Don’t you hate when your parents try to be cool and get on MySpace? Mel Gibson’s father, Hutton Gibson, famous for his crackpot Catholicism and his doubts about the historicity of the Holocaust, has reportedly erected his own page on the social networking site (or “A Space for Friends”).

Since then, Hogan and his wife have divorced each other and coped separately with Nick’s eight month jail…
