Mel Gibson’s “The Beaver,” which also stars and was directed by Jodie Foster, got a lot of publicity – thanks (unintentionally) to Gibson’s taped rants – but the movie still tanked at the box office.

The film opened with a limited release in 22 theaters in the country’s biggest markets, and only earned $104,000. Are you going to see “The Beaver” when it opens nationwide at a theater near you?

Mel Gibson broke his silence and spoke for the first time about a variety of subjects, including those infamous taped telephone rants directed at his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

“It’s one terribly awful moment in time, said to one person in the span of one day, and doesn’t represent what I truly believe or how I’ve treated people my entire life,” Gibson tells Deadline in a candid interview.

He claims that despite the tenor of the tapes, “I’ve never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality – period. I don’t blame some people for thinking that, though, from the garbage they heard on those leaked tapes, which have been edited.”

UPDATE: 2:30 PM -

Jodie Foster’s side presents a very different picture of the incident at The Grove.

A rep for the actress tells Gossip Cop the individual Foster confronted “was a professional paparazzi” who had a “large camera bag with 1,000 mm lens.”

As for the nature of their interaction, Foster’s camp claims the alleged paparazzo “tailed her from the movie theater to the parking lot, crowding her and taking pictures of her and [her] kids the whole way.”
