Actor Mel Gibson will pay the mother of his 22 month-old daughter $750,000 and get joint custody of the child, ending a bitter custody and financial dispute that badly damaged his Hollywood career.
A representative for Mel Gibson denied talk about the actor fathering a baby with reality-show star Laura Bellizzi, as Star reported Thursday. The buzz about Gibson supposedly getting Bellizzi pregnant, his representative insisted in a statement that appeared on the Daily Mail's website, was "complete and utter rubbish, 100 percent untrue."ReutersActor Mel Gibson attends a hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court to finalize financial issues in a custody battle with former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva In Los Angeles on August 31, 2011.
