Good I am glad he is taking a stance on this

funny...

Racism not matter what form should not be tolerated

yes. maybe i'll take out an ad too.

hahahaha.....that's just funny. I don't know whether to applaud Rob Schneider or to groan because he clearly is milking this for publicity.
Incidentally, no one should blame the restaurant. They have nothing to do with it!

excuse my ignorance but who in gods name is bernie brillstein?

Ohh ok big deal next topic please. Will lindsay please do something stupid again so ppl will stop talking about this.

LMAO! Good stuff!

I love Rob Schneider, and this is funny. If he would have printed something like this 2 weeks ago, Mel would have had him blacklisted, but now, he's fair game like everyone else. Don't you just love a Hollywood scandal?

I'm groaning here, what a publicity wh*re.
According to IMDB, Brillstien is a producer.

thx jinx!

No problem, I'd never heard of him either.

this is dumb.

Is this really real?

so i googled brillstein and gibson and came up with this article: http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/category/la-times/ sucks to be mel

can you say "desperate?"

i am not sticking up for mel at all, but rob schneider... palease! What a publicity wh*re. go back to making D list movies

yeah this story is already boring me

Oh RS, you little devil! I love ya', but c'mon EVERYONE's on this wagon!

my point exactly tox!

I need somebody to explain to me how a person goes about being a 1/2 Jew.

Anyhow, FYI all, the Anti Defamation League has publicly accepted Mel's apology and pledged to help him reform (after rehab). As has the woman who Mel's former Holocaust project was about. So, happily, it turns out that lots of people believe that even Mel can reform.

Am I a horrible person that I just don't care? I haven't even been following the original drunk Mel Gibson story... oh well.

thanks for the update jenn! i cant believe you are still on here, though i have been on and off all day as well so i guess i can believe it! MWAH

Oh, girl, I just came back! I've been gone for hours. I swear!

ahhh peep! i was counting on you to do my ad with me

rob schneider who? wasn't his last movie animal man or something like that? would he ever get a chance to work with mel (pre-scandal) anyway? clearly done for publicity, but then again, what isn't (eating dinner at ivy, doing commercials, etc.) neeexxxxt!

Well Val, it HAS been a while since I've written my other open letters to Hollywood! I could give it a shot, for you.

HIlarious, I love Rob, he is very funny and i love his cheesy movies

Is this the Deuce Bigalow guy?

Yes, that brain trust.

I actually loved him on SNL. His movies are so dopey, though.

I am sorry but even though this is an obvious case of being a media slut - this is kind of genius of Rob - I would have probably never knew he had a movie coming out unless he pulled this stunt! Hill- Arious!!!

You guys are mean, but I get what you're saying. Mel is racist but he's still A-list. Rob is about C-list and the only part he would ever get in a Mel Gibson movie would be stupid loudtalker and that's only if Joe Pesci dies.

He does a good Elvis impersonation.

What Mel said is unacceptable. However, what Rob did was immature.

Rob Schneider is such a little b*tch. Not that I'm on Mel's side either, but what, pray tell, does Rob think he's doing?

He has the right to comment however he sees fit, Mel asked fr it for being anti semite racist beyotch

Bonsoir Mes amie, be good, be safe and aboce all be SEXY!

Till tomorrow
XOXOXO

Night Yayita!!

I'm actually shocked about how much this Mel Gibson story blew up. You can't get away from it even CNN won't let it go!

Mel's career has been clean, he wrote a killer apology that really did make a few true-to-life statements. I do not tollerate racism- but for someone who has behaved outstandingly throughout his career, i believe he should be given the opportunity to at least try to redeem himself.

Rob Schneider.. funny guy, allowed to have an opinion, I just hope that the rest of Hollywood doesn't turn their backs.

I'm glad he's speaking out, even if he is milking it for publicity on his new movie (which I have never heard of).

no one seems to want to let the man atone for sh*t! i thought this was Americans who the hell is rob Schneider, i hope his little publicity stunt back fires, i for one will not see any of his movies,anyone who tries to make a bad situation in to a a personal gain can kiss my butt, he sucks as an actor any way, his movies are irritating, and so is he!

Go Rob Schneider! I personally find the man repulsive but he gets some props for doing this.

i want every actor in Hollywood, Jewish or not, to do the same.

well i guess the lesson celebs will get out of this is use your money to buy your way out because taking responsibility and trying to do something about the problem is obviously not the way to go!

.."Hey Mel you know what, you said you don't like me so I dont like you either.. so there..and and guess what else? I'm not gonna play with you anymore so just to make a point I wrote you this big letter to tell you that ok. So don't bother calling me or anything. And and guess what else? I'll tell all the kids at school that your mom is fat, so there! You Jew hater!

Rob Schneider (50% Jew)

How can you be "50%" of a religion?
I understand he means that one of his parents is Jewish, but surely you're either a Jew or you're not?
Just a thought...

Good point. I always thought that Jews were a race. Course I was sheltered.

damn, adriana, for a second there, i thought you said "mAl" not "mEl"...

i was about to cry!
