The $42 Million Question. What would Mel Gibson's church do with that much in tax-free assets? The guesses are on this morning after the actor-director's Agoura Hills redoubt at the Church of the Holy Family recently revealed another $10 million tossed into its coffers, with few expenses beyond building add-ons and $69,000 in legal services. Gibson is reportedly the only contributor to the church, which has about 70 members and has performed no charitable giving of note. The Vatican doesn't recognize the man or the institution (and he doesn't recognize it), so how is an Oscar-winning anti-Semite to spend all that cash? God knows he's not putting much into his father's Web site, unless you count the $20 in sound effects thrown over that forboding picture of Jesus. [Fox News] -

Mel Gibson, Richard Donner Pool Resources to Euthanize 'Lethal Weapon'
In these rapey-sequel times, it takes a real man to stand up against the bloated revivals of franchise whose glories are long past. And while we'll assume that there is more to the implosion of Lethal Weapon 5 than just one jilted director's story, we'll take Richard Donner's perspective for now as some of the most reassuring news we've heard since doctors disclosed that Indiana Jones would recover from his violent auteurist tag-teaming last week. Saving it from Joel Silver's own heat-seeker makes it all the better. More » -

Robert De Niro's Golf Game a Prime Suspect in Recent Job Loss
Robert De Niro has been picking up work where he can — a speaking engagement here, a morning-show gig there — so we were more than little surprised last week when we heard he'd backed out of the thriller Edge of Darkness, currently shooting in Boston. That's not the De Niro who jumped to ostensibly greener pastures at Endeavor a while back, and it's definitely not the consummate professional whom producers brought aboard to make alpha-male magic with Mel Gibson and director Martin Campbell. But a report today out of Massachusetts offers no fewer than four scenarios making the rounds — chief among them being a sort of fantastically Kubrickesque golf-course torture: More » -

Mel Owes: Screenwriter Benedict Fitzgerald's misadventures in faith-based filmmaking continued Tuesday, when his second attempt to sue Mel Gibson for a cut of Passion of the Christ's $612 million global gross hit LA Superior Court. His first effort was rebuffed by a judge who said his complaint "lacked specificity and seemed to take a 'chain letter' approach" — although as we reported in February, the plaintiff's charge that Gibson and Co. "cobbled gobbles of money" from his undercompensated wares struck us as more sing-songy than anything else. Nevertheless, Fitzgerald's specificity literally doubled since then, with the jilted writer now seeking $10 million dollars in damages. We have yet to review the complaint itself, however, which we anticipate should reach us soon after the 10 people who received it yesterday attach postage and pass it along to their own selected 10. If this one bears any resemblance at all to the last one, we think we're in that group. [AP] -

Tom Cruise's Comeback Film: A Village People Biopic, Starring Tom Cruise In Every Role
As Tom Cruise loves to remind us on his website, he's been prancing around Hollywood for 25 years, playing all kinds of roles we vaguely remember. But who knew all that hard work had been mere preparation for his landmark role in a one-man Village People biopic? In an apparent nod to American history, the patriotic Cruise temporarily abandoned hope for a truce between his army of Xenuphobes and Germany, choosing to split the difference and celebrate this wonderful country L. Ron Hubbard called home. In between the COS founder’s time traveling vacations to ancient Rome and DeLorean rides to the future, that is. And now that Cruise has donned a cowboy hat, tight jeans, and a fitted tee, he’s officially paid homage to each bandmate from that gayer-than-gay feel-good group of song-and-dance men who would surely welcome Cruise into a singalong of “It’s Raining Men.” So among Tom’s many characterizations of the Navy Boy, Earnest Construction Worker, Bad Boy Officer and, of course, Leatherman, which Village Person’sheelsshoes does Tom fill out best?

