Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Mel Gibson’s arraignment on misdemeanor drunken driving charges was advanced to Thursday, the district attorney’s office said.A judge granted a request made by Gibson’s attorney, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for Los Angeles County prosecutors. The time of the arraignment in Malibu Superior Court was not immediately known.Gibson did not have to appear, but the judge may have requested him to show up, Robison said.The 50-year-old actor-director was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while having a 0.08 percent or higher blood-alcohol level, and possessing an open container of alcohol while driving.Arraignment was originally set for Sept. 28. Gibson, who was stopped around 2:30 a.m. on July 28 while driving on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, made anti-Semitic remarks to the arresting deputy. He later apologized for what he called "belligerent behavior" and "despicable" remarks.

I hope the anti-semite comes out of hiding ot attend this!

After his traumatic arrest, and anti semitic outburst recently, Mel Gibson piously promised to get help – but THE ENQUIRER has learned that the long-time alcoholic has NOT checked into rehab, he’s at home. The former Oscar winner is refusing to enter a traditional rehab, and is instead trying to gain a hold of his problem via outpatient therapy. According to his publicists’ assistant Veronica Pinto, regarding treatment, Mel is in an ‘ongoing program of recovery. That’s it.’Many question Mel’s seriousness regarding recovery since he is apparently yet to seek intensive therapy for what seems to be a major problem.

National Enquirer 

This makes sense if you read the press releases written by Alan Neirob it never said he was going to rehab but that he was getting treatment. 

"Let’s Face It" is the title of a nonfiction book I’m writing.

In it, I criticize Mel Gibson’s "The Passion of the Christ" for anti-Semitism. But I still wrote: "I don’t find Mel Gibson anti-Semitic. He worked with Jews and has many Jewish friends." I wrote this in spite of the fact that his father, Hutton Gibson, is an anti-Semite and denier of the Holocaust.

And then Mel got drunk and ranted about "sugar tits" and the "f– Jews always starting a war." There is a Talmudic saying: "When wine comes in, truth goes out." I believe that. Within the deep recesses of his mind, there apparently lies a cancerous sore of hatred for the Jews.

When Hezbollah dug a tunnel into Israel, killed eight soldiers, kidnapped two more and showered Israel with bombs, did Mel think that the Jews were starting a war?

Mel’s first apology was too contrite and seemingly not remorseful. His second was an afterthought — oh yes, about those Jews.

Of course, it may be too difficult to deal with the huge amount of money and worldwide fame that his prodigious talent brought him. Did these successes lead to his alcoholism? This is a serious problem that Mel has to face.

After many years of rehabilitation, our son Eric died from an overdose. The experts could only console us with the three C’s:

You didn’t cause it.

You can’t control it.

You can’t cure it.

How ironic is it that Mel’s television production company was preparing a series on the Holocaust? It has been canceled.

Mel is now ready to talk with a Jewish group or a rabbi. I disagree. He is a Catholic and appears to need some spiritual guidance. Perhaps he should first talk to one of his own faith. Maybe Cardinal Roger Mahony could be a great help.

Whether it is about self-hate, or hatred of others — let’s face it — Mel is in a mess.

You go Kirk Douglas! For a man who is 89 years old he still has his wit! 

Mel Gibson’s movie "Apocalypto," which Disney was supposed to release on Dec. 8, is "being shopped" to other potential distributors, sources tell me.One potential distributor for "Apocalypto" is Lions Gate, an independent company with a history of rescuing distressed projects. In the past they’ve picked up Kevin Smith’s "Dogma" and Michael Moore’s "Fahrenheit 911" when Miramax was prevented from putting them out by their own agreements with Disney.And that will be ironic since once again Disney finds itself in the position of having a movie it no longer wants.This column was the first to speculate more than a week ago that since Mel Gibson’s arrest for drunk driving and the scandal involving his anti-Semitic tirade, Disney would not want to invest any money into "Apocalypto," which already was an iffy project at best.A spokesperson for Lions Gate declined to comment on whether the company had talked to Disney or Gibson. At the same time, a reliable insider who knew the players in this game assured me that Disney was quietly shopping the film and that Lions Gate was first on its list of hopeful buyers.

Can’t blame Disney. The movie looked like a failure before Mel Gateson now it has a chance in hell.

EVEN before Mel Gibson’s drunken driving arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic tirade last week, not all residents of Malibu were happy to call their home "Melibu."Gibson and his wife, Robyn, let some of their seven children roam the tony beach suburb north of Los Angeles unsupervised, and the kids "terrorize" the neighborhood, according to two residents.One local tells us that Gibson’s kids, a daughter, 26, and six sons ranging in age from 7 to 24, "are the holy terrors of Malibu. They do whatever they want."According to one story repeated by neighbors, Gibson’s high-school sons tried to buy two kayaks from a surf shop and demanded the store put them on credit. When told the family didn’t have an account there, a source says, "They got very angry and started shouting, ‘Don’t you know who we are?’ " (Staffers at Zuma Jay’s and the Malibu Surf Shack, the two kayak stores in Malibu, say they don’t recall such an incident.)Malibu resident Shari Nassimi also finds the Gibson spawn wayward, but in an unspecified way. In a letter to the editor of Surf Rider News, Nassimi writes, "If Mr. Gibson would only pay attention to his own family and children, [who] have had issues of their own . . . he would [stop] perpetuating what he points to in others as evil."
