Judge Rubs Out Mad Mel's DUI Conviction
Today 10:40 AM PDT by Josh Grossberg

"Sugar tits," we hardly knew ya.

A California judge today expunged Mel Gibson's 2006 drunk-driving conviction from his record after he successfully completed all the terms of his three-year probation. Gibson, who was not in court for the ruling, pled no contest to the charges.

The ruling came at the behest of the Passion of the Christ mastermind's attorney, Blair Berk, who filed a motion Sept. 21 to dismiss the misdemeanor DUI case.

As part of his penance, the 53-year-old Gibson attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, made a number of public service announcements and paid $1,300 in fines over the infamous July 2006 incident, in which he called his arresting officer "sugar tits" and railed against Jews.

3. You know, I'll never understand why these *rich* celebrities don't call a cab...

...if they've had too much to drink. I mean, they probably carry in the change pocket what I make in a month! So why not imbibe of your favorite brand, and, if you've had too much, call a cab!

If I were one of them, I'd never have to drive anywhere (I hate driving).
