Celebrity gossip buttressed by unattributed quotes! Good thing this isn’t a journalism blog…
Why do all the troll come out during the super bowl?
I would do the same thing. Ask Mel Gibson for advice and do the opposite of what he says.
I thought Heath Ledger was heterosexual????? What business does Mel Gibson have “advising” a supposedly heterosexual actor to not accept a role about a gay cowboy, simply because his “morality” is against it? Besides, why would anybody be prepared to accept advice from the likes of Mel Gibson? Isn’t he the guy that got drunk and shouted antisemitic garbage at the police officer who tried to arrest him, a year or so back?Anne G
So you don’t even care whether the story is true or not? Does the truth only matter when the target is “us” and not “them”?
Mel…someone oughta bend him over, and….for that matter, you too Doolittle….
