I’m not sure how I missed this, but Jimmy Kimmel’s post-Oscar special Sunday night featured Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise as its guests. While the latter is already waist-deep in a carefully engineered comeback headlined by his hilarious performance in “Tropic Thunder,” Gibson has yet to escape the embarrassment of last year’s Sugargate.
He does have a new movie (the Martin Campbell thriller “Edge of Darkness”) coming out at the end of the year, though, and in an attempt to repair his image in time for its release, he made his first public appearance since the incident on Kimmel’s show. Though he still refuses to admit that he ever actually said the now infamous “Sugar tits,” it was his fake trailer for a movie called “The Colonel” that was the real highlight of the night.
