It's interesting to try to divine the chicken-and-egg of Mel Gibson's firing by WME last week: Was it his (first-alleged, now aurally proved) misogynistic and racist comments that enabled the agency to part ways with him, or was it the death of longtime agent Ed Limato that did the trick?
Earlier today the news surfaced that William Morris Endeavor had split with Gibson last week-- as Limato lay seriously ill, and just several days after Radar Online broke the news that Gibson had verbally abused his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva by using the N-word. (The reports were just that until today, when audio of the Gibson incident was released on Radar.)
There's of course a third variable in all this -- the fact that Gibson just wasn't much of a bankable star anymore anyway.

“Why are you unwilling to condemn those who owned slaves in America?”
Marc Rich didn’t deserve a presidential pardon, but there you go...
That's the post where he said he still beats his wife.
Marc Rich?
Don’t you think that is a bit off topic?
Deuteronomy 15:18
Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because his service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.
There you have it. The Bible says that a slave should be set free after only six years and Slave Holders in America violated God's Law by holding human being in slavery for hundreds of years.
Well now troll, you've made this thread about you with your nasty comments and I'm certain you aren't Gibson.
Nasty comments about who?
Thus far on this thread it has been said that I hate Jews, I’m a racist, that I as an American citizen do not deserve to live in America and that I beat my wife.
It does not appear that I am the one who is resorting to writing nasty comments about other people.
Eaker said you don’t deserve American citizenship, I commented that, like you, Marc Rich received something he didn’t deserve. In Marc Rich’s case, his exwife bought him a pardon.
By the format of your post, I see that you agree with Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich. How do you justify this.
I can only assume you guys do not believe I deserve American citizenship due to what you perceive my ethnicity to be.
WOW! Did you parse that verse! It applies ONLY to Hebrews. But you do like to twist.
Deuteronomy 15: 15-20
12 If a fellow Hebrew, a man or a woman, sells himself to you and serves you six years, in the seventh year you must let him go free. 13 And when you release him, do not send him away empty-handed. 14 Supply him liberally from your flock, your threshing floor and your winepress. Give to him as the LORD your God has blessed you. 15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you. That is why I give you this command today.
16 But if your servant says to you, "I do not want to leave you," because he loves you and your family and is well off with you, 17 then take an awl and push it through his ear lobe into the door, and he will become your servant for life. Do the same for your maidservant.
18 Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because his service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.
and Slave Holders in America violated God's Law by holding human being in slavery for hundreds of years.
They couldn't have been worth much as a slave since being hundreds of years old makes them rather lazy.
Slavery has been around since the beginning of time.
So. Now answer the question. Where did Jesus speak out against slavery?
There you have it. Truman supports slavery as long as the slaves are released after six years.
I disagree with Truman. Slavery should not exist, it's an abomination that God regulated because of human wickedness. I also think Truman should stop beating his wife.
Where did I say the nasty comments were about other people. Are you Bill Clinton? You can parse and twist REALLY well.
One of your nasty comments: I’m not quite sure America has paid for the “mistake” of slavery, but even if it has paid for that “mistake,” it does not minimize that mistake or absolve America of slavery and placing African Americans in scientific experiments.
Actually what trumandogz posted only applies to Hebrews owning Hebrews. And only if they sold themselves to you. It says nothing about freeing slaves of other races.
There you go, twisting everyone elses words. Eaker never said you didn't deserve American citizenship because of your perceived ethnicity.
Eaker said you didn't deserve American citizenship because you're an America hating seditionist.
“Slavery has been around since the beginning of time.”
So therefore slavery is an acceptable practice today as it was 150 years ago?
So. Now answer the question. Where did Jesus speak out against slavery?
Again, the Bible says that slaves should not be held for more than six years, but I see slavery as evil in 2010, 1862, 1820 and at any time prior to that.
Yup. It's all about YOU! Had enough attention for today? Crave more? Make more comments that are anti-American. Twist what others say. You may even get a Mods attention.
“Eaker said you didn’t deserve American citizenship because you’re an America hating seditionist.”
I’m a seditionist because I stated that I believe that slavery in America was evil?
What it SAYS is that Hebrews cannot hold Hebrews for more than 6 years.
Now answer where Jesus said to abolish slavery.
“What it SAYS is that Hebrews cannot hold Hebrews for more than 6 years.”
So, you believe it is okay to hold slaves as long as you do not hold Hebrew slaves for more than six years?
