There's money for me and Mr Gibson (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mr gibson' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'there's money for me' is the wordplay.
'there's money' becomes 'l' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'l' after 'me' is 'MEL'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mel that I've seen before include "- - Gibson (actor)" , "-- Brooks, film director" , "Honey" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
