Mel Gibson’s girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, is pregnant with his child.
Sources say Gibson has already told his estranged wife, Robyn, and their children about the news. We’re told Oksana is in her second trimester.
Robyn filed for divorce on April 13.
By the way, Oksana is living in a house Mel got for her. And guess what else? Until recently, Oksana was living in a house purchased by songwriter/producer David Foster, with whom she also had a relationship.
A second Russian beauty with the name Oksana is being linked to Mel Gibson, but unlike the previous woman, Oksana Pochepa actually claims to be in love with the actor.
The pop singer-model says she’s the woman seen cavorting with the ‘Braveheart’ star on a beach earlier this year, The Sun reports.
“This is serious and I hope that our union will be real and strong and long-lasting.”
We are different people, but Mel is a grown man and knows precisely what he wants and me too — I know what I want.”
Gibson’s impending divorce from Robyn Moore, his wife of 28 years, has spurred much speculation that a “Russian musician called Oksana” was the other woman in the actor-director’s life. Earlier, there were reports pointing to Russian classical pianist Oksana Kolesnikova, but she has denied all allegations.
“The only explanation is that the names Oksana have been confused. It is a very popular name in Russia.”
The Gibsons have cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split.
In a statement released by the couple, they say the following: “Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so.”
There have been reports that the two have actually been separated for three years, having gone their separate ways following Gibson’s 2006 DUI arrest. The infamous bust was accompanied by an anti-Semitic rant by Gibson.

Sources claim there is no prenuptial agreement — they were married in 1980, before Mel Gibson amassed a fortune estimated at $900 million back in 2006. Under the laws of California, community property — which includes earnings — is divided 50/50.
The Gibsons have 7 children, but only one — Tom, who turns 10 tomorrow — is a minor. In Robyn’s legal papers, filed this morning in L.A. County Superior Court, she seeks joint physical and legal custody of Tom.
Robyn is also asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.
Robyn lists the date of separation as “to be determined.” This is important, because earnings generally cease to be community property when the couple separates. There could be a skirmish over this. We’re told the couple grew increasingly apart over the last few years, especially since Mel’s drunk driving arrest in 2006.
There have been reports that Mel has been involved with another woman, which the actor denies, but we’re told the reasons for the divorce go beyond any third party. I’m putting my money on the two bimbos pictures with Mel above.

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson have packed their bags for a vacation together in Costa Rica. With all the pregnancy rumors swirling around Britney, I can’t help but wonder.
Britney arrived on time, about 5 minutes after Mel, and the plane departed at 9:05 a.m.
We spotted them leaving on a private plane to the Central American state early this morning. Sources tell us that Mel is taking Britney and her father JAMIE for a mini-vacation. We’ve learned they will be guests at Mel’s home in Costa Rica.
According to the terms of her custody Britney’s children cannot leave the country without special approval. There is no confirmation as to whether she sought approval and we’re told they are not joining her on the trip.
While the pop star and the actor may appear to be an unlikely duo, they used to live in the same Malibu community and were spotted having dinner together at Studio City’s Romanov restaurant in March.

Halle Berry was apologizing last night after she’d made an apparent anti-Semitic joke while taping “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” Friday afternoon. [see video below]
The Oscar-winning star, on the show to promote her movie “Things We Lost in the Fire,” was showing Leno and his audience images of herself on her computer using the Mac program Photo Booth, which distorts images like a carnival fun-house mirror.
According to one audience member, “She introduced the first photo by saying, ‘Here’s where I look like my Jewish cousin!’ - it was a picture of her with a huge, distorted nose. No one laughed, and Jay nervously said, ‘I’m glad you said that and not me.’ When the show aired, they cut out her ‘Jewish’ comment and added a laugh track to the bit.”
Another guest in the audience told us, “If you watch the clip, you can see Halle saying the word ‘Jewish,’ though obviously there is no audio. NBC covered her a - -. Ms. Berry should know how unbelievably inappropriate her comment was . . . She should be ashamed of herself.”
I’m sure she didn’t mean to offend anyone, she seems like such a nice gal… but you never know when you might offend someone by your comments. If you ‘think’ it might offend someone, just don’t say it.
What other’s said:
The Superficial says, “So Halle Berry makes an anti-Semitic joke and who does she blame? The Jews. I believe it’s time to hire a new publicist. You know, one that isn’t Hitler. In the meantime, somewhere, somehow, Mel Gibson has a giant boner.”
The Evil Beet says, “Anyway, I think she’s genuinely sorry, and, you know what, Jewish noses are funny sometimes. If Jerry Seinfeld had made that call, you would have laughed.”
Mel Gibson was spotted getting snookered in Bali last week. Oh Mel… you damn lush! The picture alone, makes this story funny… but there’s more.
“He was in Bali and he was not drinking alcohol. He was drinking those non-alcoholic virgin cocktails that are made in those island resorts. People should not be so quick to assume things. Unless he is there drinking water, coffee, tea or soft drinks, they’re hawking misleading photos.”
I think they’d be better off saying something like, “I don’t comment on Mr. Gibson’s personal life, thank you..” It leaves them speechless, knowing that any other question is just a waste of time, but noooooo!
What other’s said:
Celebslam says, “I bet you fifty bucks Gibson’s rep knew he was going to Bali so she recorded that message on her answering machine a few days before he left just to cover her ass. ‘Hi, you’ve reached Lisa, you know what to do after the beep . . . If you’re calling about Mel Gibson, he was in Bali and he was not drinking alcohol. He was drinking those non-alcoholic virgin cocktails that are made in those island resorts. People should not be so quick to assume things. Unless he is there drinking water, coffee, tea or soft drinks, they’re hawking misleading photos.’”
It was Labor Day weekend, and we know what that means … another Jerry Lewis Telethon! And this year, Jerry Lewis decided to make it extra special and, after 18 hours of fundraising, called someone an “illiterate faggot”.
The telethon raised a record $63 million for muscular dystrophy despite the slur.
Best Week Ever says, “That didn’t stop the telethon from raising a record $63 million after enormous last-minute contributions from Isaiah Washington, Ozzie Guillen, and Mel Gibson.”
dlisted says, “Put this old, grouchy bitch in a home already! First, Jerry Lewis said that Merv Griffin “deserved” to die and now this?!”
