One daughter, Hannah (1980), and six sons, Edward (1982), Christian (1982), William (1985), Louis (1988), Milo (1990), and Thomas (1999). Mel and Robyn separated 0n July 29, 2006. Three years after their separation, Robyn filed for divorce on April 13, 2009 and cited irreconcilable differences. The divorce filing happened a month after Mel was spotted with Russian pianist Oksana Grigorieva. Mel’s divorce from Robyn was finalized on Dec. 23, 2011. It was reported that the settlement with his ex-wife was the highest in Hollywood at over $400 million. While the divorce from his first marriage was in the works, Mel and Oksana had a daughter, Lucia, born in 2009. In April 2010, Mel and Oksana had split. Once they went their separate ways, Oksana claimed she had a domestic violence incident with Mel, which sparked an investigation with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. During that controversy, his estranged ex-wife had to file a court document stating she never endured any violence from her ex-husband during their time together. In Aug. 2011, Mel eventually settled with Oksana and she was awarded $750,000, joint legal custody and a house in Sherman Oaks, Calif. until their daughter Lucia turns 18. In 2015, it is being reported that Mel got his 24-year-old girlfriend, Rosalind Ross, pregnant with his ninth child.

Actress Lindsay Lohan escorted by Los Angeles County Sheriff Deputies arrives for a mandatory court appearance before a judge who revoked her probation earlier this week at Beverly Hills Courthouse on September 24, 2010 in Beverly Hills, California. Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox issued a bench warrant for the actress who as on is probation for a pair of driving under the influence cases.

Russ Says: I Was At The Scene Of The Crime When Lindsay Lohan Got Sent To Jail – And It Was NUTS!

I was waiting outside the Beverly Hills Court House Sept. 24 to see the results of Lindsay’s court appearance – and it was complete pandemonium!

What better way to start my Friday than by watching Lindsay Lohan go to jail? Well, yeah, that sucked – but her weekend is going to be way worse than what I KNOW she had planned (partying, cocaine, making out with random guys in dark corners) – she’s going to jail for 28 days without a prayer of getting out early!

Mel’s Rage-Filled Text Messages To Oksana Have Surfaced — And Experts Say He’s Abusive No Matter How Much She Antagonized Him!

Two new reports claim that Mel Gibson was abusive — reiterating many of YOUR opinions that his actions are abusive and unforgivable

An unlikely Mel Gibson ally surfaced last week when one HollywoodLife.com reader, Karen, reached out to me, explaining that as a former victim of domestic abuse, she found Mel Gibson’s estranged girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, to be in the wrong.
