At what age will Mel Gibson not be at clubs and getting into fights?  Whatever age that is, he clearly isn’t there yet.

Last night Mel was at a club with his pregnant girlfriend Oksana Gregorieva and a pap tried getting a picture of them.  He was stopped by security, but another photog friend stepped in to try and get the shot.  That’s when — what else? — Mel went batshit and ripped the dude’s shirt open.  No word on if he called the pap “sugar tits”.  Sigh.

You know, this “bad boy” personna — the trashed hotel rooms, the bar room brawls — is a rite of passage for many young thesps.  The problem is that Johnny Depp and Sean Penn did this crap in their twenties.  Mel Gibson is 53.

Expect that some sort of criminal case, not to mention the lawsuit for emotional distress, will be filed.  I wonder if Mel will ever make the connection between his alcohol consumption and the chaotic events of his life.

I had a feeling there was more to this story  than we were originally hearing.  Last night I told you about the replacement of Rachelle Lefevre, the actress who plays Victoria in the Twilight movies.  And, you know, she released a statement making it seem like she was pretty much blindsided by Summit Entertainment’s decision to go with a different actress — Bryce Dallas Howard — due to a minor “scheduling conflict”.  According to Summit’s rebuttal, Lefevre may be playing dumb:

We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre’s recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the Studio.  

Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the Studio to set the record straight and correct the facts.

It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to Barney’s Version, a commitment we have since been advised she accepted in early June.  Summit had acted in good faith that she would be available to fulfill her obligations both in terms of rehearsals and shooting availability for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production.

Ms. Lefevre took a role in the other film that places her in Europe during the required rehearsal time, and at least ten days of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse‘s principal photography. This period is essential for both rehearsal time with the cast, and for filming at key locations that are only available during the initial part of production.

The fact remains that Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to the other project—which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment—makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in [Eclipse].

I think Rachelle needs to shut her mouth and chalk this up to one very expensive life lesson.  Well, if she ever hopes to work in Hollywood again, that is.

This is why we must all eschew any and all photo sessions that occur in the great outdoors.  Bridget Marquardt, Hef’s ex-girl next door, was a guest at last night’s Give and Get Fete, an event that supports Dress for Success.  The sun was cruel … as cruel as the hairstylist that keeps her looking like Washed Up Barbie.

Denise Richards appeared too, and I don’t know how I’ve never noticed this before, but she has a touch of the crazy eyes.  Tatyana Ali, best known for being on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air showed up as did a very skinny Guiliana Rancic.

Finally, Chelsea Handler learned a valuable lesson:  Skinny jeans are a privilege and not one that she’s earned.

Madonna’s greatest hits album is set to drop on September 29th.  Madge’s “Celebration” will have two new songs, one of which is aptly titled “Celebration”.  Take a listen and let me know what you think.

Oh, and I can’t wait for the video.  Lourdes is debuting in it!

Ahhh, my little Demi-goddess Lovato released another hit album, with Here We Go Again selling 108K copies and topping the Billboard charts. (Michael Jackson’s Number Ones sold more copies, but it’s ineligible for the charts because it’s an older album.)

Meanwhile, Jordin Sparks’ Battlefield sold a dismal 48,000 copies. Has anyone heard the single off that album? It’s terrible. If that’s what they released as the first single, I can’t even imagine the crap that’s on the rest of that album. No sweat off my back. I’m still angry with her for implying that pre-marital sex is slutty at the VMAs last year. You know what, Jordin? Having a flop of a sophomore album is slutty, too.

Here’s what it all comes down to: American Idol is brilliant at creating a big star of the moment, but when it comes to developing, nurturing and promoting talent in the long run, nobody can compete with Disney.

Scale of 1-10, guys, with 1 being your local Mormon missionary and 10 being your really really high local Mormon missionary.

This isn’t weed high, either. Stoned Kristen is much more bored-looking and far less reactive. This is something more … interesting than that. So let’s make that the second part of this game. First: How high is Kristen Stewart? And second: What’s she on? (Combo guesses are allowed.)
