MEL GIBSON

When you hear the word “patriot” you think of the following: Tom Brady, Mel Gibson, and US soldiers (hopefully not in that order). Include yourself in this list by suiting up in red, white and blue this weekend in order to dance in your own little space. (Your scrap-book making grandma will be proud.)

You are more than capable of cramming the two-month British "holiday" into 72 hours because you bear arms and contribute to the greater good (better known global warming and national debt.) In a time where the Motherland is the main birther of DJs, let’s take a moment to remember the American-made artists who fuel your weekends and give you something more important to spend your hard-earned paycheck on than cheeseburgers-- memories made by music.

The Mel Gibson's story has been going on for more than a year but things seem to be almost over.

Gibson was charged last year after allegedly assaulting ex girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva on Jan. 6. He would also have threatened her. He could have been sent to prison for that, but the 55-year-old actor has scored a deal with Los Angeles prosecutors to avoid jail time.

He agreed to a plea bargain on a charge of inflicting corporal injury on a spouse and will have to attend counseling and serve probation as well. His lawyer Blair Berk said that even if the actor could have won in court, risks were too high and much more harm to his family would have been done.

Costume planning time is running out with Halloween being just a week away. So keep the cash and go thrifty this season by taking our advice and going with the simple celebrity look.

Here's our list of simple star looks that anyone can pull off with little to no preparation. Only a few items are needed.

Lady Gaga- Kermit frogs, bubbles, meat. You choose.

Ke$ha- Anything glitter.

Katy Perry- Just tape candy treats to your body.

It looks like the cast and crew of The Hangover's sequel does have some common sense! Mel Gibson’s appearance in the movie has been cancelled due to his ubiquitous unpopularity. His tiny part (as a tattoo artist) was apparently too much for the movie to handle. After releasing a statement earlier this week that Gibson would appear in the sequel, the director Todd Phillips officially retracted saying that, "[Gibson] ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew."

Thank you Todd Phillips for your wise decision to take Gibson out of the movie. The Hangover did perfectly fine without him, the Hangover 2 is sure to be all right as well.

The sequel to any movie is usually not as good as its original. If Mel Gibson plays a part in The Hangover 2, they’re not even giving this movie a shot at being a hit!

Its debut is on May 26, which will give its audience exactly seven months, one week and one day to prepare for the worst.

Let's just be thankful for the hilarious foursome of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zack Galifianakis and Justin Bartha that will take us on an adventurous trip to Thailand this time around. The thought of unstable Mel Gibson without those actors in the sequel would just be a frightening thought.

In the 5th tape released, Mel Gibson shockingly claims that he is broke, (What the heck happened to the millions of dollars he made during his Hollywood career?!), and yells at Oksana Grigorieva saying, “I don’t have any f*cking money!”

“F*ckin’ user! You f*ckin’ used me! I will never forgive you!” he yells and then starts panting for several seconds.

At one point, Oksana fights back and says, “You are very mean,” and this just enrages Mel all over again and goes off saying:

“Yeah, you know what mean is now, don’t you? So don’t call me mean when I’m nice to you. Because I’d like to show you what mean really is. B*tch, c*nt, wh*re, gold digger! All true! You f*cking proved it to me! If you’re ever interested in proving otherwise, let me know. If you don’t care, I know you know what you are too. Look at yourself. And look what you’ve done. Look what you’ve f*cking done! Look at your son. He’s a f*cking mess. You f*cking excuse for a mother. You’re a f*cking bitch!”

A breathless and obviously enraged Mel Gibson allegedly threatens to burn down the house, but first demands on having sex with his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, in a fourth recording.

The then couple appear to be arguing about having sex, and Gibson, seems upset that Grigorieva fell asleep, screams, "I'll burn the god damnn house down," before demanding oral sex.

He also discloses that he's seeing a therapist, but tells his girlfriend, "You wanted the number of my therapist? Don't you ever speak to him…You've got problems more than me."

Grigorieva speaks up, responding, "You need medication."

This just seems to be getting uglier and uglier by the minute. I guess we should stay tuned for tape No.5.

Are they running out of topics on The View? It's either that or Whoopi Goldberg has some balls...when the women of the show brought up Mel Gibson and his despicable-ness, Whoopi actually defended him!

Mel was blatantly caught using the n-word on tape...so I'm pretty sure it's safe to say he's got some racism coursing through those veins of his. But Whoopi disagrees.

"I don't like what he did here. But, I know Mel and I know he's not a racist," she said.

"Well, that language certainly sounds racist to me," Joy Behar countered. Uh yeah...I agree.

"I can't sit and say that he's a racist, having spent time with him in my house with my kids," Goldberg replied. "I can't say it."

Is she new?

Ugh. I feel like we're going to be hearing about this for a long time. I never even liked Mel Gibson in the first place. And now we're hearing that their little spat got physical and that it's going to court.

Oksana Grigorieva has told investigators that Mel has abused her physically and made threats “many times.”

Apparently, she's been subjected to Mel's abuse before and after the incidents in January and February -- where she says Mel knocked out one of her teeth.

Mel is currently being investigated for spousal abuse. Of course, he's denying hitting Oksana in the face and knocking out her tooth during the January incident. Can they just lock him up already or something?

As if the first time wasn't enough, Mel Gibson has found a way to turn us off yet again. In a very interesting new audio tape, he's apparently caught calling his ex, Oksana Grigorieva, several horrible things, saying that she dressed too sexy and would get "raped by a pack of n***ers," RadarOnline.com has learned.

Nice going, Mel.

On the tape, Gibson also calls her some other nice names, including "whore" and "c**t," and threatens to burn her house down.

Yeah, your career is really going places now Mel.
