Mel Gibson sweeps Maria Menounos off her feet with a raunchy dance

Mel Gibson wasn't even supposed to be at Maria Menounos' private birthday bash, but that didn't stop the Mad Max star from grabbing the birthday girl and swinging her around for a dance.

Menounos was celebrating her 34th birthday with a Hawaiian themed party at her Encino home Saturday when the Lethal Weapon star arrived.

All guests, including Gibson, were given a fresh flower lei at the front door.

The bash had an exotic luau theme and the Extra hostess dressed in a bright yellow bikini top and tiny floral printed shorts.



The petite Dancing with the Stars contestant was also photographed posing with all sorts of exotic animals, such as a monkey, a snake and a grey parrot.

Menounos was in fine form as guests such as her DWTS partner Derek Hough arrived, joining others such Donald Trump, Jesse Metcalfe and top hockey player Wayne Gretzky.

Gibson arrived he 'swiftly made his way into the centre of the room' to dance with the guest of honour.

The 56-year-old action star was seen whisking Menounos off the ground while she gleefully wrapped her legs and arms around him for balance.

At the end of the night, Menounos took to her Twitter page, writing, '4:30 am – time for bed. Party was insane! Danced my butt off! Sang my butt off… it was epic! Dancing didn’t end till 3am!'
