WTF! This is so Charlie Sheen of him...

Despite the fact that Mel Gibson got fired from doing a cameo role in The Hangover 2, the actor is still getting paid according to The National Enquirer... $750,000 bucks!

Apparently, Mel had what's known in Hollywood as a "pay or play" deal, which means he gets the money whether or not he's in the movie.

I guess part of his salary can help pay off ex Oksana $60,000 in back child support!

Meanwhile, Liam Neeson has stated that Gibson is "cool" with him taking over the role. Thank goodness for that!
