The Many Women of Mel Gibson

Yes, we all know how it is exactly. When you have the A-list status in Hollywood that Mel Gibson does, and the charming debonair looks that go with it, then you will more than likely run into a few problems in the women department. The tastes that the good life has to offer can be very tempting, even for a man that has been married for almost three decades. And with wind of Mel Gibson’s wife filing for divorce, in a marriage that has accumulated $900 million dollars worth of assets, some news on details of the “irreconcilable differences” between the two is coming to a head. When the news first broke, we heard that Mel had recently been spotted in Costa Rica with a beautiful yet un-named woman. It has since come to light that the woman’s name may or may not be Oksana, and the odd part of it is that there seems to be more than one Oksana linked to Mel Gibson. Huh. Even worse, the Costa Rica vacation he took the unknown Oksana on was a family vacation with many of his 7 children in attendance, so you have to know that this split has been a long time coming. We are first told that said Oksana was a Russian singer who has signed onto Mel’s record label, Icon Records. The Oksana Grigorieva, who is 39 and former Bond star Timothy Dalton ex, has also been living in a house that is linked to Mel. The home was purchased in December 2008 and is not marital property (because that would be just TOO classless) but is owned by Icon Records, Mel’s label. We aren’t sure if this Oksana was the one in Costa Rica, but pictures do seem to show a striking resemblance to the woman seen frolicking on the coast line with Mel. Grigorieva has one son with the formerly mentioned Timothy Dalton, and the word on the street is that yes, this was the Oksana seen in Costa Rica with Mel. However, it gets a little more confusing because a total of 3 Oksana’s have been fingered in relationship with Mel. The first one was Oksana Kolesnikova, a pianist who performs at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge five nights a week, and she was spotted with Mel on numerous occasions prior to the news of the Big D. The only caveat there is that she is happily married and has been for 10 years, and is also four months pregnant. So, since we know that married people don’t cheat, she must be out of the loop. But, then there is the pregnancy thing, so maybe this was a goof on someone’s part. Mind you, Oksana Pochepa who is only 24 has also been spotted with Mel on more than one occasion. She actually wants to be seen as the one that’s the homewrecker, as she came out to British newspapers as being THE Oksana that is dating Mel Gibson. She says she’s the one that is seen in all the huggy kissy Costa Rica pictures. She says “this is serious” in terms of their relationship, and hopes it is “long lasting”. Because you know, those affairs that break up 28 year marriages and are consumed with a twenty-something girl ALWAYS last forever. But the odd part about all of that is that she looks nothing like the pictures she is claiming to be. Which brings us to Oksana number three, the Oksana Louvoushka a blonde artist who was seen in Mexico with Mel when she was filming some of her music videos. If you are confused at this point, you should be. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had something with all three of them at some point, but one can’t help but wonder. If you are going to mess around on your marriage, you may want to mix up the names a little bit. Or maybe this just makes things easier to remember for him. Who knows? As time goes on, I am sure we will get much more information. And my guess is that none of it will make Mel look exactly like the knight in shining armour many women think of him as.
