娱乐英语新闻:Mel Gibson not heading Australia

BEIJING, July 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Mel Gibson's rep Alan Nierob confirms that Gibson is planning on staying put in the U.S. and not heading for Australia, media reported Monday.

On Sunday, the Daily Mail reported that Gibson was planning a move to Australia with his soon-to-be ex-wife Robyn.

Gibson, who is in a bitter custody dispute with his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva and is believed to be the man threatening Grigorieva on leaked tapes, is continuing to work amid the controversy, according to MSNbc.

Actor Mel Gibson (R) and Oksana Grigorieva pose during the Spanish premiere of the film "Edge of Darkness" in Madrid February 1, 2010.

His rep also confirmed that Gibson is working on his upcoming film “The Beaver” which is co-starred and directed by Jodie Foster.

A tape recording of rant apparently between Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend in angry tirades was made public by celebrity website RadarOnline last Tuesday.
