The entertainment world is still buzzing over yesterday's revelation that Oksana Grigorieva -- mother of Mel Gibson's youngest child -- captured racist and misogynistic tirades directed at her by the actor on tape. RadarOnline had the exclusive on that -- and shared some of the lowlights, including such gems as "You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault," and "I am going to come and burn the f**king house down ... but you will blow me first." Gibson, whose image was still taking a beating from his infamous 2006 DUI arrest (he went on a rant about Jews that time), might have just hammered the final nail into the coffin of his career.If that's the case, Gibson has no one to blame but himself. However, if he does go down for good, it looks like he might take at least one project with him.
Gibson, who's been largely absent from the screen since that arrest, was hoping to resuscitate his career in 2010. He appeared in Edge of Darkness earlier this year and is starring in Jodie Foster's absolutely bizarre sounding comedy The Beaver. In that film, Gibson plays "a depressed CEO who finds a new lease on life when he begins to communicate with friends and family via a beaver hand puppet." The question now is, what do you do with this film?
