Why is the US media after Mel?

[dot.hawkes]

GMTV are being very apt I think by being tongue-in-cheek about the efforts of some US reporters to obtain the video and audio tapes of Mel's arrest, what i find refreshing is that the two young women who accidentally found themselves in the same venue as Mel 10 minutes before his arrest, have not rushed to condemn him and take a fat cheque from the press, but they both say he was drinking water, chatty and friendly and they seem to be the most pleasant women he could have bumped into. Apart from the police account, is there anyone who can prove Mel's alleged comments and behavior?

i think the two girls in question have been briefed what to say. i saw their interviews on gmtv and i dont buy any of it...i love mr gibson but he has made a huge idiot of himself.

the girls in the photo said that at no point did he come on to them.mel gibson has been married 20-odd years and never had any dirt dished on him in all his years in the movie business.The fact is, mel gibson is never going to be a lead man anymore, despite the jewish thing.just goes to show you how powerful they are in theUS that cops can make a killing from a few slurred words!mel gibson has his own production company, he doesnt have to suck up to anyone anymore, despite what the papers might infer .his apology was nothing but that-an apology from a guy who'd had a few.that's the price he has to pay, mind you, but at the end of the day, would you care about a few people taking your name in vain if you were worth millions??its something people from middle england dont understand, the sectarian element.we have it in central scotland and irleland but unless you live there you cant get the jist of it
