In the "can you believe this one" department, Oksana Grigorieva, who allegedly leaks tapes of an angry Mel Gibson, now wants him to pay for her public relations team.

There is even some gossip that she is demanding thousands more in child support. This from Fox News:

"Oksana Grigorieva spent tens of thousands of dollars in PR to thwart public perception that she sold the secret tapes -- and now she wants Mel Gibson to foot the bill ... sources tell TMZ.

"We're told Oksana racked up $84,000 in PR expenses and certain unpaid legal fees. As for the PR fees, TMZ sources say Oksana felt hiring PR reps was the only way counter someone as big and powerful as Mel Gibson. Oksana -- who insists she didn't sell the tapes -- felt she was getting trashed in the media.

"Sources say Oksana wants Judge Scott Gordon in the custody/child support case to clear the $84,000 debt." 

As Fox reports, however, it is not in the judge's power to rule on this type of request.

So is this just Oksana being Oksana and working her publicity plays?
