Demand for Mel Gibson's mess with his ex girlfriend Oksana has not dipped. At all. Not even a little.
"Interest in the Mel-Oksana story is as strong as ever, at times stronger than ever," Perel says. "Our audio tapes were even responsible for the ratings rise of several syndicated entertainment TV shows that we allowed to play portions of the tapes."
Hear that? The story is so big that it's causing a chain reaction of bigness.
You'd think that Grigorieva might regret the way these leaks have dribbled out; her image hasn't exactly risen in popularity since all this started. Still, it's Gibson's persona that has taken the bigger hit.
Davie Brown Index have exclusively shared their latest data and it isn't good.
Among the general public, Gibson's "appeal" score has plunged by more than 15 points; where he once ranked among fairly likable talents such as Steve Harvey, Gibson now shares the same stratum as Andy Dick, Tiger Woods and Rosie O'Donnell.
In fact, of the 2,540 celebrities in the Celebrity DBI database, Gibson now ranks at No. 2494 in terms of appeal.
When it comes to trust, it's even worse: Gibson now ranks on the same level as Charlie Sheen.
Can Gibson's image sink any lower? I guess it all depends on how many more leaks we see.
