Mel Gibson Officially Unglued, Possibly Ruined in Epic New Hate Tape

If Mel Gibson’s first audiotaped rant to emerge from the bowels of tabloid-breakup hell was not toxic enough for you, have a listen to the eight-minute dance remix that debuted today. Ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva surreptitiously recorded the actor-producer-director in a meltdown to end all meltdowns — which honestly, for much of the tape, sounds like just what you’d expect from a guy who acknowledges having “left my wife because we have no spiritual common ground” , and then shacked up with the kind of person who would leak a tape of him going nuts after things went poorly between them . Anyone would be pissed! And then comes the final minute, and this kind of changes everything.

Pauly Shore: ‘Maybe I Could Become the West Coast’s Woody Allen’

Like Pink’s Hot Dogs, Pauly Shore is a Los Angeles institution that can attract long lines ( Encino Man , Son in Law and Jury Duty ), has been accused of questionable taste ( Bio-Dome , Junket Whore ) and never claims to be good for your health. Two decades after he debuted on MTV as a spacey VJ, the actor and comedian — whose legendary family founded and continues to run the Comedy Store — is reinventing himself with Adopted , a mockumentary about adopting an African child, while also working on a new MTV project and a film about a “slut vigilante.” Last week, while waiting for a call from Quentin Tarantino, Shore phoned Movieline to discuss his latest film, his Bill Murray strategy and the Weez’s newfound maturity.

How Chad Ochocinco’s Reality TV Career Jumped the Shark within the First Minute of Ultimate Catch

No, Ultimate Catch is not the new, post-stroke title of Deadliest Catch — it’s football star Chad Ochocinco’s VH1 reality series where he combs a casting pool of hundreds to find a wife/fiancee/girlfriend/any old person. If anyone’s right for a televised dating spree, it’s Ochocinco, who comes with ready-made catchphrases like “Child, please” and a rambunctiousness that defined his recent stint on Dancing with the Stars , but it took all of 60 seconds for the #85 Bengal to squander his telegenic goods on this abysmal new series.

Roman Polanski Free After Swiss Reject Extradition

Roman Polanski is a free man today after the Swiss Justice Ministry officially rejected an extradition request from the United States. The decision ends a nine-and-a-half-month saga which saw Polanski nabbed at an airport, sequestered in jail, moved out to house arrest and finally released when, according to the Swiss, prosecutors failed to provide confidential testimony about the director’s original trial and sentencing. Which of course raises many questions, including the eminently obvious: Why the hell did we even bother?

Jon Hamm’s Glorious Emmy Moment Tarnished By Gassy Pooch

Consider this a late entry to Louis’ “I was totally sleeping when Emmy nominations were announced !” round-up. Jon Hamm also claimed to be snoozing when he got his third nomination for Best Actor in a Drama — but, ever the pro, he added an extra kicker. Seems his dog, Cora, was in bed with him as well and was so overcome with excitement that she “farted in [his] face.” So, next time you think of Don Draper, all slick and smooth with his mid-century modern cool, just imagine him with a faceful of kibble farts. See how cool Don Draper is then. [ TV Guide ]
