Aaaw, Mel! Just Another Hollywood Husband!

When Mel Gibson and his wife (of umpteenth years) threw in the towel and called it quits, I was crestfallen.

I mean, here was a Hollywood hunk who managed to be faithful to his wife and mother of his six ( I think) kids amid all the temptation in tinseltown.

I took my hat off for this man. I thought -- hey, not bad. He could stay good for his wife and kids.

I suppose Mel Gibson was able to go on just for as long as his libido - and ok ok, his heart -- allow.

Mel Gibson is just another Hollywood husband. He bites the dust.

Why I am disappointed -- and I know I shouldn't be -- is that all around him were marriages falling apart at the slightest excuse. He remained with wife , Robyn. And Robyn with him, through thick and thin. In sickness and in health.

Of course, he has denied that his divorce was caused by his affair with this younger woman. Aaah....they all say that!

The girlfriend is a stunner of a belle from Eastern Europe. Couldn't resist her, could you?
Damn!

Men!

Here's the story:

It's official: Mel Gibson's girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, is pregnant.

The actor confirmed the news during a taping of NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno to air tonight.

"I guess Im 'Octo-Mel,'" says Gibson, who already has seven kids with his wife of 28 years, Robyn.

Robyn filed for divorce six weeks ago amidst speculation that Grigorieva, a singer on Gibson's record label, was expecting a child.

"My wife and I, our marriage ended three years ago and weve been separated ever since then," Gibson tells Leno. "These things happen. It's unfortunate, it's sad, but you know she is an admirable woman -- we still got kids together, we're friends.

"Look," Gibson continues. "When it's all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I'm to blame. If you're inclined to judge, put it here."

Gibson also says his separation from Robyn had nothing to do with Grigorieva, whom he didn't meet until 2008.

When asked by Leno if they would wed, Gibson says: "Why would you get married twice?"

According to reports, Grigorieva is in her second trimester and due this fall.
Grigorieva, 38, and Gibson, 53, came out publicly as a couple at the April 29 premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in Los Angeles.

The duo became close after Grigorieva was hired to compose a song on Gibson's thriller, Edge of Darkness, which filmed last summer in Massachusetts.

American Idol 2009 -- And The Dark Horse Wins

Or you can call him the underdog.

Kris Allen is this year's American Idol, beating favourite Adam Lambert.

He must be the underdog Simon Cowell was referring to earlier this season.

I don't know what to say except that I think he's got zillions of sympathy votes. Although I know that as the season progressed, he drew a growing fan base.

The guy is likeable. Sweet.

He was probably more shocked than anyone else when Ryan announced his name.

Don't get me wrong. I like the guy but I think he pales in comparison to Adam.

To me, an idol has got to fulfill a host of criteria. He or she should be able to sound good on record and has potential to be great performer.
Adam Lambert fits all.

Kris is a good singer, but I think he is in the mediocrity league....
God, he doesn't even think he can sing so well.

That said, I believe that this dark horse won over more and more fans over time because he began to shine and displayed his "character" and "personality".

Perhaps, his simplicity and down-to-earth-ness count.

Yeah...being modest, humble and understated is his strong point, if you know what I mean.

Oh well. Although my money was on Adam :ambert, I did reckon that Kris might just get the crown.

An upset win did play in my mind.

I suppose, you may think you know who's going to win, but God disposes!

What else can I say....

American Idol -- Why Adam Shouldn't Be In The Running

Very odd that me, Witchbroo, finds the pull of American Idol so irresistible. God help me.

I'm gonna get to the point here. Won't be explaining why I'm semi-addicted to this season's AI. Perhaps because there are some real great talents there.

My 17 year-old niece, Zuleika, has been following AI since its first season. So, she's kind of an AI pro viewer.

On Wednesday, Zuli and her friends camped at her place to watch American Idol.

They are all Matt Giraud's fans. Ok ok. That's so simplistic. They are all of the five finalists' fans!
From Wednesday, they reckon they're going to have a very teary ride.

They are all in a dilemma becasue they did not want any of the five to fall. At the same time, they are realistic.

"Someone is gonna go home tomorrow," I told them -- Zuli, Erica, Samantha, Ai Lin and Jeya.

"No no, Aunty Jee. No no...sob sob sob," Zuli wept.

OMG! Is she nuts or what? Hahaaa...I'm a fine one to be yapping like that.

Here's my point and what I really want to say.

THAT Adam Lambert cannot be a contestant in American Idol.

BECAUSE -- he is in a class of his own. He is up there. He's a star ALREADY. He is damn damn good.

I know he was in the bottom three - no, gsap, it was bottom 2 -this week. But I think that's just unlucky, a one-off episode.
There's always going to be a first time for everyone.
Walking down the stairs the way he did must have irked America. Click HERE.

Adam lambert has already got it going for himself and American Idol can no longer be a platform for him to propel his career. He should be taken out NOW and be given a record deal.

Okay. I've said my peace so I don't have to hold my peace no more.

And by the way, When Matt was dunked out on Thursday, Zuli got sick. Really ill. No, not Swine Flu....just a bug. The Matt-Got-Dropped bug.
