Looks like it's not just getting shelved!

According to sources, Summit Entertainment is FINALLY prepping the release and distribution of Mel Gibson's latest film, the Jodie Foster-directed The Beaver, and it could be upon us as early as Spring 2011!

The movie, which focuses on a man who talks to a beaver hand puppet, was originally set to debut during the Oscar run this year, was delayed until after the Awards ceremony once the entire Oksana debacle blew up.

Hmm…

It will be VERY inneresting to see how this does.

What do U think?? Do U still want to see this movie??

There's been all types of drama surrounding Mel Gibson being fired from The Hangover 2, and it seems to be overwhelmingly anti-Gibson.

For the first time, we've got somebody besides Jodie Foster who is willing to defend Mel Gibson…or at least sort of defend him!

Here's what Mike Tyson had to say about Mel:

"I'm not going to ever in my life point my finger at anyone. I don't live in a glass house. None of us do. I work with anybody, as long as they're respectful. We all have that guy — a Mel Gibson — in us. We just don't want people to be exposed to it. Maybe he needs to go get help. We all need help, and need someone to talk to. I'm not against him, but I'm not for him."

We're not sure if we're entirely on board, but admittedly you make a couple of surprisingly valid comments, Mike.

What do U think of Tyson's comments? Do you have a "Mel Gibson" in you?

The D.A. threw out the case, so they are taking things to civil court.

Jodie Foster is being accused of attacking a young teenager at a mall last May when he tried to take a picture of her. Though she has denied the allegations, the boy's family is convinced otherwise and is now suing the actress in civil court. The boy's father explained to sources:

"We have retained an attorney to proceed with a civil suit against Jodie Foster for her assault since justice was not served by the DA's office. We will proceed in civil court… our attorney is proceeding."

He should proceed with caution. We're sure Jodie has a much better legal team than you and going head to head with them might not be in your best interest.

Still, if it is justice you seek, here's hoping you find it! (Our money is on Jodie being found innocent and the whole thing just becoming a huge waste of everyone's time.)

We suppose you just can never know the direction that someone's life will take!

Jodie Foster starred with a young Kristen Stewart in the film Panic Room, and now, looking back on the time she spent with the her, she's surprised that the Twilight actress continues to work in the industry today!

Foster explains:

"She's a great person, and I'm not surprised she's gone on to to do great things. But I am surprised she is an actress. I didn't think that's where she was headed. And even though her mom said, 'No, she really really wants to be an actress,' I felt like, Nah, she won't because she really doesn't have the stereotypical personality."

We agree that she definitely shies away from the spotlight, but so does Jodie Foster! And she's still a working actress, too!

It takes all kinds to make up this biz!

Thoughts??

Unless we time warped to 1984, this statement is highly incorrect and offensive to the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt .

In a recent interview, Jodie Foster took up the reins of the Save Mel Gibson campagin and told reporters that she thought her pal was still revered in Tinsel Town. She went onto to say that Mel will be able to get through this "rough time" in his life and come out the other side a stronger man and actor. She told sources:

"He is incredibly loved by everyone that's ever come into contact with him or works with him. He is truly the most loved man in the film business, so, hopefully that stands for something."

Unfortunately, it doesn't, because it's just not so.

Will he be able to make a comeback? Sure, everyone loves to see an unredeemable soul be redeemed, but never will he be adored by the biz the way you're describing. He was never really loved that much to begin with!

But way to stand by your man, girl!

The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office has cleared Jodie Foster of charges from allegedly attacking a 17-year-old boy who was taking pictures of the actress and her children in May.

Jodie claimed that the kid was a professional paparazzo who scared her kids and claims to have never laid a hand on him.

Guess the court believed her!

There's no way anyone's going to want to see HIM in anything for a long time after what he pulled!

Now that the world has once again been made aware of how much Mel Gibson truly sucks with his horrifying, despicable and hate-fueled rants against his baby mama Oksana Grigorieva, many are speculating about what will happen to his career - or more specifically, how quickly it will take it to implode!

After his first foray into douchedom in 2006 - when he made anti-Semitic comments and harassed a female officer in Malibu - Gibson flew under the radar for a while, and hasn't released much since, with the exception of the shiteous Edge of Darkness.

But he was set for a comeback with Jodie Foster's The Beaver, a comedy about a man who expresses himself through a stuffed beaver puppet, set to be released in October!

There's been quite a bit of talk of possibly delaying the release of the film until the fallout settles, but we doubt people are going to forget about this bullshiz for quite some time!

We wonder how Jodie is going to tackle this. Sucks to go and make a movie and then your effing actor just shits away any chance of its success.

But she should have known better than to cast him!

What do U think?? What should become of Mel's latest comeback?? Would U go see it?

It seems Wentworth Miller has kept himself busy since the cancellation of Prison Break.

He's written the screenplay for the upcoming film Stoker, with Carey Mulligan and Jodie Foster in talks to star in the film.

The movie is about an eccentric teenager whose estranged uncle returns to the family after the death of her father.

Fox Searchlight and powerhouse Ridley and Tony Scott's Scott Free Productions are in talks to produce and distribute.

This movie sounds like a pretty big deal with a lot of star names. Maybe this is the beginning of a whole new career for Wentworth??

We hope he at least shows us his pretty face every once in a while!
