Mel Gibson on Britney (Not Literally)

Filed under: Britney Spears > Mel Gibson

Speaking Live with Jimmy Kimmel on Sunday, Mel Gibson said that he called Britney during her crazy times (ah, those were the days) to offer support.

Gibson said, "She's a nice kid, ya know. She was just going through a rough patch. You see kids that you know in the industry… I just felt like this poor kid she's lining up to be stoned. I just thought, 'I wonder if anyone is reaching out to her,' so I just called her and she's doing great now."

Great, the crazy leading the crazy.

Mel took no credit for her recovery, congratulating BritBrit's father for a job well done.

He also added that he regrets failing to call the late Heath Ledger when he felt the actor was in trouble, saying, "I shoulda called him years before. I didn't really know the ins and outs of what was up with him, but I don't believe it was just an accident. Maybe I coulda called him… When you see sort of an impending tragedy or something that might go wrong, it just felt like I should do something about it."

Maybe Mel should give Wino a pep talk too!

      we already knew that he was talking to Britney and he should not worry about anyone else-one person can not save the world.

      How do all the celebs get eachother's numbers, is there a secret celebrity phonebook or something? Gotta get my hands on that one if so…



    18. 18

      Re: LG puts the BASS in her walk! – Ah ha! You do have a point! But, all in all, it always warms my heart when someone reaches out to do an unselfish good deed.
      XOXO

      As if Heath would have taken any advice from Mel. What a horse's ass. To think Mel was so "Godlike" that he could sort out Heath's problems in one phonecall. Jeeze, Mel — if you were such a great guy, I think you might have spent more than just a moment thinking about it and actually been a friend, not a phonecall.



    21. 21

      wyva sef vret



    22. 22

      o i can just imagine the phone call

      "hi heath, i'd love to help
      but first
      youre not really a queer are you?

      or a jew?"
      what a total jerk

      Everyone has to stop being so mean to eachother. He is trying to help other people, I dont understand why ur criticizing him for it. Its sad. I know he might have acted foolish a couple of years back, but he was drunk (and maybe even more than that). How many people havent said something stupid when they werent sober? Lets give him a break, and if he thinks a call might help someone, so be it.



    25. 25

      LAME. Leave the poor guy alone, Jesus.. people get drunk and say stupid things, and for you to call him a crazy because he's done something that most people in that town have done is preposterous.



    26. 26

      Sweet! Love the generosity of others unselfishness, yay 4 u Mel



    27. 27

      He will always be Hot Mad Max to me. Guess what?! I love what he has to say! He gives Dr Phil a run for the money!
      Dr Phil is out. Dr Mel is in!



    28. 28

      I guess he'll be a saint by the time he's 60



    29. 29

      We need to give him a break. Hollywood is hell for addicts, and he has cleaned up very nicely. All Madonna did with Brit is try to brainwash her with her kabbalah crap. At least Mel is extending a real caring hand.



    30. 30

      WTF does HE know????? How dare he say or have an opinion about Heath!!

      Mel Gibson and I are DONE professionally.

      What don't you $#@*&%^$ understand MEL??!!



    31. 31

      As he says "the poor kid was being stoned" - You were the one stoning her Perez, I don't know how you've got the gall.



    32. 32

      Yeah Amy..right.. she is Jewish and wasn't his tirade about Jews and is his father not a Holocaust denier.? Some help. he would be.!! NOT



    33. 33

      Amy Winehouse is a Jew, so I don't think he'll be lending a hand there…
