Amazing what pops up with search engines...

As much as I enjoy his movies (and believe "Passion" was inspired), the more I hear about him, the less impressed I become.

Seven kids and he had the marriage annulled? Mel has gone off his rocker....

[Rummyfan]

Either that or this Ukrainian bombshell has caused all the blood to rush from his head to his pe**s and he ain’t thinking straight!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Henry VIII comes to mind.

[Travis McGee]

I guess his 7 kids weren't ‘real’ either. Are they going to be ‘annulled’ too?

[Artemis Webb]

I don't think his actions now make his movies any less good or less great. I just think he's going through a mid life crisis and has gone mildly insane.

As for the annulment he's basically removed himself from The Church anyway so hey...why stop there!

[Sacajaweau]

The church made their own rules. A friend of mine got her marriage annulled....All you gotta do is PAY!!

“I guess his 7 kids weren’t ‘real’ either. Are they going to be ‘annulled’ too?”

Yes, in his case and in every other annullment.

I don’t get it.

This guy is such a train wreck.

[fatima]

That’s what I heard.

"Especially important was Mel's description of how he felt pressured into the marriage in the first place because Robyn was pregnant," a family insider says. "Those feelings indicated to Hutton that it couldn't have been a true marriage, and so he felt it must be invalid.

And how is that different from his upcoming marriage to his pregnant girlfriend?

[Venturer]

I dont know why Mel would worry about getting a farcical annullment. He knows and we know it isnt a true annullment so his conscience cannot be clear with it. Why seek it?

He probably would have gotten a real annulment from the Catholic Church if his name had been Ted Kennedy.

We all know Ted’s conscience is clear.

Do I believe even the Church’s real annulments are sometimes farcical??? Yeah , I do.

[growingpains]

I used to be a fan of Mel’s because of this convictions. No more. Now he is now an irrelevant nutcase. I feel for his kids.

[Travis McGee]

Very few people, even brilliant people, can survive a life of fame, great wealth, and constant adulation. This cocktail is potent enough to intoxicate almost anybody.

[Travis McGee]

And how is that different from his upcoming marriage to his pregnant girlfriend?

Wink wink. Setting up Annulment Two, when he meets another starlet he wants to bed.

[mware]

I remember James Caviezel, on an interview once saying, You don't expect to make a movie on the Passion and not get some of it handed to you.

Mel has the demons working on him overtime.

Sad.

[growingpains]

I agree. I am Catholic and the annulment is just the Catholic Church’s way of getting around a divorce. If you have the money, you get one.

[fatima]

It is sad.Pray for him .He is still looking to do a movie that I would like to see done.

[dangus]

Evidently, you did not read the article. He was refused an annulment by the Catholic Church, so he pulled a Henry VIII.

[Ditter]

I have lost all respect for Mel.............. oh wait.... Mel is Hollywood.... typical Hollywood behavior.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

where did you come up with that idea? :)
