MEL GIBSON HAS A CLEAN SLATE

The move to expunge the record of the arrest is routine in misdemeanor cases. Gibson's arrest in July 2006 earned him plenty of notoriety and late-night jokes. Police originally withheld the details, but within hours people were talking about Gibson's drunken tirade to cops, during which he blamed the Jews for all of the world's problems and made an off-color comment to a female officer.



RULING IN JON & KATE DIVORCE EXPECTED TODAY
