Gibson inspired Williams to seek treatment

Mel Gibson’s DUI arrest was a “big wake-up call” for Robin Williams, the funnyman tells “Access Hollywood” in an interview scheduled to air Monday.
“If you’re violating your standards faster than you can lower them, time to go away,” he said.
Williams, 55, announced that he was seeking treatment for alcoholism less than two weeks after Gibson’s high-profile arrest in late July.
“Well, if [rehab] was good enough for him, I’ll go,” Williams said. “I just think it was kind of like, well, he’s in, let’s go now.”
Williams said he had been sober for 20 years when he started drinking again.
His latest film, “Man of the Year,” hits theaters Oct. 13.

First Britney now Mel

Chevy Chase has been hired by Law & Order to portray a “celebrity who is pulled over for drunk driving while wearing blood-soaked clothes, and whose religious prejudice comes out after his arrest.” Blood-soaked clothes? Apparently the writers at Law & Order confused Mel with OJ.
Law & Order use to be a really great show, now they are turning in to a tabloid hour long drama. Maybe they forgot where to look for story ideas, which is odd considering that most of their stories use to come from important headlines, not the mistakes of celebrities.

He's Right U Know

"What's human sacrifice," he asked, "if not sending guys off to Iraq for no reason?"

In describing its portrait of a civilization in decline, Gibson said, "The precursors to a civilization that's going under are the same, time and time again," drawing parallels between the Mayan civilization on the brink of collapse and America's present situation.

Just so you know: Mel received a standing ovation at a preview for his new movie 'Apocalypto', while in Austin.

Mel's getting busy!

Mel was on hand to answer questions in Austin on Saturday, when attendees of a festival of science fiction, horror and fantasy films were treated to a surprise showing of Apocalypto. At the showing in front of 200 audience members at Fantastic Fest, Gibson said he found parallels between the fall of the Mayan empire and current events.
He insisted that the movie needs a "few more trims" before release. He also said that the film still needed polishes in the areas of sound, visual FX, color correction, and scoring. But the general reaction afterwards was pretty darn enthusiastic. Some of the comments overheard were "pretty damn awesome" and "a whole lot better than I expected," Everyone was in agreement that the Act III super-chase was a whole lot of gritty and exciting fun.

So close, yet so far away!

One of the best kept secrets ever in Lawton. Mega Hollywood actor and director Mel Gibson paid a visit to the city on Thursday to show off his new movie and honor its lead actor, a member of the Comanche Nation. Before the private screening of the film Thursday afternoon at Cameron University, Gibson paid a visit to the Comanche Tribal Complex where he and Youngblood were honored with a special ceremony.
Lawton City Councilman Jeff Patton presented the actor with a proclamation declaring September 21, 2006 as Rudy Youngblood day in Lawton.
It was also Youngblood's birthday.

Robert Downey Jr a true friend

ROBERT DOWNEY JR feels an incredible sense of loyalty to his AIR AMERICA co-star MEL GIBSON after the star helped him win his own battle with substance abuse. Gibson caused outrage when he was arrested for drunk driving in July (06) in Malibu, California and subsequently made racial statements to his arresting officers. He has been condemned by a number of celebrities, but Downey Jr says, "He's an artist and he's imperfect like the rest of us. I don't know if I could ever be there for him as much as he has for me."I've talked to him and seen him. He's doing great, he's a good dude and he's taking care of himself."

Schaumburg Library Keeps Mel

The Schaumburg Township District Library Board has decided not to remove a poster of Mel Gibson. The board's vote Tuesday was unanimous, said Michael Madden, library director. "The board felt that it would create a complicated situation about how you judge a person," Madden said. "If you begin with Mel Gibson, perhaps then you go to the picture of Jane Fonda."

Changes

New website for Apocalypto.
YEAH!!!!
http://apocalypto.movies.go.com/

OKLAHOMA CITY

Mel will preview his new movie, Apocalypto in front of a group of American Indians at Cameron University and Riverwind casino. Last minute problems caused him to cancel three screenings this week. No date was given for the new screenings which are by invitation only. My great grandmother was Cherokee, think I could get an invite?

It's True!

Mel's daughter Hannah was married on Saturday at the Holy Family Church in Agoura Hills, Calif., where Mel has built a traditional Catholic church. The ceremony was reportedly performed entirely in Latin.

Max Rockatansky

It felt like a Mad Max day!
I'm okay, really :-)

Wedding Bells!

I wasn't sure if I should post this story or not. I try and stay away from stories about Mel's children, because they're not in the spot light. So here's my compromise, no posting of a picture of Hannah Gibson, just informing the reader that it is rumored that she will marry Kenny Wayne Shepard today. If it's true, CONGRATULATIONS!

Change of View

I've notice that the comments posted on celebrity websites have taken a positive turn toward Mel no matter how much some of the sites try and slam him. (TMZ)
I no longer feel that I am alone fighting against the masses with my secret power of fast blogging.

**Gotta love those eyes and that smile**

No Photograph of Mel

Mel Gibson was removed from a celebrity exhibition at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Co-founder Don Green told Canada's The Globe and Mail newspaper: "He doesn't represent the goodness of Hollywood."
**the goodness of Hollywood**
Isn't that an Oxymoron? Wonder why Mr. Green didn't remove the photograph of Jude Law? Guess cheating on your wife with the nanny while the kids are in the house is a good representation of the goodness of Hollywood.

Don't Believe the Hype!

I should of known better than to believe anything that the media reports on celebrities especially Mel Gibson. Below I posted a picture of Mel that was taken by the paparazzi on Thursday September 8 2006. In the related article it said that he was angry with them. When http://extratv.warnerbros.com/ showed the footage on Thursday Mel appeared no different than any of us leaving work. He walked to the car with his assistant and that's all. No yelling, no mumbling, no nothing. Just a guy carring work to his car. (Sorry Mel! I know that the media will put a spin on a story to make it one sided.) I tried to embed the video but no success. If I can get it to work, believe me I will post it.

Mel Looks Good!
