Antisemite Mel Gibson Signed On To Produce AND Direct A Story About A Jewish Hero! No Joke!!!

Oh, there are so many things to say, so little time. Alright then, the basics…

Despite his long-standing tumultuous relationship with the Jewish community, Mel Gibson has been linked to a WB project that will tell the story of Jewish hero Judah Maccabee. At this point, nothing has been inked, but it is the studios hope that Mel will agree to not only produce the movie, but also direct it.

Now, from what we understand, it has been on of Mel career aspirations to helm a film about the man and the family that to led the Jewish revolt against the Greek-Syrian armies B.C., but given the "colorful metaphors" Mel's used in the past to describe people of the Jewish faith, we're surprised the studio is going along with it.

Still, if he can prove himself to be a changed man and truly sorry for his sins of the past, perhaps this is the jumping off point for him to reignite his career. Personally, we'd rather see him in The Expendables 2.

What do U think?

Mel Gibson, Oksana Grigorieva Reach Settlement Over Child's Custody - International Business Times

Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva have reached a final custody and financial settlement in their long-running bitter legal battle, the Los Angeles County Superior Court announced on Friday.

"As the result of a multiday settlement conference, the court announces that Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva have achieved a settlement in their ongoing dispute," the court said in a statement. The terms and conditions of the settlement would be discussed at a hearing next week on Wednesday, the court said.

A spokesman for the "Braveheart" film director confirmed the parties had settled.

Gibson and Grigorieva had been in a dispute over the custody of their 1-year-old daughter, Lucia.

The controversial issue of the custody of the couple's 1-year-old daughter will be handled in a closed session, the court said.

Gibson and Grigorieva had a long-running relationship that ended his 28-year-old marriage just months before Grigorieva gave birth to their daughter.

In March, this year, the "Passion of the Christ" director admitted that Gibson punched Grigorieva during an argument in which he was concerned for the safety of Lucia. The actor pleaded no contest -- the equivalent of guilty -- and was sentenced to three years probation.

The couples have appeared multiple times in court over custody and financial issues with a judge handling their case in Los Angeles.

However, Gibson has never spoken publicly about the case.

Gibson has provided his ex-girlfriend with a four-bedroom, multimillion dollar home,  a vehicle and tens of thousands of dollars a month, Gibson's attorney Stephen Kolodny said in 2010.

Subsequently, the tapes of a furious Gibson telling Grigorieva that she "deserved" the assault surfaced on Radar Online.

The tapes posted damaged Gibson's career. His manager left, a movie's release was delayed and others refused to work with him.

Roughly one month later, Gibson said in a television interview he regarded the leak of the phone calls to the media as a "personal betrayal."
