Link: Mel Gibson's DUI arrest
http://www.tmz.com/2006/07/28/exclusive-mel-gibson-busted-for-dui/

Mel Gibson was arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in Malibu, Calif. early this morning for suspicion of DUI. Bail was set at $5,000.

He was pulled over on the Pacific Coast Highway and a Breathalyzer test was administered. The arrest report lists the time of arrest as 2:36AM and the time booked as 4:06AM.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles Country Sheriff's Department told TMZ, "Mel Gibson was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was released later this morning. The investigation was still ongoing, just like it would be with any other person."

6. Actually, I don't think he's a RWer
I remember seeing an interview of him back when Passion of the Christ came out and he was annoyed that the media had pitted him against Michael Moore. And he commented about how he agreed with most of the accounts in Fahrenheit 911. Correct me if I'm wrong!

9. He is a HYPER conservative catholic, as is his father
Almost like what is known in these parts as a LeFevre Catholic...Latin mass, no meat on Friday, roll back Vatican Two, that sort of thing...

11. Is he an Opus Dei supernumerary?
Seems there was some talk of that, around the time that his Jesus bloodbath movie came out.
