Angry Mel Gibson is back -- and he just might be angry enough to sue “The Maccabees” screenwriter Joe Ezsterhas for releasing a recording of a rant that went down in December at the actor’s Costa Rica home. Sources “connected with Mel” told TMZ that Gibson believes he has a basic right not to be secretly recorded in his own home. Meanwhile, the actor’s new film “Get the Gringo” is going to video on demand after a one-night theatrical run. But even the screening was not without drama, as Gibson tried to joke about one of the filmmakers with the line “Funny, you don’t look Jewish,” eliciting groans from the audience.

“LOL” was supposed to represent a big step for Miley Cyrus’ movie career as she attempts to mature beyond Disney’s Hannah Montana. Instead, it has turned into a tough lesson about how quickly a Hollywood studio can fall out of love with a movie.
