Just one day after it was announced that he’d landed a post-scandal job,Mel Gibson has been pulled from the “Hangover 2” lineup.

Of the situation, Director Todd Phillips released a statement confirming that the “Lethal Weapon” actor’s cameo has been scrapped from the movie’s plans.

“I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of [Warner Bros. president] Jeff Robinov and his team,” Phillips told in a statement.

He adds, “But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew.”

Looking as if the rumors were actually true, breaking reports are once again claiming that Mel Gibson is expecting a child with his new love, Oksana Grigorieva.

With the National Enquirer first reporting the baby-on-the-way a little over a week ago, TMZ is backing up the rumors – telling that Oksana, 39, is in her second trimester with the couple’s first child together.

As previously reported, the Enquirer’s source said: “In late April, Mel gathered his children at the family home in Malibu and broke the news that Oksana is pregnant, and he expects them to accept the baby as a new sibling.”

“They are quite upset,” the insider continued. “Even though Mel assured them the pregnancy was unplanned, they’re furious with him and say they’re going to take steps to protect their inheritance, which they feel is in jeopardy.”

Not long after making his first red carpet appearance alongside his new lady, tabloid rumors tell that Mel Gibson has impregnated his Russian girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva.

According to the National Enquirer, the “Lethal Weapon” hunk announced the big news to his grown children from his previous marriage with now ex-wife, Robyn – explaining that his 39-year-old lover is three months along.

“In late April, Mel gathered his children at the family home in Malibu and broke the news that Oksana is pregnant, and he expects them to accept the baby as a new sibling,” the National Enquirer’s source alleges.

“They are quite upset,” the insider continued. “Even though Mel assured them the pregnancy was unplanned, they’re furious with him and say they’re going to take steps to protect their inheritance, which they feel is in jeopardy.”
