With a giant smile on his face -- and stains on his shirt -- Mel Gibson took over a ping pong table at a bar in NYC this weekend and played a little table tennis with his pal Josh Brolin. 
While most of the spectators surrounding the bar room athletes were pounding a drink of some sort, Gibson only had his hands on his paddle. 
No word on how he got home.

Nope, Wall Street 2 is still filming, this was the wrap off party of The Beaver.. who was done filming since the 13-14 of nov.
Mel stayed in New York the following week thus he was free, until thursday morning, nov 19th. He had a meeting with Richard Donner in Brentwood by Santa Monica, thats why he came back.

How is sobriety going Mel? Doesn't look like too well. Your eyes look more wasted than LiLo's.

Didn't Chris Rock say you never want to be the old guy hanging out at the bar with a bunch of 20 somethings? Mel, you're that guy.

People who are no longer drinking should not be visiting bars, regardless of the fact that they aren't drinking. Chuckio is totally right - Mel is the old guy with a drinking problem who probably buys rounds for the youngsters so he'll feel accepted. Very sad.

Have you guys ever done anything athletic besides running after Britney? The stains on Mel's shirt could be sweat, but you couldn't help your snarky selves, could you? Really, you guys at TMZ need to quit your whiney comments.

I bet Oksana will be jumping on his case, I bet she comes unglued, I hope so; Mr. "solid and faithful partner" is going to go overboard with his drinking and be going home with a 20+ blonde. Daddy would rather be in a BAR than be home with his "new family"?????

i used to like mel gibson as an actor, i thought his movies were good, but leaving his wife to take up with some russian hoe, after making passions of the christ and having his own church sickens me. i wont watch or buy anything now he touches.
all the money in the world, making religious movies and building your own church that says your not a sinner is not gonna buy your way into heaven mel! Your a HYPOCRITE!!
You need to start making you some satan worshipping movies, cause you will be knowing him soon!

Did Mel stumble in on a "much younger persons" party?? Is that the reason he has to exaggerate his expressions? Relax Mel, show some class.
