Mel Gibson has made it into the news again with some more of his infamous, not-so-tasteful behaviour, this time allegedly attacking a photographer posing as a fan at the grand opening of new Los Angeles hotspot, Playhouse.

According to onlookers at the scene, a Life & Style reporter who had spent the evening pretending to be a fan of the Gibson’s tried to snap a picture of the actor and his pregnant girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.

When Gibson’s security team took the camera and deleted the photos, the paparrazzo sent in her pal Karlis Gajevskis to take more photos. A fed up Gibson then attacked Gajevskis, ripping his shirt.

“Mel approached the guy who tried to take his picture and ripped his shirt,” an onlooker said.

The source added that Gajevskis left the club immediately and indicated that he was on his way to report a battery charge to the police against Gibson. The Mad Max actor and his girlfriend left shortly after, too upset over the incident to continue in their celebrations.

Earlier in the evening, Gibson was said to have been “really respectful” to the media who’d turned up for the event, politely refusing when he was asked for a photograph. Gajevskis and his reporter friend, onlookers said, were overly “pushy” and had even tried pretending to be a part of Gibson’s VIP table in order to get a shot of the actor.

Britney Spears and father Jamie are currently en-route to Costa Rice, where they will spend “a few days” relaxing with Hollywood superstar, Mel Gibson, and his wife, at the What Women Want star’s holiday home.

“They’re just going away for a few days to relax,” a source told People today.

Surprising, huh? Who would have thought that after their little meeting in the Russian restaurant Romanov, back in March, Spears and Gibson would become such close friends that they started vacationing together?

The foursome will stay in Gibson’s Costa Rican holiday home, and will be back sometime next week.

According to the source, Gibson and Spears’ new-found friendship has little to do with the fact that they used to be neighbours, and more because of what the young pop star went through at the hands of the press during her various stints in a mental asylum earlier in the year.

“Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible,” the source explained.

“There are no expectations, there is no agenda,” added the source. “It’s simply an act of human kindness.”
