El actor estadounidense de origen australiano Mel Gibson asistió en México a la confirmación católica de cinco personas, dos niños y tres adultos, dijo hoy un religioso amigo suyo.
"Somos buenos amigos desde hace ya tiempo", explicó a Efe el arzobispo emérito Carlos Quintero, quien ofició el ritual.
La ceremonia se realizó en la capilla de la casa del sacerdote en la localidad norteña de Hermosillo, la capital de Sonora.
Quintero dijo desconocer el parentesco exacto de los confirmados con Gibson, que tiene siete hijos con su esposa Robyn, aunque presume que eran familiares. Según el diario mexicano El Universal, los dos niños son nietos del actor.

Archbishop Emeritus Carlos Quintero Arce told reporters he performed Tuesday's ceremony for Gibson's grandchildren and for several adults in the chapel of the archbishop's residence in Hermosillo, the capital of northern Sonora state. He did not identify the adults.
But while Gibson and his wife, Robyn, have seven children, his representative, Alan Nierob, said the actor does not have any grandchildren.
Nierob did not immediately know what Gibson's relationship was to the children who were confirmed.

25 MAY 2007.- WE REACH THE END OF THE STORY
Last Tuesday, Mel Gibson "performed" one of his famous tricks to escape from the Mexican reporters that besieged Archbishop Emeritus Carlos Quintero´s residence in Hermosillo.
According to www.expreso.com, Gibson disguised himself as an old gentleman. Mel, who wore a false beard and a wig, used the front door to leave the house while the press was waiting for him at the back door.
Bystanders and fans thought that the guy looked like Mel Gibson, so they came to the conclusion that the old gentleman was Mel Gibson's elder brother.
Gibson attended a religious service in which his daughter, Hannah, his son-in-law, and Maura's grandchildren were confirmed by Carlos Quintero Arce. So we have reached the end of this story. Mel Gibson is not a GRANDPA, but her sister Maura is a GRANDMA. The proud grandma of a boy and a girl -about seven year old- who have been the subject of much controversy for a few days.

31 MAY 2007.- THE FAMOUS PHOTO
Source: Adelaide Now
IS this an anonymous face in the crowd, or is it really Australia's most successful actor-director in disguise, trying to keep a very low profile?
Hollywood star and producer Mel Gibson was visiting the Mexican state capital of Sonora for the Catholic confirmations of family members .
Mel arrived at the house of Archbishop of Hermosillo, Carlos Quintero Arce, with his sister, assistant, two priests, Hannah and Mr Wayne.
It's believed Gibson then left the house in disguise to avoid media at the entrance of the house.
Photographic agency Picture Media released several images of a man leaving the house they believed to be Gibson, disguised by make-up, white hair, beard and glasses.
Later, Gibson - who once starred in a movie called Forever Young - was seen dressed in normal attire.

31 MAY 2007.- KANYE WEST SAYS MTV MOVIE AWARDS SNUBBED MEL GIBSON´S APOCALYPTO
Kanye West claims that the best film of the year was snubbed.
"My favorite movie this year was 'Apocalypto,' and I love Mel Gibson," West said. "Sometimes I feel a little like Mel Gibson. [People say to him,] 'OK, Mel Gibson, we know [your movie is] the best, but if you shut up, maybe we can give you an award.' I think that's how people feel about me sometimes: 'OK, [your album] was the best.'
" 'Apocalypto' was the best movie," West continued. "It's probably some complete bullsh-- that got nominated over it. Around the time of the awards, if you want to ask me what's the bullsh-- that got nominated, I will tell you. It's my opinion; it doesn't mean it's good or bad. I'm a movie buff."
"300," "Borat," "Blades of Glory," "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Little Miss Sunshine" are the nominees for Best Picture at this year's Movie Awards. "Apocalypto" did not receive any nods.

31 MAY 2007.- THE FUTURE OF GIBSON´S NEW RANCH
|
|
Source: AGI
The farm is in Playa Barrigona, close to Guanacaste, in the north of the country, about 300km from the capital city, San Jose. An area which apparently far from the chaos of tourism and surrounded by forests and beaches. It's still not clear what made the actor and director decide to make the huge purchase. The ranch was previously used to host residences and other tourism buildings. However, maybe in light of the little tourism in the area, the terrain was sold. The most probable scenario is that Gibson wanted to maintain the buildings intact to use them as sets in his future films. Meanwhile everyone seems happy with the arrival of the celebrity neighbour.
