Russian Pop Star Claims to be Mel Gibson’s Other Woman

And you thought divorces only affected the warring parties and their children… In an example of just how far-reaching Mel Gibson’s split has become, consider the impact it has had on a woman named Oksana Kolesnikova. The married Russian classical pianist was mistakenly cited by numerous publications as the woman responsible for causing the demise of Mel Gibson’s 28-year-old marriage to his wife Robyn. Only Kolesnikova has never met the movie star. Apparently, several media sources who printed Kolesnikova’s name only got half their facts right. The alleged “mystery woman” photographed canoodling with Gibson on a beach near his Costa … Continue reading →

Mel Gibson’s Wife Files for Divorce

Mel Gibson is on the road to being a swinging single again. Finally, his martial status will match his behavior. According to reports, Gibson’s wife, Robyn filed for divorce last Thursday. Interestingly, though, court documents show that the couple has been separated for three years, with Robyn moving out of the family home less than a month after Mel’s infamous DUI arrest/anti-Semitic rant incident. The actor’s issues with alcohol date back to 1984, when he was arrested for drunk driving in Toronto. Shortly after that public misstep Mel admitted that he had battled alcohol problems throughout his adult life, but … Continue reading →

Chris Brown Tries to Salvage Career

In an effort to salvage what’s left of his career, image, and reputation, R&B singer Chris Brown has hired the same high-profile publicist, who helped Mel Gibson run damage control.

Reports say the female singing … Continue reading →

Magnum Ready to Rumba and Mel Ready to Rumble

Mystery solved. If you watch ABC during primetime you might have seen the commercials for the upcoming season of “Dancing with the Stars.” The new cast will not be revealed until August 25th, but the ads promise that the new celebrity hoofers will include a detective, a model, and a super star chef. The model could be any pretty face (who will likely be cut by week three) and some publications have already named Rachael Ray as the “super star chef” (though, I’d rather see Food Network’s Bobby Flay out there). As for the detective—-well, you didn’t need to pull … Continue reading →

NBA’s Tim Hardaway – Some People Just Never Learn

Well, it had happened again. NBA player Tim Hardaway went on the radio to say that he “hated gay people.” Apparently, Tim hasn’t been keeping up with the whole “Grey’s Anatomy”/gay scandal. Hump, he should read our blogs! Anyhow, last Tuesday, Tim went to a Miami radio station for an interview. Show host Dan Le Batard asked Hardaway how he felt about former NBA player John Amaechi announcing his homosexuality. Amaechi made the announcement right before the release of his new autobiography, Man in the Middle. He is the first NBA player to publicly admit to being homosexual. After Le … Continue reading →
