Mel Gibson makes congregation apply to attend

[HMG] Apparently keen to keep his new love-life somewhat more private, Mel Gibson is now asking folks who wish to attend his Agoura Hills church to fill out an application and prove they’re not nuts.

Nestled in the tree-covered mountains 30-miles northwest of downtown L.A, Mel’s private church – ‘The Holy Family Chapel’ – holds its services entirely in Latin and women are required to cover their heads, in compliance with a rule that’s been disregarded for years by most of the Catholic church.

And now these fellow church-goers are being forced to apply just to go there and pray.

Radar says the 53-year old actor has issued a form which the entire congregation, and any visitor must sign, requesting permission to attend Mel’s new church. This gets them approved — or not — by his security team, at which point they’re ‘invited’ to attend the next service.

But the form makes it clear that services are “not open for negotiation by guests,” and that the right to attend can be removed at any time without warning or reason.

Insiders say Mel’s motivation for this new role as Control Freak-in-Chief is a desire to keep details of his divorce and his ongoing liaison [and new fatherhood] with girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva from being  leaked to the press.  But due to this retentive new dictate, the other ‘guests’ at his church are saying nothing, of course.

You can bet someone will soon find a way to complain. Meantime, what do you guys all think of his choice?…
