Are Mel Gibson and Michael Richards Friends ?

I can’t make this stuff up people: Michael Richards has an a new buddy: Mel Gibson. “I felt like sending Michael Richards a note,” Gibson says in an interview in Entertainment Weekly’s Dec. 8 issue. Mel also said, “I feel really badly for the guy. He was obviously in a state of stress. You don’t need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. But my heart went out to the guy.” The 50-year-old actor-director then added: “They’ll probably torture him for a while and then let him go. I like him.” Mr. Gibson obviously thinks his incident is long over and no one remembers. Someone should fill Braveheart in that Michael Richards is also Jewish. After his Nov. 17 tirade became known, Richards apologized on David Letterman’s “Late Show” on CBS, saying his remarks were sparked by anger at being heckled, not bigotry. He also apologized to the Rev. Al Sharpton and on the Rev.Jesse Jackson’s syndicated radio program. Are people refusing to work with him?”No, people aren’t like that,” Gibson tells the magazine. “Those are just the headlines: Mel ostracized by Hollywood! Hollywood is what you make it. There is no great pooh-bah up there saying, `Go! You are condemned!’” Hey Mel, you have hundreds of millions of dollars, doors WILL open a little easier for you, if not you can buy the building. Gibson says he’s not anti-Semitic. (Liberace used to say he was straight too.)”I never have been and never would be,” he says. “But (the incident) hit this fear thing in me. My god, I made people afraid. … And it was a horrible feeling. That’s when I said, `My god, I don’t want to be that monster.’” (His inner voice is LOL) His new movie, “Apocalypto,” from The Walt Disney Co.’s Touchstone Pictures, opens Dec. 8. It is a Mayan-language epic filmed in Mexico chronicling the decline of the native civilization. He’s confident his past remarks will not hurt the movie at the box office. Seinfield DVD sales are suprisingly higher now too. All this crap going on to divert us from the horrors going on in Iraq….great job idiots!
