Haven't heard it online but caught a bit of it on TV....he's aging - getting worried that what he's done in the past might happen to him?

I think he's on something Lux or if not, he should be ... I think she is a gold-digger and has probably set him up, but no-one deserves the sort of treatment he's dishing out.
He left his wife of 30 years and entered into a very unhealthy (by the sounds of it) relationship. Yegads. I hope he is in therapy.

And ... there's more!
Mel Gibson threatened to burn down the house after railing at his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva on the phone for falling asleep before sex, according to a fourth tape a US website claims to have acquired.
The Hollywood star, famed for Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ, is allegedly heard on the expletive-filled tape released by RadarOnline.com ranting at Grigorieva for sleeping before they were about to go into a jacuzzi.
"I should've woken you up and said f---ing blow me bitch! I should've f---in' woken you up and said blow me! You would've liked that better, yeah? But you need the g--amn sleep!"
The 54-year-old then allegedly rips into Grigorieva, saying he'll burn the house down.
"I deserve to be blown first! Before the f---ing jacuzzi! Ok, I'll burn the goddamn house up, but blow me first! How dare you?"
In another twist, he slams the Russian musician for asking for the number of his therapist, telling her to "find your own goddamn therapist! Because you've got problems more than me!".
He then tells the 40-year-old that he "can't get like this anymore" and that she "push[ed] my f---ing buttons".
"You gotta push my f---ing buttons. And it's not going to work with us! It's not! I can't get like this anymore! And you know you're doing it and you're a liar and you're dishonest and you're f ---ed up! So you stay the f--- away from me! Take care of your f---ing son and I better have my daughter!"
The new audio came as actress Whoopi Goldberg defended the Australian-born actor, saying on the US talk show The View that he was not a racist, as the tapes appeared to show.
"I don't like what he did here, but I know Mel and I know he's not a racist," the Daily Mail reported Goldberg as saying.
"He may be a bonehead. I can't sit and say that he's a racist, having spent time with him in my house with my kids."
She also criticised Grigorieva for releasing the tapes online.
"If someone is kicking your behind and punching you while you're holding your kid, you don't go to the cops first? You go to RadarOnline?" she asked.
Viewers expressed anger at her comments, but Goldberg defended them, saying that while she did not condone Gibson's actions, she stood by her comments that he was not racist.
"I do believe had you actually watched the show, you would have heard me specifically say I don't condone this. I don't think it's right, I don't think this is smart, but here is the piece of information I have, my experience, this (Gibson) is not a racist," she said on The View.
"Now, being a black woman, you would think I'd be able to feel if I was around a racist."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said last week that Gibson was being investigated over a possible domestic violence incident involving Grigorieva.

And there's new developments ...
Experts say Gibson tapes fabricated
Sydney Morning Herald Last updated 14:07 16/07/2010
Experts have cast doubt on the authenticity of tapes on which Mel Gibson apparently abuses his former partner.
The Mel Gibson tape saga has taken a new twist with claims that the recordings were fabricated emerging as the actor's soon-to-be ex-wife of 28 years comes out in support for him.
Gibson, 54, allegedly spews a torrent of abuse on the tapes at his estranged partner, Oksana Grigorieva.
But experts have cast doubt on the tapes' authenticity.
Creative Forensic Services chief Arlo West, who has worked on a number of high profile crimes in the United States, says the recordings are of "extraordinary" quality and appear to have been made using a professional-standard microphone.
"In the tapes themselves there are several things that would raise a red flag as an expert," Mr West told Good Morning America.
"I found gaps, transients and fades. All three of these things would be considered in authenticating the audio itself."
Gibson and Grigorieva are locked in a bitter legal battle over custody of their eight-month-old daughter, Lucia.
The series of recordings were leaked during the past week to celebrity gossip website RadarOnline.com.
They allegedly feature the Oscar-winning Braveheart director using racist language to disparage a Hispanic cleaning lady.
In earlier tapes Gibson referred to black people as "niggers," called Grigorieva a "whore" and a "bitch in heat", and apparently acknowledged beating her.
While they have not been authenticated, Gibson has not issued any denial since they began surfacing on Friday.
But website TMZ reports that his lawyers are preparing to present evidence that the tapes have been tampered with.
A second expert, Frank Piazza, who worked on the Jon Benet Ramsey murder case 14 years ago, supported Mr West's assertion.
"There are redactions, things were taken out, there were obviously things people didn't want others to hear," Mr Piazza told HollywoodLife.com.
Detectives investigating Gibson for the possible domestic violence case say they have received audio recordings from a court deciding the actor-director's child custody case.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said the CDs were turned over during a closed session in the custody case.
The speculation comes as Gibson's soon-to-be ex-wife Robyn reportedly filed a declaration in support of the star.
Robyn Gibson said in the document her husband of 28 years had never physically abused her or any of their children, TMZ.com reported.
"Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage," the one-page declaration states.

She adds: "Mel was a wonderful and loving father."
Sheriff's spokesman Whitmore said detectives were working to authenticate the recordings released by the court.
He did not say how many recordings were included or how long they were.
It is unclear whether the recordings include those that have been posted by the celebrity website RadarOnline.com.
The site has posted more than 20 minutes of recordings of arguments between a man who sounds distinctly like Gibson and a woman identified by the site as Grigorieva.
Whitmore said detectives still hoped to speak to Gibson, who has not yet been interviewed.
Detectives are looking into allegations that Gibson harmed Grigorieva during a January confrontation.
He said he would not speculate on when the case would be turned over to prosecutors, who will decide whether Gibson should face criminal charges.
"It's not going to be rushed," Whitmore said.
