Oksana Pochepa Reveals Herself as Mel Gibson's Lover

Forget the controversy stirred up by Passion of the Christ.

Sounds like Mel Gibson has to worry about the passion of Oksana Pochepa!

In an interview with Great Britain's The Sun, the 24-year old Russian pop singer says she's been enjoying a relationship with the actor for months. And it sounds like more than just a fling.

"This is serious and I hope that our union will be real and strong and long-lasting," Pochepa told the newspaper yesterday.

The singer met Gibson in August 2008 when she was hired to compose a song for his upcoming movie, Edge of Darkness.

A source on the Massachusetts set told Us Weekly that the pair would often hang out together in Gibson's trailer... if you know what we mean! (Editor's note: that's actually all we mean by that statement. But it's not hard to imagine what they were doing in there.)

In Gibson's defense, insiders have said he and wife Robyn - who filed for divorce this week - have been separated for three years. But that makes this story far less juicy.
