Mel Gibson selling U.S. homes. Moving back to Australia.
Please take fake American Rupert Murdoch with you.

Don't let the door hit your asses.
___________________

Mel Gibson is poised to quit the US after selling his mansion near New York.

The disgraced Lethal Weapon star, who faces allegations of violence from his Russian former girlfriend, sold the mock Tudor property, known as Old Mill Farm, for £16 million – £10 million less than the asking price.

Gibson has also put his Malibu home, Lavender Hill Farm, on the market for £10 million, according to a property newsletter.

He has told friends that he will move back to Australia - where he grew up after moving from America when he was 12 - with his ex-wife Robyn, who still supports him.

2. I've got a little list ...
... of people he can take with him, in addition to Rupert Murdoch. But is it fair to do that to Australia? Would they consider that to be a hostile act?

What a racist, misogynistic buffoon.

9. My enquirer sez the Russian ex found out Mel was messing with some porn star.
Edited on Sun Jul-18-10 11:29 AM by dkf
She gave him an ultimatum to marry her or she would bury him. And she did.

Well serves him right for cheating on Robyn. Now he realizes who really cares about him.

11. Like all abusers, he acts like a baby when called on his behavior
"I'm packing up my toys & leaving!" Okay, bye.

BTW, Mel, might want to make sure Oz doesn't have any extradition treaties with the US before pulling up stakes.

If this gets to court, expect him to turn on the water works & cry like you've never seen anyone cry before. Oh, he'll say he's sorry, but only because he got caught, not because he beat the crap out of his girlfriend.

13. All I can say is how much I hate to wtiness people self-destruct...
and Gibson could scarcely do a better job at that. And, yes, I find that to be sad.

15. i listened to him in the 90's about his family and his wife.
going back to his roots might actually be a blessing for him. i hope he, with help of someone who loves him (it sounds like) he will be able to put himself together again.

19. Mel didn't self-destruct at all
He was always that way in private. Now everyone knows he's an asshole.

This is a constructive moment, and if he thinks he can escape his rep in Australia he has another constructive moment coming.

21. I did not say he changed his pattern of behavior...
but his actions ares self destructive to the infinite degree and against any logical degree of self-preservation. It appears that at least, early on in his career, he was a better actor--both on the screen and off.

gentlemen?

This observer is devastated.

16. Mel, the geographical cure won't work
and you're going to have to deal with those snakes in your head that your Holocaust denier daddy put there. To do that, you'll have to quit the booze and you'll have a better shot at it here than there.

20. He's going to have to move to the out-outback
and live amongst the kangaroos. And talk to himself, although that's pretty much what he's doing already.

will be any more welcome there?

18. I don't know. I'd rather have him spend his money here...
I'm not a fan since Braveheart and Payback, but I have to say that in the list of people I'd like to see leave the country, he ranks pretty low.
