"I'm glad John Lennon is dead": Mel Gibson facing fresh outrage over rant claims
Mel Gibson, ugly Australian, religious-right celebrity .. allegedly Joe says .. Gibson says no way, not me ..
The Beatles icon was not the only target of Gibson’s attacks,
according to claims by top screenwriter Joe Eszterhas
REX .. Eszterhas and Gibson War of words: Eszterhas and Gibson
Controversial Hollywood star Mel Gibson faced fresh outrage yesterday over claims he said John Lennon deserved to die.
The astonishing allegation was made by top screenwriter Joe Eszterhas in a leaked nine-page letter to the Braveheart actor.
Eszterhas, best known for the Sharon Stone hit Basic Instinct, wrote the script for Gibson’s planned film about biblical Jewish hero Judah Maccabee.
But after his screenplay was rejected by Warner Brothers studio this week, he launched a string of attacks on Gibson, who he says sabotaged the project.
He alleges Gibson once ranted about the murdered ex-Beatle: “I’m glad he’s dead. He deserved to be shot.”
Gibson, 56, allegedly added: “He was f*****g messianic. Listen to the songs! Imagine. I hate that f*****g song,” ..
[...]
fter details of Eszterhas’ letter were revealed, Gibson hit back by saying the claims against him were “utter fabrications,” adding: “I will acknowledge like most creative people I am passionate and intense”.
And he said he was “extremely disappointed” with Eszterhas’s script, which he described as “a waste of time”.
Gibson added: “Contrary to your assertion that I was only developing Maccabees to burnish my tarnished reputation, I have been working on this project for over 10 years and it was publicly announced eight years ago.
"I absolutely want to make this movie; it’s just that neither Warner Brothers nor I want to make it based on your script.”

Mel Gibson Completes Anger Management Course
Mel Gibson has completed the anger management course he was ordered to attend as part of his sentence
for pleading no-contest to a misdemeanour battery charge against ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
Mel Gibson has completed his court-ordered anger management course. [.. ok ok 4/4 .. we get the message..]
The 'Mad Max' star was sentenced in March 2011 to three years' probation - including a 12-month domestic violence counselling programme - over an alleged attack on ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.
According to TMZ.com, the 56-year-old Oscar winner's lawyer told Los Angeles judge Stephanie Sautner yesterday (02.03.12) that in addition to completing the required course hours, Mel has also undergone extra therapy sessions.
Although the actor was not present, the report claims the father-of-eight - who also had to carry out 16 hours of community service after pleading no-contest to the misdemeanour battery charge - will be officially released from probation if he stays out of trouble for the next two years.
The case began when Oksana alleged he hit her with a closed fist and broke a veneer on her tooth during a row in January 2010. Mel admitted to slapping her but said he did it because she was ''shaking and tossing'' their then-baby daughter Lucia around whilst arguing. He maintains that he did not punch her.
The 'Braveheart' director was previously married to Robyn Moore for 26-years before they separated in 2006.
