Jodie Foster: Mel Gibson Is "The Most Loved Man In The Film Business"
Posted on Tue Oct 19, 2010 08:50 AM PDT
Jodie Foster is once again sticking up for her longtime friend Mel Gibson, calling him "the most loved man in the film business."
At the 17th Annual Elle Women In Hollywood event at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills last night, Jodie not only gushed about her "love"ly friend, but confirmed his cameo in the upcoming The Hangover 2.
"He really liked the humor in that first movie so I'm glad he'll be in it," Foster told Extra at the event.
Jodie then admitted that Mel was going through a "rough time," with his ongoing custody dispute with baby mama Oksana Grigorieva, but at least he still has one thing going for him. "He is incredibly loved by everyone that's ever come into contact with him or works with him. He is truly the most loved man in the film business, so, hopefully that stands for something."
He may be loved by studio executives, but I think the public perceives him a little differently. So they may no longer love him if that starts to affect their box office draws!
Wow, she's really standing by her man!

Lesbian whore.
Ever since Mel Gibson got into all the self righteous religion stuff he started going crackers, happens every time! Mel is also barking mad because women don't fancy him anymore...
The hate started when he made "Passion of the Christ". God forbid, you talk about Jews and blacks. It's ok to diss the Catholic church just don't mess with the other 2! His ex sounds like a gold digger and yes mel is having a hard time but he has talent and fans so he will bounce back. people need to worry about their own lives and stop caring what celebs do.
He turned out to be an awful human being and a total hyppocrate to boot.
Whoring around while playing the devout religious family man turned a lot of people off.
Jodie Foster is a jackass...
She looks terrible.
Eating pu$$y sure makes women ugly.
That will be Lindsay Lohan in another 10 years, minus the talent.
Religion makes people crazy, what else is new.
First it starts with being religiously preoccupied.
Then the person thinks God send them person messages.
Next God "tells" them they should have more than one wife.
Finally, they try to start a new religious movement with other,equally deluded people.
9:14 your kidding right...you came on a site that REVOLVES around celebrities, and your telling people to stop caring about what celebrities do...CLASSIC...BTW...he may have fans but talent, naw.... I gotta disagree with ya on that one!
Foster is not getting plump roles any longer, so she has nothing to lose by speaking out now.
Besides, she always plays the same angry dyke in every one of her movies.
Beloved? Nope.
Anyone who heard him rant on those tapes realizes what a psycho this man has turned into.
Those hollywood types must have a soft spot for haterz...oh, thats right, as long as you bring in the $$ for the jews, you are golden. Beat women, drive drunk, be a total asshat. That Mel, he is fantastic, isn't he? Dear Jodie--why don't you let him knock your front teeth out in a blind drunken rage, and then I'll listen to what you have to say about your dear dear friend. You disgust me.
I find it interesting that Jodie Foster is the only celebrity that has even dared to speak openly about Gibson. If he's truly the "most loved man in the film business" wouldn't you think others would be standing in line to show their support? The ugly truth is that he's toxic, crazy, and completely unbankable. A bad combination if you're in Hollywood.
what planet is she on? These hollywood skeezers have their heads so far up their own azzes, they can't even see the light of day. Boggles the mind!
She should be ashamed of herself for supporting a man that is a woman abuser!!
Strong words coming from someone accused of bullying a pre-teen.
Can't watch him anymore......
oksana, there is only so many anonymous posts your allowed from your url
team mel
Well she said it correct, the entertainment business likes Mel, not the public! If I was Jodie I would stick to NOT committing on Mel in public.
