Mel Gibson

LOS ANGELES - Two decades after being chosen as People magazine's first sexiest man alive, Mel Gibson now tops a very different kind of list: Film Threat's annual "Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood."

The independent film Web site on Friday named Gibson No. 1 among the "least-powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in all of Tinseltown," following the anti-Semitic remarks he made during his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.

"He apologized, he got sick of apologizing, he refused to apologize anymore, he didn't want to address the issue, he spoke on nationally broadcast news shows, he spoke at synagogues, he met with Jewish Officials," Film Threat's editors wrote. "But in the end, in all his `I'm really not anti-Semitic' posturing, he never bothered to address how irresponsible he was for driving under the influence in the first place. And now he's got a new movie opening, `Apocalypto,' and the question becomes: who cares?"

Gibson, 50, the star of the "Lethal Weapon" movies and director of "The Passion of the Christ," was People's sexiest man alive on the magazine's inaugural list in 1985.

Mel Gibson is in shock after a man was found dead at one of his Los Angeles properties.


The unnamed man, who has been identified as a 48-year-old construction worker, was discovered hanging from a rafter in an extension being built at the actor's Agoura Hills property in what appears to be a suicide.

The body was found in the morning by the site foreman, who contacted Los Angeles' Lost Hills Sheriff's Department at around 8am.

Detective Eddie Brown said: "Detectives along with paramedics arrived at the scene and the gentleman was pronounced dead on arrival. Cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles Coroner's office."

According to police sources, the corpse was in "full-body rigor mortis" when it was found and the hanging could have occurred on Tuesday night.

Gibson was not at the site, where construction has been taking place for some time, when the body was discovered.

Gibson and his family are not believed to have ever lived at the property.

The house is just a mile away from Gibson's church, The Holy Family Catholic Church, where his daughter was married last year.

پروژه سینمایی مل گیبسون درباره اعدام بهائیان در ایران

زندگی مونا محمودنژاد، دختر ۱۷ ساله بهائی که در سال ۱۹۸۳ همراه با ۹ زن بهائی دیگر در شیراز به دار آویخته شد، دست*مایه فیلمی شده*است که جک لنز آن را برای مل گیبسون بازیگر، کارگردان و تهیه*کننده نامدار هالیوود کارگردانی می*کند.

این فیلم، رؤیای مونا نام دارد و پروژه*ای ۱۰ میلیون دلاری است که کمپانی آیکون پروداکشن که متعلق به مل گیبسون است آن را تهیه می*کند.

فیلمبرداری این فیلم که مقدمات تهیه آن از ماه مه شروع شده، قرار است در ماه اکتبر انجام شود و تا مارس ۲۰۰۹ تولید شود.

جک لنز موسیقی*دان و فیلمساز کانادایی است که پیش از این فیلم کوتاه ویدئویی پنج دقیقه*ای در باره مونا ساخت و در سراسر دنیا پخش کرد. او موسیقی این فیلم را نیز می*سازد. جک لنز همان آهنگسازی است که ابتدا قرار بود موسیقی فیلم مصائب مسیح را برای مل گیبسون بسازد اما بعد از پروژه کنار رفت و جان دنبی جایگزین او شد و موسیقی آن فیلم را ساخت.

جک لنز گفته*است که داستان این دختر شجاع که تا آخر مقاومت می*کند و ایمانش را از دست نمی*دهد برای او جذاب بوده و انگیزه قوی*ای برای ساختن این فیلم به او می*دهد.

بنا بر منابع بهائی اتهام مونا و زنان اعدام*شده تدریس در کلاس*های کودکان بهائی بود. از دیگر جرم*های این زنان عدم پذیرش تغییر دین بود. مونا محمودنژاد مدتی را در زندان عادل آباد شیراز گذراند و در ماه ژوئن ۱۹۸۳ در میدان چوگان شیراز به دار آویخته*شد. جزئیاتی در مورد زندگی و مرگ او در کتاب «داستان علیا» به نقل از هم*سلولیان او چاپ شده*است.

Mel Gibson's Wife Files for Divorce

Mel Gibson's wife of nearly 30 years, Robyn Moore, has filed for divorce, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The couple released the following statement Monday: "Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."

Moore, 53, citing irreconcilable differences, is seeking joint physical and legal custody over their minor child, Thomas, 9, according to court papers. She is also seeking spousal support and attorney's fees, and is asking the court to deny her husband any spousal support.

Gibson, 53, met Moore, at the time a dental nurse, in the late 1970s after the American-born actor, who moved to Australia when he was 12, had filmed his breakthrough success, Mad Max. The pair, both now 53, married on June 7, 1980, and have seven children – Hannah, 28, twins Edward and Christian, 26, William, 24, Louis, 21, Milo, 19, and Thomas.

Mel Gibson may soon be writing one of the biggest checks of his life – to his wife.

With no indication that the estranged couple – who married 28 years ago – had a prenup, Robyn Gibson, 53, is legally entitled in their divorce to half of everything the actor-director-producer earned from their marriage in 1980 to the date of their separation: A fortune estimated at close to $1 billion.

"This could easily be one of the biggest divorce settlements in Hollywood history," says Los Angeles family lawyer Lynn Soodik, who's not involved with the case. "Any attorney would advise her to take half."

A $500 million settlement would dwarf the current record holders of celebrity divorce:

Michael Jordan ponied up $168 million following his 2006 divorce with wife Juanita; Neil Diamond forked over $150 million after his 1994 split with Marcia Murphey; while Steven Spielberg shelled out $100 million following his 1989 divorce from Amy Irving.

