The good news? This’ll end up inspiring a classic “South Park,” not to mention a million amateur techno mash-ups on YouTube. The horrifying news? When he threatens to take a bat to her skull and then plant her in a rose garden, you’ll fully believe he’s capable of it. It’s that bad. I don’t know what his damage is — the last time he went nuts he blamed it on booze, although his speech here sure doesn’t sound slurred — but after eight minutes of profane rage, it’s clear that Grigorieva’s right about him needing medication. Look out for the snippet along the way when he complains about feeling no spiritual connection with his ex-wife. Really, Mad Max? The ex wasn’t into burying people in rose gardens?

This guy’s career is now the least of his worries, but for the record, his new flick with Jodie Foster is naturally in big trouble. Which is too bad, because if ever there was an opportune moment for a movie about Mel Gibson dealing with his issues with women in a palpably insane manner, this is it. Exit question: Who would have guessed five years ago that Tom Cruise would end up as the comparatively sane, sober one among Hollywood’s A-list leading men? Click the image to listen.
