Raw,
They were married for 28 years so if they phucked every night 10000 fucks would certainly be possible. They do have 7 Ch*ldren together. However, as most of us know, the frequency of marital sex is usually inversely related to the length of marriage. As newlyweds they MIGHT have phucked like rabbits multiple times per day, but after a very short time that goes down to once a day, once a week, once a month, even not at all. I wouldn't be surprised if the number was less than 500 times (twice per month) over the last 20 years.
Jazzbo,
According to TMZ -"Sources tell us there is no prenuptial agreement -- they were married in 1980, before Mel Gibson amassed a fortune estimated at $900 million back in 2006. Under the laws of California, community property -- which includes earnings -- is divided 50/50." Naturally, his soon to be gringa ex is going beyond that by asking for Mel to pay her attorney's fee and spousal support. I guess $450M does not leave her enough to live on, she needs monthly payments too. Of course, Mel is going to contest that part, but it seems clear he's going to get reamed on this one. Again, according to TMZ "If there is a fight, Robyn is in good hands -- she's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser, who has handled divorces for the likes of Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and Stevie Wonder." "Gibson is repped by prominent divorce lawyer Robert Kaufman, whose celeb clients include Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson and Reese Witherspoon."
BTW, I thought "Apocalypto" was a pretty good movie, even though it was done entirely in a Mayan language. It was not really about Christianity at all, but rather the violence and savagery that existed back in pre-colombian times. Christians did not even appear in the movie until the final scene where you see their ships arrive in the new world and hint that the trials faced by the film's hero, a noble indian named Jaguar Paw, were not over. Now Gibson's earlier film, "The Passions of the Christ", certainly was a moralistic hyper-Christian flick (which interestingly was done entirely in Aramaic, Latin and Hebrew).
VegasBob,
I'm sure his romp in CR didn't help matters (BTW, he was also hanging around with Britney Spears on that trip), but evidently the problems go way beyond that. Again, according to TMZ, "There have been reports that Mel has been involved with another woman, which the actor denies, but we're told the reasons for the divorce go beyond any third party."
People.com quoted an unnamed source saying "the couple split three years ago, around the time of Gibson's infamous anti-Semitic rant after he was pulled over in Malibu, California, for drunken driving" (ie BEFORE his trip to CR). The exact date is significant since the 50/50 split is supposed to be AS OF the time of seperation. That $900M estimate was back in 2006 around the time of their seperation. Maybe, unlike the rest of us, Gibson's assets have grown over the last 2.5 years, but I don't believe he has done any new major movie during that time. In fact, apart from some bit parts, he hasn't been in anything major since M. Night Shyamalan's Signs (which was hardly a blockbuster) way back in 2002. But wait, it gets better. Regardless of whether his net worth has gone up or went down, she is also seeking jewelry and earnings and assets she accrued AFTER the couple separated. He could wind up with much less than half of what he's worth now (better do another Braveheart). Good luck to Mel. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy (not). I hope the anti-semitic bastard gets screwed.
