14 MARCH 2007.- MAX IS COMING BACK WITHOUT MEL
Director George Miller, planning a new entry in the three-film series, reckons Gibson is too old to play the post-apocalyptic hero. Miller made his name with Mad Max, in 1979, and its sequels, Mad Max 2 and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Now, fresh from winning an Oscar for his animated feature Happy Feet, Miller is planning a fourth instalment of Mad Max, with its murderous bikie gangs and bandits roaming the Australian outback. Miller believes the star of the trilogy, Mel Gibson, is now too old and focused on his own films to want to again portray the lead character of "Mad" Max Rockatansky. Instead, Miller hopes to secure a rising young star for the role. The fourth Mad Max movie was in development before Miller took on directing Happy Feet, and now he's turning back to the project. "I have a few projects in the pipeline including an animation . . . but I do want to make another Mad Max movie and get stuck back into that," the 62-year-old said in Sydney today. "It (the lead) won't be Mel. He was 21 when he made the first one, now he's a lot older and his passion is for film making and directing. "I don't think he is into acting and I don't think he would be interested in being involved at all." The Sydney-based film-maker said he had managed to "come back down to earth" following his Oscar win, thanks to constructive advice from Hollywood friends including Australians Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. "I was warned not to inhale too much because you can take it a little too seriously," he said. "We didn't expect to win, but it was a good excuse to drink, party and to act like teenagers again." Miller was a special guest at today's 2007 Aurora film maker initiative, announcing four new feature film scripts which will be workshopped and eventually adapted to the big screen. |

17 MARCH 2007.- THANKS FOR WHITE TEETH
Source: ContactMusic.com
CHRIS ROCK credits MEL GIBSON for his own famous white teeth - because his LETHAL WEAPON salary helped him pay for them. The funnyman claims he "bought" his perfect smile in 1997 for $15,000 (GBP7,700) after finding he had the cash to fix his teeth. He jokes, "I went to this guy who did WHITNEY HOUSTON's teeth before the crack. "I got a couple of cheques - Lethal Weapon; `Mel Gibson, thanks for the teeth."

19 MARCH 2007.- TRASH
The famous lovers of Trash, Bruno Mouron and Pascal Rostain attack again. From March to July, they´ll exhibit their booty
at the "Maison européenne de la photographie" in Paris. The name of the exposition is "Trash" and, of course, it´s a trash.
Pascal Rostain and Bruno Mouron have been 'going through the trash' for fifteen years.
They started their collection with Brigitte Bardot, communist politician Georges Marchais, far-right politician Le Pen, disgraced multimillionaire businessman Bernard Tapie, tennis player Yannick Noah, and actor Gérard Depardieu. Encouraged by Daniel Filipacchi they continued their antics in Los Angeles, rifling through the trash thrown out by Brando, Nicholson, Madonna, Mel Gibson, Michael Jackson and even Ronald Reagan.
In the past, the photos were exhibited at New York's four-star Le Bernadin restaurant where the artist tried to sell their chefs d´oeuvre for $6,000 each.
By the way, if you can´t visit the exhibition, don´t worry. We can assure you that, every two or three years, the photographs are published by the most sensible world famous magazines.

21 MARCH 2007.- TOO OLD FOR MURTAUGH
Source: 24 hours Vancouver
Danny Glover, who starred as creaky-limbed family man and L.A. detective Roger Murtaugh opposite Mel Gibson's madman Martin Riggs in four Lethal Weapon movies, says the franchise won't be loaded a fifth time.
"I think it's good [to retire it]," Glover says during interviews for the thriller Shooter, which was partially filmd in Vancouver and opens Friday in theatres. "It's been nine years now since we started Lethal Weapon 4. A lot has changed in nine years. I think, for me, and I'm sure for Mel, it's good to leave that behind."
As for why other aging actors can't resist returning to roles they originated when they were 20 years younger and spryer, Glover chalks it up to "vanity."

23 MARCH 2007.- INAUGURATION
The $1,000,000 that Mel Gibson donated in 2005 to help Mexico recover from Hurricane Stan has been transformed into new houses set in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Juan Sabines, governor of the state, inaugurated the buildings - assigned to needy families who were victims of the hurricane - a few days ago.

24 MARCH 2007.- APOCALYPTO, THE CONTROVERSY BURSTS
Mel Gibson exchanged angry words with a university professor who challenged the accuracy of his film "Apocalypto" at an on-campus screening.
Gibson was answering questions from the crowd at California State University, Northridge, Thursday night when Alicia Estrada, an assistant professor of Central American studies, accused the actor-director of misrepresenting the Mayan culture in the movie.
Gibson directed an expletive at the woman, who was removed from the crowd.
"In no way was my question aggressive in the way that he responded to it," Estrada said. "These are questions that my peers, my colleagues, ask me every time I make a presentation. These are questions I pose to my students in the classroom."
Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, characterized the professor as "a heckler."
"The woman ... was rude and disruptive inasmuch as the event organizers had to escort her out," Nierob said.
Lauren Robeson, editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, the Daily Sundial, said Gibson denounced Estrada as a troublemaker.
"It was a brief disruption to an otherwise interesting, stimulating event from our students' perspectives," said university spokesman John Chandler. "The students were very appreciative of Mr. Gibson being there. He spent a lot of time answering questions about moviemaking."
Before the 3½-hour program ended, Gibson "expressed regret that things had gotten out of hand," Chandler said.
Estrada is demanding an apology, "not only to me but to the Central American program at CSUN, to the university and most importantly to the Mayan people and Mayan community."
About 130 students attended the screening, part of a series sponsored by the school's Cinema and Television Arts Department. The interruption occurred about 20 minutes into Thursday's program, when two audience members refused to relinquish the microphone after asking their questions, Chandler said. They were escorted out by campus security, he said, and Gibson continued answering questions for another 40 minutes.
"Apocalypto" was released in December. The R-rated epic about the decline of Mayan civilization shows Mayan rulers slitting throats and beheading and ripping the beating hearts from the chests of their enemies.
Human sacrifice among the Mayans has been well-documented in recent years and is accepted as fact by most anthropologists, knocking down a previous theory that the culture did not take part in such bloody rituals.
However, there are some scholars and Indian activists who still believe the human sacrifice accounts are false or overblown, and an attempt by racist scientists to paint the culture as violent.
"This isn't the Mayan culture," Juan Tiney, leader of the National Indian and Farmer Committee, Guatemala's biggest Mayan organization, told the AP. "Although it might be part of it, there was also culture, economics, astronomical wealth and language. ... It discredits a people to present them in this manner."
Gibson "did his homework and consulted with world authorities on this matter," Nierob said.
"Apocalypto" has grossed more than $100 million worldwide, and it earned three Academy Award nominations.

26 MARCH 2007.- LET IT BE
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be….
The Beatles (Lennon/McCartney)
