Mel Gibson Loses Half $850M Fortune in Divorce Settlement
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Legal Issues,
Mel Gibson's ex-wife has been awarded half his $850 million fortune in their divorce settlement.
The actor is now officially a single man after his almost 30-year marriage to Robyn Moore - mother of seven of his children - was officially ended at a Los Angeles court yesterday. The huge payout is thought to be one of the biggest divorce settlements in Hollywood history. Because the couple didn't have a prenuptial agreement, Robyn, 55, was legally entitled to half of everything he earned during their marriage and she is also entitled to 50 per cent of Mel's future film earnings. Robyn - who has two Malibu homes worth an estimated $22.5 million - filed for a legal separation in April 2009 citing "irreconcilable differences" as a reason for ending their marriage.
Earlier this month, Mel won praise from Judge Stephanie Sautner, who is overseeing his battery case against former girlfriend Oksana Grigoreiva after he completed double the amount of anger management and domestic violence counselling he was required to undertake. The 55-year-old star has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery against his ex-girlfriend - who he has two-year-old daughter Lucia with - and is currently on informal probation. In March, Mel was sentenced to a year-long domestic violence counseling program over the incident, which occurred in January 2010, and he was also served with a protective order not to "threaten or harass anyone involved in the case."

UPDATE: The actor’s rep now confirms the pregnancy.
Could this be why Mel Gibson‘s wife finally gave him the boot?
Although they had been separated for approximately three years, Robyn Moore, Gibson’s wife of 28 years, finally decided to file for divorce over a month ago. Now it looks as if Mel, already a father of seven, will become a dad once again.
According to reports, the 53-year-old’s new girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, is pregnant with the actor’s eighth child. The singer, who shares a 12-year-old son with former beau Timothy Dalton, is rumored to be in her second trimester right now.

Mel is currently scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show this Monday, May 25th. Let’s see if he acknowledges the news then.

Mel Gibson Steps Out with New Girlfriend
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce,
After 28 years with the same woman, Mel Gibson apparently decided there was no time to waste.
Last night, the 53-year-old actor brought the new lady in his life to the LA premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The red carpet introduction occurred just over two weeks after his wife officially filed for divorce.
Gibson reportedly became close with Oksana Grigorieva during the production of Edge of Darkness last summer. (The 39-year-old singer, who is signed to Gibson’s Icon Records label, had been asked to write a song for the film.) According to Mel, he and his wife, Robyn Moore , had been separated for nearly two years by this point.
Although Oksana is relatively unknown in the tabloid world, Gibson isn’t the first actor she’s ever dated. The composer has a 12-year-old son with former 007 Timothy Dalton.

Mel Gibson’s Wife Files for Divorce
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce,
Maybe Mel Gibson and Britney Spears will have now have something new to bond over.
After 28 years of marriage, the Mad Max star’s wife, Robyn Moore, has filed for divorce. The papers were signed on April 9, just before the Easter weekend. According to People sources, Mel was overheard yesterday announcing the news to several parishioners of the church he had built.
Although Robyn had been seen with Gibson recently (she reportedly joined him for Palm Sunday services last weekend), friends say the two have actually been separated for three years. The 53-year-old’s infamous DUI arrest also happened three years ago on July 28.
TMZ claims the two were married without a prenuptial agreement. If that is the case, Robyn, 53, could receive 1/2 of their community property under California state law. As of 2006, her husband was reportedly worth $900 million.
Moore - whose attorney, Laura Wasser, assisted Britney Spears with her divorce - is currently seeking joint physical and legal custody of their 9-year-old son, Thomas. (They also have six other children who are no longer minors.) She is also requesting spousal support and legal fees.
