Mel Gibson’s Baby Mama Attending Sunday School at His Church

Mel Gibson is in the process of building a huge 9,000 square foot chapel on his property in Agoura Hills, Calif., and his concubine Oksana is reportedly taking classes to learn the teachings of his ultra-conservative Catholic sect:

“This is Mel’s dream church and the center of his world,” an insider told the Enquirer. “He’s a devout traditionalist Catholic and views the chapel as his own house of worship where he can pray privately with family and friends.”

Oksana – who gave birth to Mel’s eighth child, daughter Lucia, on Oct. 30 – is taking catechism classes at the church, according to the insider.

“It’s important to Mel that he and Oksana are of the same faith,” the source added. “She’s learning the doctrines and traditions of his conservative sect.”

Gibson financed the chapel’s construction, and Lucia will soon be baptized there, said the insider.

The chapel’s crowning glory is the huge mural behind the altar.

“Mel handpicked an artist to paint a modern interpretation of the ascension of Christ,” said the insider. “He’s also commissioned someone to cast a bell for the church tower. Mel says he is more proud of his church than any of his other achievements.”

Do you suppose “thou shalt not turn your back on 29 years of marriage” is one of the teachings? Probably not.

Madonna Pegged a ‘Relationship Expert’ on The Marriage Ref

Last night, Madonna appeared on Jerry Seinfeld’s new NBC show The Marriage Ref, a show where celebrities offer their commentary on how real-life couples should solve their marital squabbles. She told one wife not to withhold sex from her husband just because he wouldn’t clean the basement, and suggested to a widow that she get rid of her late husband’s prosthetic leg to spare the feelings of her new beau.

If you’d think to question why Her Madgesty would qualify to give anyone advice on marriage, you’d be wiser than the casting directors at NBC.

Madonna’s love life has been a well-chronicled series of public failures. From her first divorce in 1989 from Sean Penn to her 2009 divorce from Guy Ritchie, the woman has spent nary a minute not wrecking marriages over the past 25 years — her own or others’.

She seems to have a thing for baseball players: José Canseco says Madonna offered him money to leave his wife for her in 1991, and Alex Rodriguez’s wife left him in 2008 claiming Madonna was a homewrecker.

But this is a show by Jerry Seinfeld we’re talking about, a man who poached his wife from another man not three months after they returned from their honeymoon. Any real marriage referee would call foul on that one.

Anthony Bourdain’s Delicious Second Helping of Hypocrisy

Anthony Bourdain, the chain-smoking bad boy of the Travel Channel’s Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, has a few choice words for all you food bloggers out there: Just eat it.

Apparently, despite Bourdain making a fortune as well as a name for himself trotting all over the globe documenting and analyzing all manner of foodstuffs, there’s something really wrong with bloggers who do exactly the same thing — only with smaller cameras and thinner budgets.

Confused? Me too.

In last Monday’s episode of No Reservations, Bourdain tags along with several food fanatics/bloggers including eGullet’s Jason Perlow and Steven Shaw, and Opinionated About Dining’s Steven Plotnicki. Gawker’s Mike Byhoff reports:

[In the episode] Bourdain claims that these three men are so obsessed with food, it’s come to the point of disillusionment about what food actually means. And in the middle the interviews with the each blogger, they each took out their cameras to photograph the food. This is where Bourdain, for some reason, berated them. He voiced serious disapproval when it comes to taking pictures of their food for the purposes of posting those photos to their blog.

Now you’d think Bourdain would be able to appreciate the passion these fellow food-fixators have for their subject matter. After all, this guy is seriously food-obsessed. You’d have to be to subject yourself to consuming such unfathomable dishes as unwashed warthog rectum and fermented shark. Or crazy. Or on drugs. Or both.

But apparently while it’s cool for Bourdain to scrutinize the exotic cuisine of cultures around the world while his Travel Channel camera crew documents each and every delicious or disgusting bite, when food bloggers do it (with their little notebooks and digital cameras), the process is suddenly akin to “keeping a diary while having sex,” as he put it.

