Who Will “Get” Mel?

By Brian 

Mel Gibson “has no plans for any TV interviews ‘anytime soon,'” Nikki Finke says. So who will get Gibson’s “first on-camera mea culpa,” whenever that may be? She speculates: “Well, ABC canceled his Holocaust TV miniseries, so they’re probably out of the running… Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly has boasted repeatedly how the movie rights to one of his books was optioned by Gibson, so that could be a factor for The Factor. (Already, Bill’s doing the “Has It Been Fair Coverage?” angle.) A Mel and CNN’s Anderson Cooper pairing would end up as the battle of blue eyes… But my best guess is Gibson will go for the global, so the softest of softball questioners Larry King it is.”