Among Gibson's estimated assets: More than $600 million grossed by The Passion of the Christ alone, $100-plus million in real estate investments worldwide (he bought an island in Fiji for $15 million in 2004), and $75 million for film and TV projects for which Gibson executive produced.

As for film residuals, Gibson, also 53, "would be accountable to pay half for the rest of his days," Soodik says. "If he gets a residual check for Lethal Weapon or Braveheart, half of that check is hers."

But don't expect the ex-couple to enter a painful, protracted battle in the courts.

"This divorce will probably reach a settlement in a matter of months," Soodik says. "It likely won't be messy since there's enough money to go around."

Shortly after Mel Gibson's wife Robyn filed for divorce last week, details emerged about a woman the actor-filmmaker has been spending a lot of time with – even taking her on a family vacation to Costa Rica – named Oksana. She is, sources tell PEOPLE, a Russian singer signed to Mel Gibson's record label, Icon Records.

Now the identity of his mystery girlfriend may be revealed: Public records suggest Oksana Grigorieva, 39, an ex of former James Bond star Timothy Dalton, has lived in a house linked to Gibson, 53.

The home, purchased in Sherman Oaks, Calif., in December 2008, has an ownership trust administered by the CFO of Mel Gibson's production company, Icon.

While neither Grigorieva nor Gibson have commented, Grigorieva certainly resembles the leggy brunette photographed with Gibson on the Boston set of his upcoming film, Edge of Darkness, and seen frolicking in the surf with the star in Costa Rica.

A composer, Grigorieva is dedicated to her craft, her former agent Victor Kruglov tells PEOPLE. "She'll never give up with her music," says Kruglov, who has seen photographs of Mel's mystery woman and believes she and Grigorieva are one and the same. "She loves it."

Though she rarely confided in him about her love life, Kruglov says Grigorieva did once complain about trouble with a boyfriend – but stopped short of sharing specifics. "She was always very discreet about her personal business," he adds.

She has one son with the 69-year-old Dalton, Alexander, who is based in Los Angeles.


The Other Oksanas
Before Grigorieva entered the picture, no fewer than three "Oksanas" were fingered as Gibson's Russian doll, sparking an international mystery befitting 007's skills:

• Almost immediately after Gibson's divorce proceedings hit the news, media reports ID'd her as Oksana Kolesnikova, a pianist and composer who performs five days a week at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge.

There's just one problem: Kolesnikova, a blonde, has been happily married for 10 years and is four months pregnant. "I have nothing to do with [Gibson]," the singer tells PEOPLE. "The only contact I had with him was when he came in to dine at the Polo Lounge. He seemed like a gentleman."

• Days later, Russian pop star Oksana Pochepa, 24, came out of the woodwork and told British newspapers that she's the one dating Gibson – and is the woman seen in photos hugging him in Costa Rica.

"This is serious and I hope that our union will be real and strong and long-lasting,” Pochepa told the Sun tabloid of her alleged relationship with Gibson. However, Pochepa doesn't look much like the woman in the photos taken in Boston.

• Meanwhile, back in January, the Latin American Herald Tribune ran a photo of yet another Oksana – Oksana Lovoushka, a blonde artist the paper says was in Mexico with Gibson in January filming her music videos. Lovoushka, too, hasn't commented.

Six weeks after his wife Robyn filed for divorce after 28 years of marriage, Mel Gibson has some news of his own: his Russian musician girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, 39, is pregnant, the actor's rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.

"He couldn't be happier," says a Gibson friend. "He loves being a father."

Grigorieva, who is signed to Gibson's record label, Icon Records, is in her second trimester and due in the late fall.

For those eager to point to Grigorieva's pregnancy as a catalyst for Gibson's divorce, they'll be wrong, says the close source: "This has nothing to do with the divorce. Mel didn't even know Oksana was pregnant when they filed."

Gibson's wife Robyn, who cited "irreconcilable differences" in her April 13 divorce petition, has remained mum on his relationship with Grigorieva and the pregnancy rumors. According to Gibson's own divorce response, filed on the same day as Robyn's, he and his wife separated almost three years ago.

Gibson, 53, who has seven children with Robyn, including their youngest, 10-year-old son Thomas, and Oksana, who has a son, Alexander, with her former boyfriend, actor Timothy Dalton, stepped out for the first time at an industry screening for X-Men Origins: Wolverine in L.A. on April 29.

Grigorieva's son and the Gibson kids have met and vacationed together and, says a source, get along well.

To keep their divorce as private as possible, Mel Gibson and his wife have agreed to keep their financial records under seal, court documents show.

The agreement – signed off by the former couple, their lawyers and a judge – states that depositions, tax records, and accounting information will be all be kept private. Part of the reason for the sealing is because the ex-couple does not want to jeopardize their assets by revealing business affairs and to protect their 10-year-old son Thomas, reads the document filed June 5 in Los Angeles.

With Mel Gibson's estimated net worth at close to $1 billion, the divorce is expected to end with the biggest cash payout in Hollywood history. Because there's no indication the ex-couple had a prenup, Robyn, 53, is legally entitled to half of everything Mel earned during their 28 years of marriage.

Gibson, 53, recently announced his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, 39, is pregnant. The baby news isn't expected to affect legal proceedings. Experts say the Gibsons' divorce will likely end quietly in a matter of months.
