Mel Gibson was on "The Tonight Show" to talk about his two latest projects -- his divorce from wife Robyn, and the pregnancy of his new GF, Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva.
While talking to Jay Leno, the conservative Catholic actually took the blame for his split from his wife of 28 years, saying "I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself ... put it here."
His kid with Grigorieva will make 8 for Gibson -- prompting him to call himself "Octo-Mel."
46. It's interesting how people preach their religion and yet pick and choose which rules to observe based on what suites them.

47. I'm sure Robin will be happy to hear he referred to her as an "admirable woman". He admired her SO much that he
couldn't wait until AFTER the divorce to get another woman pregnant. If I didn't think he was a bonehead before...after watching him on Leno...I sure do now. Karma, Mel.

49. What's the deal with TMZ always bringing up a persons religion(especailly if they're Christians)? Does TMZ always mention every Jew or athiest in the same condescending way? I don't think so. Tmz is always giving Miss California, The Jonas Brothers and Mel gibson a hard time because of whom they chose to worship. It's ridiculous. Last time I checked I live in America, and so for in this administration, I still have the right (and so do above mentioned) to to enjoy my FREEDOM of religion and speech. THE ONES WHO SCREAM THE LOUDEST ABOUT INTOLERANCE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE THE MOST INTOLERANT!!!!!!! The freedoms you and I enjoy, go BOTH ways. I should not be judged of mine just like you should not be judged of yours.

50. I agree with the previous comment -- TMZ does go after Christians in a bigoted, hateful way. Mel Gibson may claim to be Catholic, but he's never claimed to be a saint. In fact, he's always publcally stated he is far from it. Just because you fail to live up to your standards, doesn't mean you're a hypocrite., it means you're human. And of course, the people screaming "hypocrite" have never failed to live up to their standards .... oh yeah, I forgot, they can't be hypocrites because they have no standards to live up to.

51. Mel's religion is always brought up because HE always brings it up, apparently not realizing what a hypocrite he is being. I USED to admire the man, but now see that his family and religion were just something to hide behind. I hope he loses his money AND his career. Losing the bimbo is just a matter of time.

52. I doubt very much they will have any long lasting relationship. Mr. King of Malibu Mel will be paying in the millions over the course of 18 years for child support. He is not only a dumb ass alcoholic, but an idiot as well to have unprotected sex. This episode in his life will be just another minor bump in the road for someone so full of himself. His soon to be ex wife made the best decision for herself and children to divorce Mel. The woman bearing his child seems to be the type, much like the women who bore John Edwards child. For the time being, they both deserve each other.

56. Good job Mel, way to keep those Catholic values going. How insulting to these wives that these guys can't even wait till the ink is dry on the divorce papers (are you listening Brad?) before they knock up the "younger replacement"...it's called BIRTH CONTROL and you're rich enough to use it. Don't even bother marrying these men ladies, you'll just be replaced by your childs classmate in about 20 years.

57. DAM..8 kids... Wonder how many different Mom's all these kids have. I hope his ex get's it all.. Mel is a hazbeen and certinaly is not Mr.Playboy.
Men that think they are all that, make me sick.. He is proud to have destroyed his marriage.. Sounds like he needs to learn to keep it in his pants, or take some of the millions he has made to buy a case of condoms.

58. I am sorry that you get your religious information from Mel Gibson, now I see why it matters so much to you. So, what if he brings it up, so what if he 'tells you to jump off a bridge' He is just a guy, whose job happens to be ACTING, not religious studies, not political, not marriage advise So besides you I can't see why it matters.

59. I stand corrected and apologize to Oksana K. Thanks for pointing that out, #43. -- seems many others also made that mistake. You know what they say.... "Any publicity..........."
I will go to the Polo Lounge and put a tip in her glass.
Doesn't change the fact that the other Oksana and whatshisface deserve each other.

60. Geez people...When did Mel ever claim he was perfect?...
The sanctimonious comments from folks who weren't inside their marriage are pathetic...
I don't necessarily agree with everything Mel does, but he is human and entitled to make the same mistakes as everyone else...
Stop acting as though he should be held to standards that go overlooked in Hollywood everyday...
