The Governator took on Mad Mel yesterday during a meeting in Sacramento, saying that while BP finally seems to have a handle on the oil spill, "no one has figured out how to contain Mel Gibson."

Taking shots at Mel during a speech to utility commissioners, the soon-to-be out of a job politician also cautioned the group to turn off their cell phones, "because we are expecting a call from him."

Who knew Arnie was such a comedian?

Gibson's spokesperson also seemed to have a sense of humor about the situation, telling the AP that Schwarzenegger is "obviously paving the way for a return to showbiz."

Oksana and Mel, however, are hardly laughing. After photos of baby Lucia with a bruise, news that Oksana was diagnosed with a concussion just two days after their alleged fight and the worst tape yet leaked this week, Mel is fighting to maintain custody of their child and Oksana is being investigated for extortion.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have settled a privacy claim against British tabloid News of the World.

The tabloid reported back in January that the celebrity couple were planning to split ... and in the process, they were making plans to divide their assets reportedly worth over $300 million. Also addressed in the story ... plans to arrange custody for their six kids.

Immediately after the report surfaced, Brad and Angie argued that the tabloid made "false and intrusive allegations."

After their victorious win yesterday in London's High Court, the couple's attorney released this statement:

"When the News of the World failed to publicly retract the allegations and apologize for them — thereby leaving their readers in the dark as to the true position — the couple felt they had no alternative than to sue. Today's victory marks the end of the litigation brought by Brad and Angelina."

The couple agreed to accept an undisclosed amount in damages. No word on whether they're donating the money to charity.

Vienna Girardi was out and about yesterday in Beverly Hills when we snapped this lucious profile of the reality show dame. We had no idea this girl had such curves!

Maybe it's true she dumped Jake flat on his face because she had so many other guys in line! Do you think Vienna's hot or not?

Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his youngest child, Oksana Grigorieva, is being investigated for extortion after reportedly asking him to pay her $10 million not to release the tapes she eventually gave or sold to a tabloid.

After the tapes became public, Grigorieva sent a text message to Gibson, according to a story in the Hollywood Reporter, saying the reason she recorded him was because he "broke her agreement with [her]."

The report says a source claims there are additional emails that will likely be used by Gibson's attorney to prove the singer/songwriter wanted to reconcile with the actor. The Los Angeles Police Department's spokesperson Steve Whitmore, has confirmed there is an ongoing investigation but he would not provide more details.

Legal pundits were puzzled by Grigorieva's strategy at the former couple's last court hearing June 22. Her attorney, Manley Fried, failed to disclose to the judge that Gibson and his client had an existing $15 million settlement agreement. THR's source is quoted as saying, "Manley Freid's strategy accomplished nothing. It's all out there now. They pressed the nuclear button and Gibson is still basically standing. There's zero upside for Grigorieva in terms of money, custody and visitation."

Rihanna's performance at the Staples Center last night was amazing and that red hair is finally starting to grow on us!

After the show, we spotted Rihanna and her main man, Matt Kemp partying it up at a concert after-party at Drai's:



Awww, look how happy she is!

Ali Larter just recently announced her pregnancy, and now she's proudly showing off her new pregnancy curves in a sweet pink summer dress.

She and husband Hayes MacArthur were able to keep the happy news secret for quite some time but have confirmed that they will welcome their first child later this year.

Pretty and pregnant in pink!

Something caught Ashley Greene's eye on her way to a workout in Los Angeles yesterday.

The Eclipse beauty is even prettier sans makeup, if that's possible, and showed off her fresh face inside the boutique.

All we see Ash do these days is go to the gym! Doesn't she do anything fun?

Joe Jonas was looking SERIOUS as heck yesterday after a workout in Hollywood.

Carrying his brand new iPhone and a bag of food, the hottest Jo Bro (or is that Nick?) was dressed in black as usual.

Since breaking up with Demi, Joe's single -- and sexy -- but this serial dater probably can't stay a bachelor for too long. Who do you think he should hook up with next?
