Gibson In Control and Sober

Mel Gibson has not been drinkingMel Gibson is not downing brewskys. Gibson's über-publicist Alan Nierob tells TMZ news reports that his client was seen at a bar drinking beer are "absolutely untrue." And sources tell TMZ all indications are that Gibson has not had a drink since his drunk driving arrest last July.

Days after the arrest, during which Gibson went on an anti-Semitic tirade, Nierob said Gibson was reaching out to the Jewish community for "one-on-one discussions" to find "the appropriate path for healing." Today Nierob told TMZ Gibson has been "a man of his word." Nierob says Gibson has come face to face with some Jewish leaders, though he would not disclose their identities.

A source who has frequent contact with Gibson told TMZ that the actor "feels like he's more in control of his life."

47. I'm flattered that my comments have such an affect on your life Maven, but you really need to move on and stop thinking about me. I am entitled to my opinion as are you. Have a great day Babe!

A Devoted Mel Fan (Still)

Love all of you!

48. Maven, my God get off Lisa. This about Mel Gibson the drunk. Man you are getting way too personal and ugly to just put down Mel.

49. #49: Gibson is a miserable, bigoted, drunken, lying f*** who deserves to be put down, and run down--preferably by a DUI. I'm sure that if Gibson ran down and killed someone YOU loved, you'd sing a different tune about the bastard. So would Lisa, and so would all these other idiots who think he's not only wonderful, but deserves compassion and being let off without jail time just because he's a celebrity. Celebrity my butt. He's a godd*mn Nazi-oriented sunovabitch, just like his hateful bastard of a father.

50. Such anger and judgementalism. You people need the Lord.

51. mel is a phenomenal individual. he made an enormous mistake for which he is sorry. I have tons of Jewish friends who make racist comments. But now they don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

Mel is sincerely sorry. Stop milking this. It's worth nothing. People make mistakes...and we have ALL been insensitive, on one way, or another to another race.

PERIOD!

52. mel is terrific, and spoke the truth! and I have jewish friends...individuals are terrific, but the jewish right wing is corrupt, and truly believes that they only are god's only chosen people! they treat the palestinians like hell, stole their land, and forced intelligent, college educated people out of their homes. they spray the bedouins olive groves to kill them, because they claim that they are owed taxes on the LAND THAT THEY STOLE!

Mel should get help for alcohlism, and has the right to his opinions. It's a free world. Maven, i have a smart jewish friend (harvard educated, MD, who told me that she thought that BLACKS WERE DUMB, genetically. Her parents thought so too. So, don't think that all Jews are perfect. The wrong ones are just as ugly as Mel was during his tirade. Just like blacks sold blacks as slaves in Africa, Jews tortured other Jews in Nazi era to save their own skin. So, NOBODY IS AN ANGEL. AND GOD INSTRUCTS US TO FORGIVE!

THOSE WHO ARE SOOOO RELENTLESS ABOUT MEL, CLEAN OUT YOUR OWN CLOSETS!

53. Mel could have killed someone, who cares what he said. Death, you can't take that back.

54. The Jews ought to give this a rest already with their constant whining, they're in danger of overkill here. Mel was out of line and he apologized,let it go already.

55. He is an antisemetic and will never change..

56. Joanna #55: You got that right!

57. so, mel may be an anti-semite, semites are sometimes anti-non-semites, not all white people love blacks, not all blacks love whites, not all spanish folks love each other...

Wake up, that's life!

58. The lying drunk will be in another DUI incident within the month; you can bet the farm on it. Then what all you idiotic Gibsonites do? Excuse his actions away AGAIN? You people make me f***ing sick!

59. No one is excusing the relentless abuse of alcohol. He needs help, though, not our scorn.
What we are excusing was his tirade. ALL OF US HAVE MADE COMMENTS ABOUT "OTHERS" AND THAT'S THE FACT! BLACK, JEW, OR WHITE.

It's the moral hypocrisy that we oppose. He made a mistake, but has the right to his opinions, be they anti-semitic or not.

60. I find it so funny that the Jewish people have the NERVE to cry racism!!! I'm not Jewish (thank GOD!) but I can tell you from having lived in South Florida with Jewish people and worked with Jewish people THEY are the ones that are racists!!! Mel had every right to say what he did. A lot a people agree with him. The wars are caused by the Jews. If the shoe fits wear it!!!!!! Maybe it's a good topic the Jewish people can take up with their THERAPIST 3 time a week!!!!!!! Don't foget to take your meds!!!!