Done with Music and Motherhood, Britney Spears Tries Her Hand at Film Festival Crashing
Bringing to mind that little-known time when a snoring Anna Nicole Smith was briskly escorted from the Cannes premiere of Wong Kar-wai's 2046, chatter coming out of the desert has folks wondering what Britney Spears might be up to at the ongoing CineVegas Film Festival. This isn't quite like Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan hitting Park City to ostensibly promote their own films, after all; with four years remaining before Crossroads: The 10th Anniversary Cut makes the A-list fest rounds, Britney's attendance may have been purely incidental to the cinephile bedlam around it. Nevertheless, at least one observer (a fest juror, no less!) wasn't letting the celebritunity pass her by: More » -

Britney Spears Goes On Date With New Father Figure, Lindsay Lohan Goes On Bad-Girls-Only Threesome
Two former members of the infamous Bimbo Summit were not late for very important dates this week. But one alum probably should’ve been. Worker bee Britney Spears was spotted having a one-on-one dinner last night at Havana Room, while pansexual couple of the moment Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson pretended to eat dinner with an unexpected new BFF at Il Sole on Monday. And while Britney’s knight in Hebrew-hating armor has proven himself to be quite the positive influence of late, we’re not so confident that Sam and Lindsay’s third wheel will strengthen Lohan’s so-far-successful ascent towards paycheck-earning, substance-free livelihood. The angel on Britney’s shoulder and devil on Lindsay’s revealed after the jump. More » -

Britney Spears Does The Unthinkable: Looks Gorgeous, Laughs, And Dates A Normal Human Being
There’s nothing better than returning from a long weekend to discover not one but two incredibly positive stories about Britney Spears. Not only has the singer finally managed to make a public appearance looking downright hot, but she’s also begun dating a very eligible, scandal-free bachelor — William Morris agent Jason Trawick. As you may recall, Trawick was the mystery man splashing around Mel Gibson’s Costa Rica retreat with Britney last week, and reportedly has been looking after Britney ever since the beginning of her American Tragedy downfall. As a source tells OK!, “Britney totally trusts him and she has very deep feelings for him. It’s now got to the point where Britney wants to be with him full time.” And after seeing these pictures of the pair, who went public at an Ed Hardy party over the weekend, we can’t help but notice a very sober-looking Britney appearing genuinely happy for the first time in...ever: More » -

Britney Spears Lets Her Weave Down On Mel Gibson-Funded Vacation, But Who's The Mystery Man?
Jennifer Aniston did it first, quickly followed by Blake Lively. Now Britney Spears has pulled out this spring’s most reliable accessory to nab a boy toy: the bikini. While sobering up at Casa Gibson down in Costa Rica, Spears spent the weekend looking happier than she has in months in two very itty bitty string bikinis adorned with tattoo parlor jargon. And in between bouts of boogie-boarding, golf cart-riding and rounds of Hide-and-Seek played amidst driftwood, Spears appeared to have successfully lined up a male suitor of her own. Who the mystery man might be, and a closer look at Spears' ongoing tendency to block her possibly-knocked up belly from sight, after the jump. More » -

Britney and Mel's Excellent Costa Rican Adventure
Back in March, we heard Malibu’s own Ken and Barbie, Mel Gibson and Britney Spears, were aligning their forces of stupidity for the greater good. But it was tough to figure out whether or not they were on a date or set to co-produce a new film starring each and every one of their split personalities. But thanks to recent reports, it sounds as though the partnership was neither love- or business-bound. They’re just two confused drunks trying to stay clean together! Master of sobriety Mel recently flew both Britney and her owner, father Jamie Spears, down for a vacation at his Costa Rican clam shack for some R&R. But why now? And more importantly, why does Britney keep hiding her newly rotund tummy from the paparazzi? More » -

Does Landing The Cover Of People's 'Most Beautiful' Issue Come With A Curse?
Today, People has revealed that Kate Hudson will appear as the cover girl for their 2008 Most Beautiful People issue, and we'd certainly like to send out a hearty congrats to the recently divorced single mom who's currently nursing Owen Wilson back to health. But after taking a look back at the list of stars who've previously nabbed the annual issue's cover spot, we fear there may be a curse accompanying the glossy honor. Sure, Leonardo DiCaprio (1998) and Julia Roberts (2000, 2005) haven't slipped up since having their smiley visage top the list, but a sizeable chunk of the winning alumni eerily saw their public and private lives undergo a downward spiral following their appearance on the issue's cover.

