Mel Gibson, Oksana Grigorieva Receive Offers, One Rescinded While Other Rejected

Carol Whyte
Mel Gibson made news a few days ago after being replaced by Liam Neeson for a cameo in 'Hangover 2'. Several reports state that Gibson is "furious" about the rumblings and groans from the cast who expressed their displeasure with the initial choice of Gibson in the sequel. In fact, their voices were heard when Gibson was let go almost as soon as he received the offer.

Gibson could have used the role to help rebuild a yet-again tarnished reputation that resulted from his secretly recorded rants against ex Oksana Grigorieva this past summer. Once the Hangover 2 cast expressed their misgivings about Gibson's role, the actor was quickly replaced with Liam Neeson, who also shares the same agent as Gibson.

Thus, while Gibson's offer was rescinded, Oksana Grigorieva was presented an offer of $75,000 from Playboy to pose fully nude and grace the cover of their magazine, according to TMZ.

However, within hours of that story breaking, TMZ followed up with a report that Oksana has told Playboy "no".

According to Steve Jaffe who is Oksana's PR representative, Oksana will "never" consider an offer by Playboy. Jaffe told TMZ, "Not now, not ever, nor for any amount of money, would our client, Oksana Grigorieva, even consider any offer to pose for Playboy. Someone might have sent an email to one of her representatives but that's not news."
