To say that Mel Gibson is not the most popular guy in Hollywood at the moment would be something of an understatement. The star of theupcoming flick "The Beaver" has been the center of public scrutiny ever since his infamous 2006 DUI and, more recently, those shocking audiotapes and disturbing accusations of domestic violence and anti-Semitism.
However, it seems that Gibson (who, along with other stars, was mocked in Ricky Gervais' opening monologue at this year's Golden Globes) still has a few friends sticking by his side. When MTV News caught up with Gibson's "Lethal Weapon" co-star Danny Glover at the Sundance Film
Festival on Friday, the actor had nothing but nice things to say about his pal.
Glover (who was in Park City to promote his movie "Black Power Mixtape") said of Gibson, "I love Mel. That's my friend." Glover also shared that he and Gibson (who he called "a very generous man" who is "always searching for meaning in his life") have been in touch over this last tumultuous year and that at a recent memorial in Los Angeles, "We ran up and hugged each other."

With the recent news of a remake in the works, "Lethal Weapon" fans may be excited about the return of cop buddies Riggs and Murtaugh to the big screen, but there's one person who may be hesitant to see it redone: its original star Danny Glover.
Glover received word about the franchise reboot when MTV News caught up with him at the Sundance Film Festival. The actor responded to the news by quoting his "Lethal Weapon" character Murtaugh, by telling us, "I'm too old for this!"
But it wasn't just time passed that Glover worried about the reboots. The star cited his co-star Mel Gibson ("I love Mel. Mel's my friend" he said of the troubled actor) and their director for all four "Lethal Weapon" films, Richard Donner, for the success and "magic" in the original movies. Read More...

Bella's father is going from Team Jacob to Team Save the McGregor Library. Following his reprisal of the character Charlie Swan in this fall's "Twilight," sequel "New Moon," actor Billy Burke will appear in a little, charitable film titled "Highland Park," according to a report in Variety. Shooting is already underway in Michigan, with Danny Glover and Parker Posey starring.
The movie will tell a fictional story about a group of high school faculty members who help save their community library after a teacher (Glover) wins the lottery and uses his winnings for the building's preservation. Although the feature won't be based on a true story, the library in the film is a real one, and it actually does need saving. In fact, proceeds from ticket sales for "Highland Park" will be going to its real-life renovations. Read More...

Here's one franchise that, thankfully, won't be making a return long past its welcome. The Internet has been buzzing for weeks over a fifth installment of "Lethal Weapon," most of the excitement centered on the fact that Shane Black had penned the script. Black wrote the first two installments, which are generally agreed to be the best of the four, and was producer Joel Silver's pick to direct a fifth film. All was dependent on Mel Gibson's approval.
And he won't be giving it. Geoff Boucher caught up with Richard Donner, who reports that Gibson has refused to return for a fifth installment. Read More...
