Mel Gibson spotted with singer-songwriter

Two years after an audio recording caught Mel Gibson admitting to hitting and then threatening to kill Russian pianist ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, was released, the Lethal Weapon star was spotted walking around West Hollywood with a new girlfriend.

TMZ reports that Italian model and singer, Nadia Lanfranconi, accompanied the 56-year-old actor to The Grove in L.A. over the weekend.

According to The New York Post, Gibson affectionately rubbed Lanfranconi’s shoulders at Morels Restaurant in West Hollywood.

Despite denials from Gibson that he and Lanfranconi are in a serious relationship, the two have been spending a lot of time together recently. The pair have even been spotted going to a sushi restaurant in Beverly Hills earlier this month.

Lanfranconi, who resembles the mother of Gibson’s 3-year-old daughter, Lucia, is an aspiring singer-songwriter, but she is better known as a model for “F Me” jeans. The company produces provocative jeans that plunge dangerously low.

Lanfranconi’s website says that her album, Bad Story, will be released sometime this year.