Sadly, our cinematic dreams of Britney Spears and Mel Gibson making movie magic together will remain dreams for now. The odd couple's meeting in LA over the weekend was neither a business meeting nor a date, according to a People source: "There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It's simply an act of human kindness - one neighbor reaching out to the other." Maybe it's just us, but we're not exactly sure Britney needs a life counselor who's an alleged neo-Nazi, let alone one who's fond of calling lady cops Sugar Tits. Then again, he does have two years of sobriety under his belt. That and he's surely got it a bit more together than Michael Lohan. We guess you gotta take what you can get in these trouble-laden times. [People] -

Britney Spears And Mel Gibson Team Up To Produce Great Art (Either That Or Babies)
When it comes to summoning two powerful talents together into a pitch room with the hopes of making celluloid magic, one would have to be on some seriously strong behind-the-counter cold medicine (you know, the kind they make you sign for) to even dream of putting Britney Spears and Mel Gibson together in lights. However, cameras caught the two seemingly non-connected stars having a business meeting together in Malibu over the weekend. Spears, who's recently updated her weave to a state of barely secure chocolate pieces, arrived "conservatively" dressed in a tight green turtleneck and tighter jeans and was refreshingly mellow for the cameras; no trace of an English accent or improvised joke (even after ducking into the wrong restaurant). But Mel, ever the charmer, hustled through the backdoor. More » -

What Women Want
Like so many other celebrities, alcoholic anti-Semite Mel Gibson apparently thinks he can help Britney Spears. Mel had dinner with Britney at a Russian restaurant in L.A., and now TMZ is reporting that Gibson and his family have "very privately befriended Britney Spears." The Gibsons reportedly "reached out to Britney during her darkest days" and have been in touch with her ever since "to give her support." I'm sure Mel has lots of great advice and wisdom to offer Britney. It must be comforting and helpful for her to know that the Zionists are responsible for all of her career issues.

'Passion' Screenwriter Sues Mel Gibson For His Fair Share Of The Jesus-Flailing Backend
Benedict Fitzgerald was the screenwriter selected by Mel Gibson in the spring of 2001 to write The Passion of the Christ. By all accounts, the process was a bloodletting, each subsequent rewrite returned awash in red-ink suggestions of, "Way more flesh rending here," "Watch out for those tricky Aramaic verb tenses!" and, "Maybe add, 'Don't blame us. This is all the Jews' fault!'...Or is that too on the nose?" Eventually, a draft was delivered that would become the blueprint for one of the most successful independent films of all time: a $30 million-budgeted production that returned $612 million in worldwide box office receipts. Yesterday, Fitzgerald filed suit against Gibson, accusing Gibson of fraud and breach of contract, and demanding no less than $5 million in damages from the Malibu land czar: More » -
heath ledger
This morning in official denials of inaccurate reports emerging in the wake of Heath Ledger's untimely death: "Absolutely at no time are we going to be interviewing her. We never had any plans to interview her. At this point we are just waiting for the Medical Examiner's report," says the NYPD in response to a story that they intended to lock Mary-Kate Olsen in an interrogation room lit only by a single, flickering lightbulb until she revealed all the secrets of her phone calls with the 911-bypassing masseuse who discovered the actor's body. "[A] complete crock of s[hit]," hisses the oft-embattled publicist for Mel Gibson, annoyed about an item spuriously claiming that Gibson is anti-gay-cowboy, and "turned cold" towards Ledger for ignoring his allegedly terrible career advice about turning down Brokeback Mountain.
