Mel Gibson’s Ex: Details On Split Coming Soon

MOSCOW, Russia

Mel Gibson’s ex, Oksana Grigorieva, held a press conference on Monday in Moscow, Russia to announce a charity concert in Moscow that will aid victims of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster – but many of the reporters wanted details on her sudden split from the 54-year-old actor.

“I am anxious to talk about children,” she told reporters during a press conference for the Give a Life charity. “It is more important for me than my relations with Mel.”

The Russian-born singer, who has a 5-month old child with the actor, did offer up a cryptic explanation for their split.

“But if you want to know, I can tell you that after three years of relationship, we have split up – suddenly and recently. Unfortunately, I cannot give you the reason. But you will find out everything quite soon,” she said. “Here is the official version: we split up by mutual consent and we will raise our daughter together.”

Oksana also denied reports that Mel asked for a paternity test.

“It’s not true,” she said. “There [have] been a lot of lies written about us.”

She also said she plans on removing a hammer-and-sickle tattoo from her ankle that Mel told her to get.

“I mean, you’re married and suddenly you have your own family,” Scarlett told InStyle magazine in it’s May issue. “There’s a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You’ve got your home in that other person.”

Scarlett might be loving married life, but she said that she still loves her alone time – especially when it’s in the kitchen.

“I like cooking alone – I find it very therapeutic,” she told the mag. “I put on some music, maybe have a glass of wine, and make something like a turkey Bolognese or a nice frittata.”

In fact, the big screen beauty said a night a home is something she prefers over a night on the town.

“You’re not going to find me at 4 AM hitting up the club, bottle full of bub… Maybe on a rare occasion. But I’ve just never been much of a clubby, nightlife kind of person,” she explained. “I’m not a social butterfly. I’ve never been part of a scandal that was really juicy.”

Scarlett will next be seen as The Black Widow in “Iron Man 2,” which hits theaters on May 7.

Alan Cumming Drops Out Of Broadway’s ‘Spider-Man’

Paging a new Green Goblin.

“Spider-Man Turn Off the Dark” has lost the services of Alan Cumming who was to have portrayed the villainous character in the long-delayed Broadway musical.

Spokesman Adrian Bryan-Brown said in a statement Tuesday that Cumming withdrew from the show about the famous web slinger because of “a scheduling conflict.”

At one time, the lavish musical was set to begin preview performances in late February with an official opening at the Hilton Theatre set for sometime in April. Bryan-Brown said no further details were available at this time, but added “casting and a production schedule … will be announced soon.”

“Spider-Man” was co-written by its director, Julie Taymor of “Lion King” fame, and features a score by Bono and The Edge

Cameron Douglas Sentenced To 5-Year Prison Term

One day after Michael Douglas’ plea for mercy from a judge for his son in a five-page, handwritten letter was made public, Cameron Douglas was sentenced to a hefty prison sentence, the result of pleading guilty to drug charges.

Cameron — Michael Douglas’ son — was sentenced to 60 months in prison plus five years of supervised release. He originally pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute drugs and heroin possession on January 27. The charges carried a mandatory 10-year prison sentence, but in recent weeks, his family – including grandfather Kirk Douglas and step mother Catherine Zeta-Jones — as well as Cameron’s attorneys asked the judge for a lighter sentence.

Michael and his ex-wife Diandra Douglas (Cameron’s mother) were visibly upset by the sentencing.

At the hearing, Cameron apologized to his family and loved ones for putting them through what he called a nightmare. He said he wanted to try and become a role model to his younger siblings. Cameron added that he believes things will be different in the future because he has the support of his family.

Cameron was arrested last July at a hotel in New York City.

In Michael’s letter to the judge earlier this week, he said the Douglas family’s own history with fame and substance abuse affected his son.

“I have some idea of the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father,” Michael wrote. ” '‘I’m not sure I can comprehend it with two generations to deal with.”

FolloSam Mendes And Robert Downey Jr Could Follow The Yellow Brick Roadw The Yellow Brick

After tons of talk, a new Wizard of Oz film is coming, but this one won’t involve Dakota Fanning or Todd McFarlane, rather Robert Downey Jr. and Sam Mendes. As tweeted by Production Weekly, there is something called Oz The Great And Powerful in the works with Mendes the top pick to direct and Downey Jr. eyeing the starring role, the Wizard. That’s about all the detail the tweet provides (damn 140 character limit), but, odds are, it’s Mitchell Kapner’s Wizard origin story, Brick, with a new title. The fact that this news surfaced post Alice in Wonderland’s massive success suggests that Oz The Great And Powerful could take the classic into darker and more experimental territory. Perhaps we could be looking at a Downey Jr. spin on the Wizard in the vein of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter – with less silliness, of course. And the fact that Joe Roth, the producer of Alice, is said to be behind this effort, a similarity is more than likely. It’s nearly impossible to speculate which will come first for Mendes, this or the ever troubled Bond 23. And the same goes for Downey Jr. With all of these Avengers rumors floating around on top of Sherlock Holmes 2 and the potential continuation of the Iron Man franchise, we’ll just have to wait and see how these filmmakers plan to lay the bricks.
