Mel Gibson surely wasn't hoping to find himself in a courtroom again so soon, but that didn't stop him from reporting for jury duty yesterday. And take a wild guess who was there to greet him....

Famous males: put a sock on it! Man, it’s like paternity season in here. Mel Gibson joins Justin Bieber as the latest celebrity to get slapped with a case of the surprise babies, as reality star Laura Bellizzi, 35, who dated Mad Mel over the summer, is now reportedly telling friends that she’s pregnant with the spawn of Gibson.

The couple head back to court, while Robert Downey Jr. comes to his Gibson’s defence.

Everything seemed to be hunky-dory between Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva, but their settlement has hit a snag.

TMZ is reporting that their settlement agreement — in which Oksana would walk away with $750,000, the house she currently resides in, and shared custody of daughter Lucia — was scheduled to be heard in family court tomorrow, but has now been postponed.

Sources told TMZ that Gibson’s lawyers asked for more time because the wording of their deal needed to be hashed out. Oksana, on the other hand, fought the request because she wants it over with. But to no avail. The judge gave Mel and Oksana an extension to sort it all out, and will meet back in court on Nov. 1 to finalize things.

Things may not have been looking so good for Mel but he at least has one guy in his corner — Robert Downey Jr.

The actor reveals what he really thinks of his ex’s singing ability.

Did any of you ever see Oksana Grigorieva’s music video from back when she and Mel Gibson were still on good terms with his Jacuzzi? Basically, Mel plunked down a bunch of his own cash on the project, and staked part of his reputation (back when he still had one) by directing what are essentially four minutes of Oksana trying to look sexy while some people tango in the background and her piano catches fire. You know, from the heat of it all. Yeah, it’s as terrible as it sounds. It’s pretty much what would happen if Rebecca Black were a 35-year-old Russian woman.

Back then, Mel gushed about Oksana's talent, serving as executive producer on her album and co-writing one of the songs. But now Mel is singing a very different tune about his baby mama’s music, and it’s not exactly complimentary.

Mel and his ex-girlfriend finally come to an agreement.

Could this actually be the last time we see the names Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva together in the same post? Probably not, but now that the former couple have agreed on a settlement, hopefully we’re one step closer to nipping this saga in the bud.

It’s been a long, bitter battle between Mel and Oksana, but according to People, the two have reached a financial and custody settlement — and Oksana got a lot less than originally thought.

Now the actor’s ex is demanding extra cash for the “trauma” her son experienced the night Mel allegedly beat her.

As no fan of Mel Gibson, it’s very difficult for me to feel any sort of concessionary sympathy for him. Great actor and director, crap human being. It started with the drunken, bigoted rants. Then he went and trashed his 30-year marriage to the mother of his seven children in order to shack up with duck-lipped Ukrainian fame/money/social climber, Oksana Grigorieva, who has dollar signs in the middle of her irises where pupils should be. Since then, he’s seen his life tumble down the crapper faster than a Tara Reid engagement-to-marriage trajectory. But he truly has no one to blame but himself.

Without rehashing all the gory details, which you can read here, there and everywhere, Mel and Oksana have been engaged in one of the dirtiest custody fights in recent memory over their baby daughter, Lucia. It’s what happens when two awful human beings with stratospheric egos fight over something they both want.

Although news of their battle has quieted in recent months, TMZ reports the former couple is still at it. Oksana and Mel have been meeting – separately, of course – with a family judge in order to hash out the terms of their agreement, which as you may well imagine, is mostly financial in content. You’re shocked, I know. Well, pick your jaw up from the keyboard, because there’s more. Way more.

Unlike the rest of his life, Mel Gibson quietly settles his divorce.

It’s been over two years since Mel Gibson’s ex-wife, Robyn, found out about her husband’s affair with Oksana Grigorieva. Robyn didn’t hear the news directly from her husband, she wasn’t confronted by Oksana, and friends or family members didn’t see Mel carrying on and run and tell her. Nope, instead, Robyn learned about her husband’s philandering from a tabloid. Damn.

The Beaver director continues to profess A LOT of love for Mad Mel while explaining very little.

Jodie Foster sure has the courage of her convictions. That, or she really, really wants you to reconsider Mel Gibson — especially in her new movie, The Beaver. Because even by Hollywood’s hyper standards, Jodie is laying the “Mel is wonderful” hosannas on bible-thick. Still.

The Beaver director stumps for Mad Mel at last night's movie premiere

Jodie Foster continues to reassert herself in headlines for reasons even more awkward than putting Mel Gibson in a movie about a depressed guy who talks to a beaver puppet: she’s defending Gibson offscreen. Again. Effusively.
