:null_object is an option to #mock, not #mock_model, which does call down to #mock but doesn't pass any arguments through to it. The optional hash argument to #mock_model allows you to stub specific methods (in addition to #id, #to_param etc which #mock_model already does for you), e.g. mock_model(OrderAddress, :first_name => 'Al', :last_name => 'Chou'). If you've got so many methods to stub that it's not worth doing it explicitly, your best bet is probably to use #mock directly and pass :null_object.
