Mel Gibson crashes Maserati in Malibu

[joeybee12]

LOS ANGELES — The California Highway Patrol says Mel Gibson crashed his sportscar into a Malibu hillside but was not injured.

The agency says Gibson crashed his 2008 Maserati into a hillside on southbound Malibu Canyon Road around 8:35 p.m. Sunday. Gibson's spokesman, Alan Nierob, says the actor is doing fine.

Police say Gibson was alone in the car and that alcohol was not suspected in the crash. A news release states that a friend picked up the 54-year-old actor-director from the scene.

No further details were released and it was unclear how much damage Gibson's car sustained.

2. No alcohol? Guess it IS just all assholism.

[Warpy]

8. Why do you think he called a friend to pick him up at the scene

instead of calling the cops, ambulance and/or a hook?

Friends don't ask embarrassing questions. They already know.

[Scurrilous]

7. His driving skills have obviously degraded since his Road Warrior days.

Mad Mel Mashes Maserati in Malibu!!1!:o

9. If I was a multimillionaire, I would never drive my own car, ever again.

I'd either hire a housekeeper and a chauffeur, or else hire a housekeeper who can also be a chauffeur.

That way, I'd never get a ticket, ever again, and my wealth would actually trickle-down to keep one or two people gainfully employed with a living wage, so I would never have to wonder if I am too drunk to drive.

I'd also install solar panels, wind turbines, graywater recycling and geothermal systems on my house, where my plug-in hybrid limo would be recharged with renewable energy.

Why do rich people insist on driving?

[xocet]

14. ...

Thanks for the humor:

I read "I'd also install solar panels, wind turbines, graywater recycling...." and thought that that would, indeed, be some car in which you were being driven around, but then I read the rest of the sentence.

[housewolf]

11. Hmmm;... seems like ol' Mel is just self-destructing all over the place

It's kind of amazing watching what's been going on with him lately

[EFerrari]

24. He's an unlovely individual but it still saddens me to see it happening. n/t

[Mudoria]

12. At least he has good taste in fine automobiles if nothing else...

[Obamanaut]

15. Approval of a non-US made automobile? Gasp! (Sarcasm for all

the "I hate imported vehicles" crowd. :sarcasm:

[divvy]

16. His plastic dashboard Jesus won't get him into heaven anymore

Never drive faster than your reason permits

[Fleshdancer]

17. better luck next time Malibu hillside

Why do assholes seem to have longer lives than normal, well adjusted nice people?

[seabeyond]

18. he is ONLY 54. lol. wow, he is looking much older than 54. nt

[annabanana]

20. don't care.. is of no importance. . n/t

[EstimatedProphet]

21. He will undoubtedly claim Jews made his glasses.

[lunatica]

22. He's undergoing a prolongued karmic adjustement methinks

The balance dues seem to be coming in a lot lately. I can't say he doesn't deserve some of that good old payback.
