Is anyone really interested in the story of Mel Gibson’s affair with a much younger Russian model? The one that ended his marriage of about a kabillion years? Of course we all know that the mistress Oksana is preggers and now it’s coming out that Mel wants a DNA test. Of course,it seems like an obvious step when people claim to have some sort of hold on a celebrity’s fortune but the weird part is that, according to the National Enquirer, Mel didn’t come to the realization that he might want to get some medical verification all on his own but he needed his friends to tell him to do it. From the National Enquirer,

“Dad-to-be Mel Gibson is asking his pregnant GF Oksana to agree to a paternity test on their baby to determine if he’s really the father!

The Enquirer has learned the Apocalypto billionaire agreed to seek a DNA test after his grown children and close friends persuaded him to make sure the baby is a rightful heir to his fortune.

“Mel loves Oksana, but he’s a businessman, too. He really had no choice but to ask for a DNA test,” a source close to the 53-year-old actor told The Enquirer.

The Oscar-winning actor made the decision after speaking with friends and with the grown children he had with his estranged wife Robyn, the source divulged.

“Some of Mel’s closest friends in his church convinced him that it’s the practical thing to do. There’s just too much at stake,” the insider said.”

So if someone is just making up the part that Mel needed to be told to make such a common-sense move, why? Is it all just to make Mel Gibson look even stupider than he already makes himself look? Well maybe but I don’t think he really needs a whole lot of help in that area.
