Celebrity DUI Files

gibson23.jpgIn celebrity legal news today, Mel Gibson has struck a plea deal with a California court over his DUI charges. Under the terms of the deal, Gibson will have two of his misdemeanor charges dropped, while pleading no contest to the charge of driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit. In exchange, he will serve three years of probation, pay a $1200 fine, voluntarily enter a rehab program, and tape a public service announcement on the hazards of driving under the influence, the hazard in this case being the loss of one successful Hollywood career.

Elsewhere, Haley Joel Osment is steadily earning his way into child-stars run amok status. He has been charged with four crimes, including driving under the influence and possession of marijuana while driving. The charges stem from a July 20th incident, in which he lost control of his Saturn and ran into a brick pillar, flipping his car. He also suffered a broken rib. Osment, for the record, does not hate Jews.
