Celebrity Publicist Scrutinized In Mel Gibson Case

Karen Triggiani raised her eyebrows at this story:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Investigators in the Mel Gibson domestic-violence probe want to question a celebrity publicist who briefly represented Oksana Grigorieva.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that authorities are interested in learning from Howard Bragman where Grigorieva got the funds to pay him and whether those funds might have come from the sale of the secret audio recordings she made of telephone conversations with Gibson.

They also want to know if Grigorieva told Bragman anything about Gibson's alleged abuse of her or their baby.

Bragman declined comment on the matter as did Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Gibson's spokesperson also had no comment. (TMZ.com reported on July 30 that Bragman dropped Grigorieva before he had officially signed on.)
