Mel Gibson Names His Daughter Lucia
Mel Gibson has named his new child. The ‘What Women Want’ star - whose girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva gave birth on Friday – has announced the couple plan to call the infant Lucia. A representative for Mel confirmed:
"Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson welcomed the arrival of a baby girl named Lucia on Friday, Oct. 30, 2009, at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles."
Mel, 53, took a break from filming ‘The Beaver’ while Oksana was in hospital and was given a warm welcome when he returned to the set on Monday. A source on set said:
"Everyone sang 'For He's A Jolly Good Fellow' and he blushed."
A friend added:
"Everything is great! They couldn't be happier. Everyone's healthy and thrilled. He loves it!"
Wonder if their other children have met Lucia yet?
Mel Gibson Welcomes His Eight Child
Mel Gibson has become a father for the eighth time. The ‘Lethal Weapon’ actor’s girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva gave birth to a baby girl on Friday and both mother and daughter are said to be doing well.
The baby – whose name is yet to be revealed – was due in December.
Mel already has seven children with his estranged wife Robyn, while Oksana has a son, Alexander, with former boyfriend Timothy Dalton.
In September, Oksana spoke of her excitement at becoming a mother again.
"I have a 12-year-old, so I've been a mother for 12 years – and of course, there is no first time mother's trepidation as such. So naturally it's more relaxed, and I'm very dynamic so the pregnancy falls into my work schedule."
Falls into her "work schedule"? Well, I guess that worked out then.
Congrats to the happy couple.

Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson Film 'The Beaver'
Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson were snapped on the set of their new movie The Beaver, a comedy/drama set to release in 2011.
A guy walks around with a puppet of a beaver on his hand and treats it like a living creature.
Sounds, uh...different. LOL!
According to IMDB, Steve Carell and Jim Carrey were both previously attached to play the lead before it went to Mel. I'm pretty happy to see Mel return to a more comedic role - I loved that side of him in the Lethal Weapon movies. And I love Jodie in a comedy role, too - her character was a riot in Nim's Island. It's rare for an actor/actress to be able to pull off both comedy and drama but these two are great at it! Jodie is also directing this movie.

Mel Gibson And Girlfriend Have No Plans To Wed
This is one of those pairings that seemed to happen so fast, I'm still reeling a little. Mel Gibson and his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, have no plans to marry, either before or after she gives birth to their child, which is due in December.
"Actually we have no plans to marry whatsoever," she told the [British] morning show GMTV. "I haven't thought about it – we haven't spoken about it."
"I have a 12 year old, so I've been a mother for 12 years – and of course, there is no first time mother's trepidation as such," Grigorieva said. "So naturally it's more relaxed, and I'm very dynamic so the pregnancy falls into my work schedule."
Mel and his first wife were married for 30 years, and they only filed for divorce in April, so I can see where he may not be in a huge rush to head down the aisle. Well, between Oksana's 12-year-old and Mel's seven children with his first wife, this baby will have no shortage of older siblings to look out for her/him!

Mel Gibson And Jodie Foster Team Up For Beaver
Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster are teaming up once again for the big screen. It's been 15 years since the two actors have worked alongside one another and now E! News is confirming the actors have signed up for 'The Beaver'.
A quirky comedy drama along the lines of 2007's indie hit Lars and the Real Girl (or, depending on your humor, South Park), the Kyle Killen-penned script follows a down-and-out man (Gibson) who finds comfort wearing a beaver hand puppet. Foster will not only play his wife, but she'll also helm the film, marking her first directing effort since 1995's Home for the Holidays.
Sounds... interesting! :)
The only reason why I would even give this one a shot is because Jodie doesn't do just any movie. It seems she waits until something feels right.
Do you watch movies based on which actors are involved even if the plot doesn't really interest you?
Mel Gibson Won't Live With His Pregnant Girlfriend
No, there's no trouble in paradise. Mel Gibson is just trying to do the right thing by his pregnant girlfriend's other child, Alexander.
Mel and Oksana Grigorieva "do not share a home as Oksana doesn’t want to disturb the life of her
11-year-old son, whose father is actor Timothy Dalton. A US magazine
said: “At the end of the evening, the couple typically return to their
separate homes so Oksana can get her son Alexander off to a local
school in the mornings." Oksana is determined for Alexander and Mel –
who has seven children with estranged wife Robyn – to be friends in
time for the arrival of the new baby."
Maybe this is a good sign for the couple...they're taking it slow and making it work...
