Alec Baldwin knows his way around a rage outburst, so maybe we shouldn’t be too surprised by this, but: Baldwin tells Vanity Fair that he recently invited Mel Gibson to be a guest on his biweekly WNYC podcast “Here’s the Thing.” “I said, ‘Mel, this isn’t about regurgitating. You’re one of the greatest movie stars of your generation and you were one of the most successful directors in this business and you won the Academy Award. And the only thing I want to ask you about the travails in your life is: What did you learn?’” Yes, what has Mel Gibson learned, other than that Joe Eszterhas can really crank out a Kindle single?
