Miserable Mel And The Russian Mysteries

No, it’s not the title of the latest JK Rowling story (although we think we could be onto a winner there). But Mel Gibson – snapped looking wild-haired and depressed on the beach in Costa Rica - is currently embroiled in a confusing rumor-mill overload that sees practically every Russian woman called Oksana being linked to him. Today sees Oksana Grigorieva, the former partner of 1980s James Bond Timothy Dalton being accused of being the mystery brunette photographed on the beach with him. This comes after pop singer Oksana Pochepa posed semi-nude to speak of her “relationship” with the divorcing star and married pianist Oksana Kolesnikova, who has put out a statement denying any “relationship ties” with Mel. We never thought we’d say this, but as his divorce turns into a global farce, we’re starting to feel a little bit sorry for Mel Gibson. Only a little bit. [Photo: AFP]
