VIDEO: Mel Gibson Confirms Dropping Baby Blintz in Girlfriend's Babushka on Leno
Kicking off Jay Leno’s final week of Tonight Show broadcasts was guest Mel Gibson, who slipped his old friend a headline-grabbing scoop before waving him off to an uncharted future in prime time. Not that Leno didn’t work for it: Seconds after Gibson’s ass made upholstery contact, the host went in for the kill, bringing up the topic of the prominent actor/director/judeotheorist’s recent divorce from his wife of 28 years. Looking tan and relaxed, and free from the psycho-eyed intensity and unruly facial outcroppings that accompanied his precipitous drop from the public’s good graces, Gibson was impressively forthcoming with his thoughts on the matter: “Look. When it’s all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself,” he bluntly admitted. “I’m to blame. If you’re inclined to judge, put it here.”
Emboldened by his guest’s candor, Leno pressed further, demanding to know more about the comely Slavic succubus seen on Gibson’s arm at a recent Hollywood premiere. After dispelling rumors that the woman in question, Oksana Grigorieva, was a special delivery from the Barely Legal section of popular online mail-order-bride service AnastasiaDate.com, Gibson extolled his new girlfriend’s musical gifts, before confirming that he had indeed, as they say in the Motherland, plopped a boiled potato in her borscht. This will be his eighth child, but the first to suckle from the sweet mother’s milk of his new, sugartitted baby mama.

Yes, Oksana is very musically inclined... she can play the skin flute and whistle all the way down to the paternity lawyer's office.

Wow.
I gues this just goes to show that a guy can can clean up, sober up and straighten up, and yet still--still!--be a complete douchebag.

He's a great actor and a great director. Who he impregnates or who he racially/religiously insults is not my business, your business, or anyone's business but his own.
