In the upcoming December 8 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Mel Gibson voices his support for America's wackiest racist, Michael Richards, explaining that "You don't need to be inebriated to be bent out of shape. But my heart went out to the guy.". If you haven't heard by now, Richards shot up an Los Angeles area synagogue, killing 19, including 7 children, before finally taking his own life. Really shocking stuff (I'm kinda surprised you didn't hear about it). Regarding his own recent run in with the law, Gibson claims:

...people in Hollywood are not refusing to work with him. "No, people aren't like that," he says. "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!'" Gibson also says he's not anti-Semitic. "I never have been and never would be." he says.

Uhh, Did Mel forget about that little incident a few months ago? You know, the one where he turned into a drunken more polarizing version of Adolf Hitler. Pretty much the only thing Mel didn't blame the Jews for that night was causing the dinosaur extinction.
