It's a good thing Mel Gibson is rich, because he's bleeding green. Oksana Grigorieva's lawyers are asking him to pay a fortune in attorney's fees.
A gaggle of Oksana's present and past lawyers showed up in court Wednesday, chatting in the hallway about fees and asking Judge Scott Gordon to order Mel to open his wallet wide and fork over several million dollars .... for just a few months' work.
Here's a partial breakdown:
-- Oksana's current lawyers, Daniel Horowitz, Marty Garbus and Ron Litz, are asking for $1.2 million for work performed since September, 2010.
-- Manley Freid's law firm is asking for $250,000. Mel has already been ordered to pay Freid's firm $500,000.
-- Alan Shifman wants $163,000 for one month's work.
Other lawyers and law firms requested hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees as well.
Judge Gordon has not decided how much Mel should pay in the latest request.

Jason Mraz: I Won't Wed Fiancee Until Gay Marriage is Legal
Jason Mraz, who popped the question to his dream girl in December, is adding a political twist to his marriage plans.
The Grammy-nominated crooner vowed to hold the wedding bells until same-sex marriage is recognized in America, he announced at Elton John's Concert to Benefit the American Foundation for Equal Rights in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
"We can't get married until [gay] marriage is legal and equal," the "I'm Yours" singer said at the concert, Us Magazine reported.
"We both feel that in our engagement, we have a union that's really special and can't be broken. It's a sacred bond,"Mraz explained.
"The wedding would be nice for our family, our friends, our community -- our moms especially -- and so it puts us in the fight," Mraz explained.
The 33-year-old music proposed to 28-year-old Tristan Prettyman in December, excitedly Tweeting to his fans, "SHE SAID YES."
Supporting same-sex marriage was the big theme of the night. At the same private fundraiser, music legend Elton John blasted gay-marriage critics.
"It seems ridiculous I could be with my partner [David Furnish] for 17 years and we have a son, and my partner and I can't get married," the new father said.
