Mel Gibson takes girlfriend out in public

By Alexandra Heilbron on April 29, 2009 | 29 Comments

Mel Gibson, 53, and girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, 39, made a public appearance at the X-Men Origins: Wolverine screening in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Grigorieva, a singer signed to Gibson’s Icon Records label, was holding hands with the actor as they walked the red carpet, before heading into Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. “They came in quietly and as under the radar as they could and they were pretty low-key,” an insider told People.com. “Mel seemed very comfortable.” Gibson’s publicist told People: “Mel has been single for almost three years and it’s nice to see him getting out and enjoying himself.” Grigorieva is believed to be the mystery brunette with Gibson was seen kissing on a Costa Rican beach in March, despite 24-year-old pop star Oksana Pochepa’s claims that she had been the one dating and “in love with” him. Grigorieva, his proven “real” (and more age-appropriate?) girlfriend, previously dated actor Timothy Dalton, with whom she has an 11-year-old son. ~Meryl H.

   well, i clearly can not speak for celebrities, but i always thought you were SUPPOSED to take your girlfriend/boyfriend out in public? 😛

   I think they were probably waiting for divorce proceedings to begin, probably for legal reasons.

   And I heard she might be pregnant too…so you know she has him now, she’ll be guaranteed a piece of the pie (after his wife gets her settlement).

   well, mel, that will teach you…

   “came in quietly an under the radar and pretty low-ley” – that’ll teach you!

   Neon sign around your head next time whilst playing a trombone and screaming “Mel Gibson’s in the house” will warrant same media coverage…

   you cannot hide…

13. Nancy • May 1, 2009 @ 4:05 PM

    Two different Oksana’s, Michael. One is Oksana Grigorieva, and the other is Oksana Pochepa. So, to everyone out there named Oksana…..get your butt’s up to Malibu and rub shoulders with Mel…hmmm…half of half of $900 mil…?

14. mandee • May 1, 2009 @ 11:38 PM

15. Nancy • May 2, 2009 @ 9:14 AM

    Sounds good, mandee! Just remember….you’d have to consummate the marriage. 😀

16. Nancy • May 2, 2009 @ 9:15 AM

    I wonder who’d be more drunk for that…you or him? LOL

17. Nancy • May 2, 2009 @ 9:44 AM

    Oh, and I mean no offence to you in that comment because Mel is already a drunk.

18. mandee • May 2, 2009 @ 5:49 PM

19. Nancy • May 2, 2009 @ 6:22 PM

20. mandee • May 2, 2009 @ 9:55 PM

21. lily • May 2, 2009 @ 10:31 PM

    ummm Mel is 53 years old…I’m thinking it would be more like 2 minutes, so just call me Oksana too!

22. Nancy • May 3, 2009 @ 5:35 PM

    So….if I’m getting half mandee, does this make me a “pimp” or should I say a “madame”? Hahaha.

23. mandee • May 3, 2009 @ 7:48 PM

    im kinda liking the word “pimp” but the choice is yours. lol. we should definitely take over the world you and me. we would make a good team. 🙂

26. Nancy • May 5, 2009 @ 10:40 AM

    Not me, I don’t watch it. I like comedies too much! You should check out ‘Kenny vs Spenny’…totally hilarious!!

27. mandee • May 6, 2009 @ 12:17 AM

    i have ! that one is pretty funny !!! 😀 my problem with comedies is, i dont find things funny the way others do. so therefore usually laugh out loud comedies (to everyone else) are usually not that amusing for me. i find it hard to really LAUGH at comedy.

28. .. • May 8, 2009 @ 3:02 AM

29. mandee • May 8, 2009 @ 11:36 PM
