Its a billion-dollar divorce!

says celebrity divorce lawyer Raoul Felder.

How will it affect his reputation?

Will it jeopardize the projects he has in development?

And perhaps, most tantalizing of all, will it be the costliest celebrity divorce ever?

So dont cry for Gibson yet.

If he was Matthew Broderick or Tom Hanks, the answer would be yes, says Felder.

These are very

hard to value, and that makes it not a simple divorce.

Still, Felder doesnt expect that the couple will turn their split

into a drawn-out battle.

If [Moore] is like any other wife, shell

want her money now.

I think shed want to be paid

up front.

Until then, Id have a go at keep it quiet.

But who

knows, it may wind up being World War III you cant tell.

More Mel Gibson:

Will Mel Gibsons rant hurt him in Hollywood?
