Bulletin: Gibson Enters Recovery Program

16. I hope he will also enter 'Stupidity Rehab'; I have always disliked the man - now I know why! Just one look at his appearnce tells you a lot - not the smartest apple in the tree, to say the least.

But he is still smater then millions of other people, who protect him and pay good $$$ to see his silly films ['Braveheart' for example - I saw bits on TV and roared with laughter; and this got an Oscar! well, if 'Titanic' did....]

At least the man is finally exposed for what he really is: a biggot, just like his dad.

Thank you, TMZ, for publishing 0 you're the best!!

17. AA works for millions of people, way more than these two week or month long programs. AA is a program to follow for life that gets you out of your own head, not deeper into it. his neighbor sounds igorant.

But on a more important note...isn't there BIGGER issues in the world for us to focus on instead of a celebrity racist with drinking issues? Children are being killed by war right now. Get over Mel. Who cares.

18. AA works for millions. His neighbor is an idiot.
But on another note...aren't there wars going on in the world right now? Why do we care about another alcoholic celebrity?

19. I can't disagree enough with Chris Prentiss's comments about the 12 Step Progam not helping Mel Gibson.
After entering more rehabs then I want to mention, I found a program in New Hampshire that treated you utlizing the 12 Step approach. This approach helps you address and identify your past behaviors, traits and general ways of life that contributed to your alcoholism. Usually they all revolve around honesty....the alcholics inabililty to be honest with him/herself and others around them. Usually the reason for the alcoholic to seek relief in the bottle is to escape dealing with honesty.
I think that this is a positive step in the right direction for Mr. Gibson and I wish him the best of luck

24. Of course he's entered rehab. His handlers insisted he did. This is the predictable next step that celebrity screwups take to salvage their careers.

25. AA doesn't work! Unless you think, a bunch of chain smoking, coffee drinking, shaking people, telling there depressing drunk sob stories to all in attendance, works for you. After the meetings I went to, I found I wasn't that bad after all and had a beer to celebrate. It just takes will power and not coping out, thinking you have some disease and it's out of your control. I know, I wasn't born with a bottle of Jack Daniels wrapped around my mouth!

26. How do you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E? Is he going to do a self-indulgent movie about this debacle as well?

27. In response to comment #5, if the arresting officer had been Jewish, would that have made mel's comments ok? There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of hate-mongering. On the plus side, maybe now fans of the passion will be a little less blind to its blatant anti-semitism.

28. And what Prentiss REALLY means is "I want him to spend money at MY clinic with a gang of overpaid hacks wh have no clue about how to treat alcoholism, but play let's pretend and collect the $$$"

Rehab is a fake. These people have no clue about how to cure addiction

29. Mr. Gibson should be finished in an industry that needs to be inclusive
and often tries to use art as a way to invoke social change. There are
many who can deliver stronger, clearer messages of hope and peace.
I won't spend one more penny ever on anything he's in, directs or produces.
People who agree with me can use a power tool in voting with their wallets.

30. Give me a break! AA is exactly what the guy needs! He's just another movie star who needs help with a substance abuse problem. Join the club Mel. The GOOD NEWS is that help is available though the 12 steps of AA that has been helping folks who just happen to be drunks who are as high strung & complicated as Mel for decades. All the other stuff is BS!
