Mel Gibson Has Britney, Whoopi on His Side

In between spewing rants against Jews and blacks, Mel Gibson lent a helping hand to Britney Spears when she was undergoing her last public breakdown a couple of years ago.

So now comes the speculation — will the pop tart return the favor and help the hatemonger?

I don’t see why not, considering it would help take her mind off Lady Gaga‘s success.

Meanwhile, Mel’s also got Whoopi Goldberg watching his prickly back; the mouthy funny lady swears that he’s not a racist at all, just “an asshole,” “a drunk,” and “a bonehead.”

That is so sweet!