Miley Cyrus Is Totes Deeper Than You

Miley Cyrus’s ego must have recently hit a growth spurt. Otherwise I can’t explain this:

While filming The Last Song on Georgia’s Tybee Island last year, Miley Cyrus couldn’t help but fall for her costar Liam Hemsworth. (On the Oscars red carpet Sunday, Cyrus, 17, confirmed that she and Hemsworth, 19, are dating and that “maybe” she’s in love.)

“He definitely showed chivalry,” she tells Teen Vogue. “I remember him opening the door for the director and I was like, Wow.”

“Working with Miley was a alot easier than I thought it was going to be,” Hemsworth admits to the magazine. “From the first time we [met], It was like I had known her before.”

His famous girlfriend adds, “I think we’re both deeper than normal people–what they think and how they feel.”

So, fellow normal people, what do we have to say about that? Shall we remind her about how she was so excited to be back in Nashville last year for the Hannah Montana movie, because she needed to get in touch with her roots?

The 16-year-old actress and singer reconnected with her Southern roots for the filming of “Hannah Montana: The Movie.” Traveling to Tennessee to shoot the movie, Cyrus said, helped keep her grounded.

“It actually gave me time to relax, and it was when my career was just starting to take off … when I was just starting to travel,” Cyrus said. “It was at a time when I needed to go back home and it couldn’t have been more of a perfect time.”

And finally, how many more movies are going to be made based on Nicholas Sparks novels? I know The Notebook was a huge sleeper hit, but we were just subjected to that other one a month ago and there’s only so much schlock I can take in a year.

Déjà Screw: ABC Rejects Ad by Dating Website for Marrieds

YouTube Preview Image

Television advertising hypocrisy isn’t limited to CBS, it turns out. It’s an equal-opportunity affliction.

AdWeek.com is reporting that the Oscars organizers at ABC rejected the above ad from AshleyMadison.com, a dating website that targets infidelity-minded married men, because cheating on your spouse is bad. I love it when Hollywood gets all moral on us.

Let’s review some of the nominated films at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, shall we? (Spoilers lie within.)

Jon Gosselin and the Angry Inch

That pinnacle of journalism Life & Style magazine is reporting that Playgirl has offered dad-of-eight Jon Gosselin $20,000 to reveal his Little Jon in a centerfold:

If Playgirl ever asks Jon Gosselin, 32, to pose nude, he may be a little insulted by the offer. “We discussed it, and we’d offer him only $20,000,” Playgirl rep Daniel Nardicio tells Life & Style exclusively. “His star is extinguishing, and he’s not very [well endowed]” — as Jon’s exes Hailey Glassman and Kate Major both recently revealed. “Honestly,” says Nardicio, “it’d be more of a novelty than an actual sexy shoot.”

But since no one thought to ask Jon for a comment and he can’t afford a publicist anymore, he offered this on Twitter:

So wait. Is he saying he would never stoop so low, or no one has asked him yet? ‘Cause for a minute there, it sounds like he’s about to make a moral argument about how his good Christian values would preclude him from doing such a thing, but then he gets all “your people haven’t called my people to work this shiz out.” Maybe he realizes that twenty grand can buy a whole lot of Ed Hardy.

PETA’s Newest Model Dave Navarro Gives Treats in Tweets

I think new “Ink, Not Mink” PETA model, Jane’s Addiction’s Dave Navarro, is confused.

Yesterday, his PETA campaign debuted. Last night, Navarro went on to perform wearing leather…on his guitar strap…his belt….his shoes.

In fact, he busted himself by tweeting the picture to the right. Consider him yet another manimal celebrity who thinks fur comes from animals and leather comes from the leather tree.

Not only that, but here’s what he once had to say about falling in love with Carmen Electra:

“She had on this white fur coat, her hair down, and her eyes pierced my heart from 20 feet away. The first thing I did was buy her 1,200 pairs of sunglasses to cover up those eyes. I couldn’t risk anyone else having the same reaction.”

So Dave Navarro falls in love with Ms. Electra over a fur coat? Now he’s “reformed” and all that, but he still wears leather? Worst PETA spokesperson ever.

According to Navarro, it was “several years ago” when he saw the footage that affected him so deeply.  Then why did it take him “several years” to sort out his feelings. Perhaps he just needs some attention, and gettin’ naked for PETA is one way to do that.

