There will be no hugging it out, bitch. Ari Emmanuel, immortalized by Jeremy Piven's Ari Gold on Entourage, has some strong opinions on the Mel GibsonGate. According to Fox411:
"... some people in Hollywood are already stepping up to the plate and criticizing Gibson for what he�s done.
"Ari Emanuel, the star agent at Endeavor, has already called for a boycott of working with Gibson until this entire scandal is sorted out. Bravo!
"Integrity is in short supply in the film business. It takes guts for Emanuel to take this position."

yeah yeah - sure it "takes guts" to comment on an alcholic actor, off his gourd, making extreme statements that are anti-semitic.
While on this moral crusade, how about letting us all in on the other statements being made by top executives and producers along the same type of derisive, ignorant lines (without the excuse of being alcoholic and drunk) - or do we have to always wait for one of the tell-all bios of Hollywood execs and studios to come out a decade or so later.
Bush and his extreme religious policies, his cohorts of morals like Abramhoff with his er.."zeal" for Israel rather than Native Americans, there is and endless list of people who should be extremely taken to task.
But a drunk Mel Gibson is just an example of alcholism and the depravity it brings up from within when it is out of control.
If someone was worried about it as a policy in Gibsons film, then shouldnt they have already lectured him with his Passion film? Oh, that made money didnt it...
Maybe it takes more guts to really comment: show by example how to rise above and turn the proverbial cheek, and show the upper hand by confirming the understanding for the disease.
Unless of course, one is confusing moral goodness for milking the incident for personal press-face time - and thus commenting only on the symptoms of the disease.
Hollywood agents shouldnt speak basically.
Where was he when Mel was becoming famous, since at least a decade, for his outspoken anti-gay positions?
