Mel Gibson’s son Will is dealing with his parents’ divorce by throwing himself into charity work in Africa.

Gibson announced earlier this year (09) that his 28-year marriage to wife Robyn was over and it later emerged the actor was dating Russian singer Oksana Grigorieva, who subsequently revealed she’s expecting the Lethal Weapon star’s child.

And now, according to a National Enquirer report, 25-year-old Will Gibson – one of the actor’s seven kids with Robyn – has fled to Africa to escape the family controversy, and he has been occupying himself by working with nuns to help the poor in the developing world.

A source tells the tabloid, “Will just had to get away from all the madness surrounding his family… It was just too much for him.”

Mel Gibson is growing his hair back, after his son dared him to shave himself bald.

The embarrassed actor was convinced a skinhead would be a good look for him, but it backfired badly.

Gibson, 53, tells the New York Post, “I thought it would be cool. That I’d be Shaft. Looking like I was a plucked chicken, the only perk was I wasn’t recognized in a crowd.”

Mel Gibson has twin sons who turn 26 this year, Edward and Christian, who both have stints in rehab. Ed was out of rehab late last year for an alcohol and cocaine addiction, and Christian got a DUI in 2006 and checked into rehab in late January of this year. Mel, who has also has a well publicized DUI under his belt, has recently befriended pop singer Britney Spears, 26. Britney has spent time at Mel’s estate in Costa Rica and has been seen out to dinner with him and his family.

While some speculated that Mel wanted to help Britney with her personal problems, and others wondered if he was trying to convert her to his unique brand of Catholicism, Mel may have had another motivation for spending time with Britney. The National Enquirer reports that Mel tried to set Britney up with the less messed-up twin her age, Edward, but that Britney wasn’t having that. Mel’s son Edward is working his recovery program and The Enquirer says Mel believed he would be a good influence on her.

[Mel Gibson] believed his son Edward – who was in rehab last year for cocaine and alcohol addition – had turned his life around and could help Britney do the same, an insider told The Enquirer.

“Mel felt Ed would be a great influence on Brit, and if the relationship turned to romance, all the better,” said the insider.

So Gibson arranged a meeting between the pair at Britney’s home in the Hollywood Hills last March, said the source.

“He sincerely believed that his son could help Britney stay on the straight and narrow and that they might hit it off as a couple as well,” the insider explained.

But Britney, 26, gave the cold shoulder to Mel and Edward …

“She hid from them most of the night,” revealed the insider. “Mel and his son spent most of the evening talking to her bodyguards.”

There must have been no hard feelings between Britney and Mel after she tried to avoid the set up with one of his sons. She was seen at his Costa Rican getaway in mid-May. Britney also brought along a man with whom she’s been romantically linked in the past, agent Jason Trawick. Maybe Britney and Jason were already dating at that point and she wasn’t open to meeting Mel’s son or maybe she just wasn’t interested in the guy. Can you imagine thinking it’s a good idea to set up Britney Spears with a member of your family, though? At that point it had only been two months since she had that big melt down and was hospitalized.

The National Enquirer are prone to lying, so take this ’story’ for what it’s worth.

I’ve been curious since the story broke as to why Mel Gibson had taken a seemingly sudden interest in Britney Spears. I was hoping maybe he was just being a nice guy and trying to help another one of La La Land’s lost souls. Turns out he may have actually been trying to play matchmaker.

Seems Mel has twin sons, 26, who have been in rehab themselves. Mel decided, according to the Enquirer, that one of his twins would be a good influence on the Britster and decided to arrange for them to meet. Mel and his son, Edward, visited Brit Brit’s home but she didn’t want anything to do with the two and hid out in her room all night.

Obviously this meeting didn’t scare Britney away too much since she ended up going on vacation with Mel and his wife, but at least it answers the burning question of just why Mel took an interest in Britney in the first place. Let’s hope he’s moved on from wannabe father-in-law to just plain friend.

Hollywood star Mel Gibson is nursing a new heartbreak – a second son has reportedly checked into rehab.

Just three months after his 25 year-old son Edward checked into rehab for drink and drug problems, his twin brother Christian has checked into the same nerve center. According to US sheet The Enquirer, Christian entered rehab to battle his addiction to crack, pills and booze.

Edward was admitted to the Cri-Help center in North Hollywood back in September 2007.

Now the Enquirer claims that Christian likewise checked in scarcely before Christmas. Mad Soap star Gibson, world Health Organization was himself ordered to enroll in an alcohol maltreat program after his DUI arrest and anti-semitic rant back in July 2006, is footing the bill. He has been paying $5,five hundred a month for each twin in a bid to help them reclaim.

The costs are far less than the usual $25,000 – $30,000 it costs to stay in such celebrity friendly rehab centres like Promises in Malibu. Truck driver Tom Paige was in Cri-Help rehab centre at the time when both twins were being treated. Paige, 40, from a resident at the centre from September 2007 to earlier this month and met both Gibson boys. He told the Enquirer that both twins chequered into the center voluntarily after their famous dad got tough with them. Satchel Paige told the Inquirer: “Christian was placid in there when I left. “He entered in December after he was thrown and twisted out of a house he’d been staying at in Malibu for non paying his snag. “He told me he’d been homeless and living in his cart – and that he was addicted to crack, pills and intoxicant. “His brother Eddie entered first for a month in Sept, with alcohol and cocaine addiction.” Eddie was discharged in Oct but he non-effervescent continued to wait on twice weekly ‘alumni meetings’ which included bingo games.

Paige chatted to the gemini and watched them together – and told the Inquirer that the Althea Gibson boys had non always been a model of brotherly love. Paige added: “Eddie and his comrade were not speaking after they fought in a club over something stupid. Eddie knocked his brother out. Now they’ve kissed and made up and Christian showed me the scar on his lip.” Both of Gibson’s sons seem to have finally conquered their battle with drink and drugs. But Paige told the Enquirer that they were both in a ‘poor shape’ when they first checked into Cri-Help. He said: “Eddie was a mess.

He didn’t speak to anyone for years, he had his sweater hood over his head for the first 48 hours. One time when I asked Eddie how his papa was, he laughed grimly and said: ‘Well he hasn’t fucked up recently!’ Christian had a boneheaded beard and was only 120 pounds. He put on 30 pounds piece being treated.” Father of seven Gibson and his wife Robyn visited the twins regularly added Satchel Paige: “When they came for Halloween and one of the patients in a play was appareled as a warrior with a steel, Mel said: ‘That guy was great!’ “And the family was also there for Christmas dinner. All I saw was love and laughter.
