Gibson Surfaces -- and He's Plenty Mad

A rare photo of Mel Gibson surfaced Thursday, showing the former DUI defendant leaving a parking garage.

Gibson was irked at the paparazzi that were following him. Mel was sporting a hat and carrying two duffel bags and, according to the photogs there, he was clearly annoyed by the attention.

Gibson pleaded no contest to DUI on August 17 and was ordered to attend one year of AA meetings. For the first four-and-a-half months, he must attend those meetings five times a week, and for the remainder of the time, he must attend three times a week. Gibson was also ordered to pay $1200 in fines and penalties and $100 in restitution.

"EXTRA" will feature footage on its show Thursday of Gibson leaving his office while the paparazzi cheer him on. Check local listings for show times.

31. Wealthy multi-millionaire drunk whinning. He is insulated by what money can buy, so I believe he gets what he deserves--public scrutiny.

33. My advise to Mel is: Take your drivers license out, cross out Gibson, write in Kennedy, there-no not only can you drive drunk but you can kill people and run for office. AMAZING!!!

34. OK, he said it and it was wrong but...anyone reading this who has ever had one to many including me has had the foot in mouth problem more than once and from one who knows...you don't always say what you really feel!! Let it go! I think Mel is saying many mea-culpas.

35. HEY #29, IF YOU SAY THE WORLD IS BETTER OFF WITHOUT RELIGION AND THERE IS NO GOD, THEN WHY ARE YOU SO UPSET WITH MELS REMARKS ABOUT THE JEWS? (GODS PEOPLE?) WHO THE HELL ARE THEY TO BE WORSHIPPED? THE JEWS ARE BEATING MEL INTO THE GROUND. WHERE IS THEIR FORGIVENESS? MEL APOLOGIZED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE JEWS CONTINUE TO BERATE, DEGRADE, AND DWELL ON A MAN'S SIMPLE REMARK WHILE HE WAS DRUNK, AND I BELIEVE HE'S TRULY SORRY, BUT THAT WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH FOR THEM. NO ONE "HAS" TO LOVE ALL JEWS. IT'S NOT A LAW. THE MODERN JEWS ARE NOT GOD FEARING AS THE ONES WHO WERE PERSCECUTED. TODAY IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY AND POWER. SPEILBERG STATED THAT HE COULD FORGIVE MEL IF HE GAVE $1000.000.00 TO ISRAEL. THAT SAY'S IT ALL

39. LEAVE MEL ALONE!!!!!!!! Mel made an error, first by drinking and driving, then not using his head when he said the comments regarding Jews. Mel has given us fantastic entertainment, fantastic films, has donated to different charities including the police in LA. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes and learn from them, and NOT be treated the way he has been. Mel and his family should be in everyone's thoughts and prayers, as alcoholism is a tragic disease that is felt throughout a family, and I know as I was part of an alcoholic family. And remember one thing, those without sin, cast the first stone! And I've yet to meet anyone that hasn't made BIG mistakes in their lives and they were not shunned!!
As for the rude comments from Barbara Walters and those in Hollyrude, well, lets see what YOU may be doing that would show YOU are human and not perfect. I will always continue to support Mel and his family and his movies, and to those that don't, well that's YOUR loss. SO LEAVE THE MAN AND HIS FAMILY ALONE!!!!!!

40. Wait a minute.....Did I just read that ROB SCHNEIDER took out an ad stating he'll never work with Mel?? He's serious, right? Rob Freakin Schneider? He's not even in the same LEAGUE as Mel Gibson. What a dink. Hope he's reading this :)

41. You know I really like Mel and I think everyone blows this all out of proportion. The jewish community know better than anyone else that a man must be masugana to make comments like that and who is to say you arent when youve been drinking. Get over this people and media stop beating a daed horse. How many celebrities get away with drinking and driving. Lots of them have issues all the way back to Gene Krupa who got busted for pot in the 40s Oh My the nerve of him haha. Mel is a good actor director and writer. I think he was just blowing off some steam. Why did the cops even mention what he said are they jealous? Did they need to spread vicious gossip? Did the cops want to hurt the jewish community? Now Mel buddy dont take offense to this but the real crime here is You just made 350 million dollars on The Passions of Christ and you had a chit load of money before that. Why do you supposed you got such an easy sentence by judge prejudice? Any normal civilian would have paid three times that and had 3 years probaiton Year and a half in traffic frigging BS class loss of license for so long and have to spend two days in Jail. i think the real crime here is the sentencing for the rich ass people who can afford the money is one third the amount that the struggling broke ass barely surviving little guys get.
Im an actor and I will stand behind Mel on this one its not that big of deal it goes on 50 times a day if you think about it all over Calif alone. Peace Out Mel See you soon Want to help me shoot a movie I have a good comedy script waiting.

45. TMZ leads this so called big story by referring to Mel as former DUI defendant - not Mel the actor or Mel the director. So clearly this article is to just stir up and remind readers of some really old redundant story. Then they act surprised he wasn't smiling at the cameras? As far as I'm concerned he looks like a man carrying some heavy bags in warm weather being harassed by the TMZ staff again and again and again................................................
