Mel Gibson Busted For Driving While Dehydrated

With intoxicated, faded stars like Daniel Baldwin and Haley Joel Osment recently hogging all the celebrity DUI news, we'd begun to lose hope that we'd ever see a $20-million-per-picture-quality name on the police blotter again. But like any good savior, Mel Gibson ignored our lack of faith and came through for us during a crisis of belief by throwing down a few too many last night and tearing around Malibu at "excessively fast speed," a boozy joy ride that earned him a misdemeanor charge and a $5,000 bond. Thank you, Mel. It's just nice to know that we still have someone we can believe in when we are beset on all sides by lesser Baldwins and former child actors.

the only thing i would have appreciated more in this story would have been if he had come out as a workaholic, but i guess it's better not to take away from lance's big week.

Hanging out next door with K-Fed most likely - a receipe for trouble - just ask Elaine LaLanne's son.

That is one strange trifecta.

This must be a Mel imposter because if he's really 5'10, then so am I.

Maybe a Vitamin B shot would help. Administered by Jebus of course.

If he pulls garbage duty for community service, he can just clear out the house next door.

He must have just come from a screening of Apocalypto. But hey, Jesus turned water into wine, it's all good.

Windowseat is my BFF, even though I've never met him (very cyber-space). Cheers Windowseat. Long live the Mohney.

"I'm not going to get in your car."

"I own Malibu!"

"F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Are you a Jew?"

"What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"

The lesson for all you celebrities out there: If you're going to act like a violent, antisemitic, misogynist a-hole, make sure it gets reported on a Friday. Hardly anyone will notice till the following week!

Ya, me an' BoHan are totally BFF. When Mohney gets hired to edit Conde Nast International Brothels we can go work for him.

Oh, yeah, he's stepped in it this time. He owns Malibu, heh.
