It’s over for Mel and his wife – Mel Gibson’s wife, Robyn had divorce papers served to the star on Friday. Mel and Robyn Gibson had been married for 28 years, though it’s been widely rumored that the couple have been separated for some time.

Robyn cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her divorce from Mel.

Now comes the matter of how Mel Gibson and his wife’s divorce will impact splitting assets, spousal support and custody of their 10-year-old son, Tom.

Mel Gibson and his soon-to-be-ex have seven children, but only Tom is a minor.

Mel and Robyn issued a statement about their divorce, saying: “Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so.”

The Dirt Flies After Heath Ledger’s Passing

It’s being said that Mel Gibson, who played Heath Ledger’s father in The Patriot, had advised Ledger not to take the gay cowboy role in Brokeback Mountain, and that their friendship suffered after that. Gibson had supposedly indicated that Ledger’s career would be ruined by such a role. There are further allegations that Gibson has made homophobic comments several times (though not to Ledger), but his rep denies it.

Ledger, who passed away on Tuesday, will be buried in his native Australia. There will not be a public viewing. The masseuse who found him could be facing charges or jail time because she’s not licensed – a crime in NY state.

In the meantime, Mary-Kate Olsen, who might be questioned by police (depending on whom you ask) about why the masseuse supposedly called her several times before calling 911, has supposedly been partying it up at an NYC club. Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t a normal person NOT party it up three days after the death of a friend? Or maybe it’s her way of coping.
