He's gone from sexiest man alive to the coldest person in Hollywood.
An independent film Web site has named Mel Gibson No. 1 among the "least-powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in all of Tinseltown."
Film Threat's ranking follows the anti-Semitic remarks Gibson made during his arrest on suspicion of drunken driving.
NO. 1
"He apologized, he got sick of apologizing, he refused to apologize anymore, he didn't want to address the issue, he spoke on nationally broadcast news shows, he spoke at synagogues, he met with Jewish Officials," Film Threat's editors wrote. "But in the end, in all his 'I'm really not anti-Semitic' posturing, he never bothered to address how irresponsible he was for driving under the influence in the first place. And now he's got a new movie opening, 'Apocalypto,' and the question becomes: who cares?"
SEXIEST
Gibson, 50, the star of the "Lethal Weapon" movies and director of "The Passion of the Christ," was People's sexiest man alive on the magazine's inaugural list in 1985.
THE LIST
Also among Film Threat's "Frigid 50" are Borat ("How can the top box office winner for two straight weeks be on the Frigid 50 already? Simple: There's no future for Borat."), Lindsay Lohan and the Internet phenomenon Lonelygirl15. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who topped the 2005 list, came in at No. 10. | Only registered users can write comments. Please login or register. |

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
