drunk ass - PARIS HILTON GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE!  If you got a close up of my heart today, all you would see is a rainbow and inside my head would just be Snoopy dancing.

UPDATE - or maybe not.  Tynan wrote in to say that he met Gibson that night and swears he was stone cold sober.  Tynan says: "After he went out that night he came to a party at my neighbor's house that I was also at. The entire time he drank only water or red bull, and briefly mentioned that he hadn't had a drink in two months.  I had a few conversations with him, and he definitely wasn't drunk and didn't smell like alcohol."