Want a few more images of Navarro rocking the leather from his concert last night? Click on the jump.

The Two Faces of Brazilian Television Standards

Courtesy of Celebritology comes a study in what’s acceptable for primetime television in Brazil.

The first contender? A Schincariol beer ad starring Paris Hilton slutting it up that has been criticized by the Brazilian government:

It’s confirmed: Paris Hilton is too hot for Brazil.

A sultry beer ad featuring the socialite has been pulled after consumer complaints and a watchdog agency’s investigation.

The television and Internet ad featured Hilton in a short black dress preening and rubbing a can of Devassa beer on herself, all to the delight of onlookers watching through her window.

Brewer Schincariol said in a statement Tuesday it will defend the commercial, but is pulling it in the meantime.

An ad watchdog group, Conar, asked last week that the ad be removed, noting that regulations don’t permit a beer commercial to treat women as overtly sensual objects. Brazil’s Secretariat for Women’s Affairs also said it had received complaints about the ad.

Color me surprised how the land that inspired the Brazilian wax is suddenly not comfortable with ads that treat women in a sexual manner. Little girls, on the other hand…

Yes, that’s a eight-year-old girl gyrating to Lady Gaga sans pants on a Brazilian television talent show. And not even a woof from the watchdogs?

I mean, at least you expect it from Paris.

Let’s Volunteer!

That guy your mom thought was totally hot 25 years ago? He’s touring again! And while your parents are totally “rocking out” to some of the most cliched, crappy-ass “rock” music released in the 80’s (imagine mom cranking the devil horns in her awesome tan-colored capris), they’ll get to sit though some commercials urging them to volunteer for stuff! Yay!

Blah, blah, blah promote Barack Obama’s service initiative “United We Serve” in a video to run at 30 concert venues in the U.S…  Here’s Jon Bon Jovi. Seriously:

“We can tackle the tough challenges we face and build community through service and volunteering, The reality is, we’re all in this together.”

In an interview someone asked Jon what he was passionate about besides steel horses, rockin’ out,  and control-top spandex.

“For me it’s affordable housing,” Bon Jovi said. “For you it may be something else. [Ed: Me? It's my love of dance.] But all these little bits make for one greater sum of the parts. It’ll make for a better whole.”

That’s gonna be great. Because I love spending a lot of money on tickets for stuff, and then getting yelled at to do things I’m guessing Jon doesn’t actually do himself. Gotta protect those golden fingers you know.

Someone Club Pamela, Please

Pamela Anderson sent a letter to the King of Canada, or whoever is in charge up there, asking to end his nation’s apparently never-ending seal hunt.

Actually, Pammy sent a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper by putting it in a mailbox in front of the offices of the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Does she even know if he works there?

She also said she planned on dropping her car off at the post office because she said it needed a tune up.

The plasticine troll who has starred in at least two sex tapes, was at one time married to or involved with at least two members of two of the worst bands of the early and late 1980s, and starred in such Hollywood classics as “Barb Wire” and “Baywatch.” This is the silicone-for-brains who’s calling seal hunters “an embarrassment to Canada.”

Oh look! A leather purse! Anyway, her letter continues on about something having to do with sea ice and poutine, and how seal pups don’t have anywhere to give birth now that there are so many doughnut shops lining the Atlantic coast.

Says Anderson:

The absence of this birthing habitat will have dangerous consequences for the entire harp-seal population. Without ice, mother seals will be forced to abort their pups in the water.

I don’t know much about ice, and I have no idea what the connection is between this and killing seals for their skins. But I do know that sealskin coats are warm as hell. Nanook was no dummy.

And I also know that if you use square ice cubes in your glass, they won’t cling to the sides like the half circle ones will (thereby leaving more room for scotch). Maybe that’s what she meant.

I did become distracted searching Deceiver’s archives looking for stories involving Pamela’s hypocrisy involving seals, a steakhouseand fur coats.

The list is almost endless. I stopped counting after eight. This is getting too easy with this idiot. Writing Deceiver stories about Pamela Anderson is as easy as clubbing a baby seal. Just not quite as messy.
