Hear us out: yes, Gibson is going through tough times. From drunken epithets to sure-to-be-unpleasant divorce proceedings, the man has become a poster boy for Hollywood train wrecks, replacing the now gainfully employed Mickey Rourke. Which is why Gibson needs to get back to work. The man has a baby on the way with his girlfriend, and his wife -- the mother of his seven kids -- is about to take all of his money. Gibson is going to have to provide for his family (-ies), and we're thinking he'd be game for anything. Especially the Stooges. Mel Gibson is a huge Three Stooges fan, as evidenced by the endless references to them in his Lethal Weapon movies. Granted, he usually does a Curly impersonation, but we think the man is talented enough (and a big enough student of their films) to slide into any role easily. Can't you see a sad-sack Mel Gibson with a big head of red hair wincing every time Benicio del Toro smacked him, before turning around and passing it long to Jim Carrey? We know plenty of people who would pay cash money to hit Jim Carrey. Tell Gibson you'll pay him, and he's in like Flynn.

What do you think? Gibson as Larry? What, you got someone better in mind?
