MEL & BILL

Whose white limo was parked outside of the Roundhouse this afternoon? None other than actor/director/DWI defendant Mel Gibson.

Gibson, according to several Capitol employees, autographed photos of himself for several 4th Floor staffers after his visit with Gov. Bill Richardson, who also was making a rare appearance at the capitol today.

Everyone here was abuzz about it.

Well, almost everyone.

Richardson spokesman Gilbert Gallegos, contacted sometime after Mel had left the building, said he didn't know anything about it.

Maybe Gibson was here to shoot a "You drink, you drive, you lose" commercial.

UPDATE: 4:52 pm. Gilbert Gallegos just called. He said Gibson was in town on personal business and decided to come by and meet with the governor. No new movie is in the works, and no, he's not getting the job at the state Film Museum.
