PR Guy Takes Fall in Latest Mel Gibson Outburst
Mel Gibson is kind of a d!ck. You never know who he's going to offend next, which poses problems for his publicist, who's gotta be working OT these days.
The actor's longtime rep, Alan Nierob, came up with an explanation only slightly more believable than this weatherman's for Mel's recent interview gaffe.
At the end of a TV interview yesterday, Mel became annoyed over a Chicago reporter's questions and, as he signed off, blatantly called him an a$$hole.
Or so we think, says his rep. Nierob claims he was "pulling faces" during the interview and Gibson called him the asshole, not that bastard TV reporter.
Never mind that Mel was still looking at the camera and the interview ended just seconds earlier. Just your standard off-screen client-publicist banter!
Good job, publicist! Way to cover for me, a$$hole!
Not a bad job by Nierob. If only we all had a PR "cleaner" to come up with bogus explanations and fire them off to media outlets every time we screwed up.
Sometimes they even try to claim paternity of your illegitimate children while you're running for President of the United States, too. Right, Andrew Young?

Please excuse me: I should never ever get a name wrong. I should have said Melanie Gibbon.

The reporter was just doing his job -- and Mel was ill prepared for what was certain to be a question. Face it, Mel's a has-been, and even worse, octomom's sister's chump to boot.

I agree with Mel, 100%,,who on this Earth hasn't made a mistake sometime or other,, and it was a long time ago,,, I was shocked when it happened, as Mel was much admired both by his comtemporaries, and by the Public,,, but I got over it,,, I have made lots of mistakes, who hasn't? the Reporter was simply trying to get ratings, and attention,, and he succeeded, the mike, I believe, was left on on purpose,,( I used to be in broadcasting, I know their tricks) The reporter was way out of line,, and anything he does from now on should be suspect,, even his news stories should be checked for their veracity.

But the reporter is an a$$hole. Mel Gibson stayed away from the movies for a couple of years and now got back in the limelight with "Edge of Darkness". Why bring up the alcoholism and anti-Semetic ranting. Let the man's movie play and go and interview people on the street, and ask them if they will see the movie, or ask them after the movie is shown. Stop bringing up the man's past mistakes, for God's sake. He's lucky Mel didn't punch him in the noggin. I would have.
