3. You guys really are hitting rock bottom with your obsession with Mel Gibson. Really, there is a war going on where ACTUAL Jews are getting killed. And all you retards can do is focus on an actor who while DRUNK made some ridiculous comments. You are the scum of the earth, and your insipidly stupid website proves it.

4. I wonder if he really meant

"All my friends are cops...I get IT on with them."

I keep hearing this rumor around the beaches in SoCal.

5. TMZ stop beating a dead horse and leave this man alone. How many useless videos are you going to dig up? Get over it, Mel got drunk, said some stupid things, and got a DUI.
He's not OJ, he's not Michael Jackson, or Robert Blake, he's a talented man who has a drinking problem. Let him heal in peace.

Forever a devoted Mel Gibson Fan!

6. Mel Gibson is the most disgusting person alive today. Running around Malibu drunk and feeling up multiple women at a bar, while having 8 children and a wife at home is horrendous. This is ridiculous. This wouldn't be big news if it were not for all the lies he has said in the past. "All My Friends Are Cops"...being a good christian..not being anti-gay...not being anti-semetic. This man has lied to everybody about his true character. People like him don't change. I wish we could go back to a time when people could stand for something, like Eleanor Roosevelt stood for human decency and hope for humanity.

9. Mike did you just read/watch Eleanor Roosevelt's biography or something?

Obsess much?

10. Get off the Mel Gibson kick. You have damaged his career, revealed personal information about him, and hurt his name. Enough already. Sounds like TMZ is trying to destroy Mel Gibson all by themselves. I'm sure glad people running this website are so pure and holy!!!!

11. I've watched every biography and read every book about Eleanor Roosevelt. I'm not obsessing. She's the greatest person of all time.

12. Enough with Mel Gibson already! You are reporting he has friends who are cops. SO WHAT! It is not like it helped his situation so what is the point of reporting it? What next? He owns a pair of handcuffs? Or maybe he knows someone who was once pulled or and cited? Or maybe he use to play cops and robbers as a kid? Get with it TMZ. We all know what he did and he is paying for it.

13. Good God, Harvey, let it rest already. It's over and done with, yesterdays news, nobody cares anymore except for you. It sure would be nice if you could quit playing your victim card and come up with something interesting.

14. It just seems kind of odd that every post you write mentions Eleanor.

Suggests a little obsession.

15. Why didn't Mel pull out his PBA card? I guess he was to f***ed up or forgot it. After this is all over, he can go to High Schools and talk about the dangers of drunk driving, having first hand experience.
