In third place was Martin Riggs, played by Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon films; fourth was Russell Crowe's Wendell White from LA Confidential.

13 JUNE 2007.- MEL LANDED AT DAVID
Source: Día a Día
People that were yesterday morning at the airport in David (Panama) had the immense pleasure of meeting Mel Gibson.
Gibson's helicopter had to refuel at "Enrique Maleck Airport" and Mel spent fifteen minutes signing autographs to fans and onlookers and posing for photographs. He even threw kisses and chatted with some of his many admirers.
According to local press, Mel Gibson purposed to visit an island. Apparently, he intends to buy a new property there and donate Mago to his lovely fans (there has still been no official confirmation of this point, sorry). Rumour has it that Mr. Gibson could have changed Scrabble for Monopoly and this fact would be the explanation for his strange behaviour and for his interest in buildings and lands.

14 JUNE 2007.- CARTAGENA
Yesterday Mel Gibson, our untiring traveller, made a stop on his way. The town: Cartagena (Colombia) where he will spend four/five days sunbathing and tasting its delicious cuisine.
Mel, who tried to go unnoticed, his son and two friends dined at La Vitrola. Then they took a taxi to escape from press and bystanders. IMPOSSIBLE!!! Good Luck next time!

14 JUNE 2007.- AB 920

AB 920, the bill that would make checkbook journalism-the sale of information, especially celebrity news, to broadcast, print and Internet media outlets-a crime has its first major opponent, the California Newspaper Publishers association.
The measure, authored by Assemblymember Julia Brownley (D-Malibu), unanimously passed the Assembly last month and is set to go before the Senate Public Safety Committee on June 26.
The bill has the support of state and local law enforcement organizations, and with the exception of the celebrity website that disseminated the documents, there has been no criticism of the measure.
That changed last week with a letter to Brownley from the state's largest newspaper organization indicating that its directors have voted to oppose AB 920.
California Newspaper Publishers Association General Counsel Thomas Newton wrote, "CNPA opposes AB 920 because it would criminalize speech that is obviously protected by the First Amendment, and, we believe, would be struck down by the first trial court faced with a prosecution under the law." The organization requests that Assemblymember Brownley "withdraw this bill from consideration."
Newton says the bill's prohibition is so broad it would create a liability anytime anything is exchanged for information, even if that information has already been made public by the media.
Brownley countered CNPA's stance on Tuesday, stating that "the cases that CNPA cited appear to have had to do with gags on jurors that had already been excused after the conclusion of a trial, and that is a very different situation from AB 920."
She reiterated, "My bill applies only to information that is obtained during the course of a criminal investigation, and that, therefore, could seriously compromise our judicial process. Bribing public officials for such information greatly increases the chances for such corruption."
However, Brownley then added, "I share CNPA's commitment to protecting our First Amendment freedoms, and would do absolutely nothing to diminish them."

15 JUNE 2007.- CARTAGENA AND JUAN VALDES
After having visited the harbour and San Felipe (a colonial fort), Gibson and Co. ran away from Cartagena, boarded a plane and headed for…? (This mystery is dealt with in Chapter 3, COMING SOON!)
The purpose of Gibson's strange trip is still a matter for debate. Local press think that MG was "hunting" suitable locations, but we know for certain that Mel met JUAN VALDES. The two friends chatted away about the weather, about what they have been doing since they last met and about the famous coffee plantation of Sr.Valdes.

CARTAGENA, 13//14 June 2007

Mel Gibson is considering shooting a film in Cartagena. For the moment, he's too considering shooting a film in Panama, in Costa Rica and in Oaxaca.
Gibson, who chatted with press photographers for two minutes, said that he was very fond of Spanish colonial architecture.
Sr. Valdes, who lunched with Mel Gibson last Thursday, has declined to comment on Gibson's short visit. "No Comment," he said.
THE END of "Mel Gibson´s Adventure in Colombia".
