HOLLYWOOD, CA - A bad two weeks for actor-director Mel Gibson has gotten much worse. Fresh off the heals of his drunk-driving arrest where he made anti-Semetic remarks to the arresting officer, Gibson has been blacklisted by Hollywood heavyweight Rob Schneider.

Schneider, star of high-brow blockbusters Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalow and Judge Dredd, has pledged to never work with Gibson, who he calls an anti-Semite. In an open letter to Variety, Schneider says that “even if Mr. Gibson offered me the lead role in ‘Passion of the Christ 2′, I…would have to say NO!”

Schneider’s declaration is the first of what Hollywood insiders predict will be a flurry of anti-Gibson resolutions by A-list celebrities. “Schneider is only the beginning,” said Liz Smith, Page Six’s gossip columnist.

“My sources tell me Pauly Shore, Billy Baldwin, Carrot Top, Kathy Griffin, Andy Dick, and the guy who played Steve Urkel are all preparing statements where they vow to never work with Mel Gibson.”

A contrite Gibson, star of epics The Passion of the Christ and the Academy Award winning Braveheart, was saddened by the news.

“I know what I did was wrong and I am truly sorry,” Gibson was quoted as saying. “There are consequences to my actions, I realize, but knowing I will never have the opportunity to work with Rob Schneider or Kathy Griffin is more than I can bare.”

“Please forgive me, guy who played Urkel.”
