DUI conviction cleared from Mel Gibson’s record

It’s like Mel Gibson never drove drunk or went nuts on the sheriff’s deputy who arrested him in 2006.

Nope, didn’t happen. Nothing 2 C.

I mean YOU may recall how a drunken Gibson lobbed anti-Semitic comments, but as far as the law is concerned, it didn’t happen.

A judge today, Tuesday, Oct. 6, agreed to expunge Gibson’s 2006 DUI conviction from his record, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Because this was his first DUI conviction, Gibson was eligible to have the charge removed once he completed the terms of his probation.

Gibson lived up to his end of the deal, attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, appearing in public service announcements and paying a fine, The Times said.

Watch Nancy Grace lets Jon Gosselin have it!!!

Yeah, she’s meaner that a raccoon trapped in a trash bin, but you know who is also pretty awesome - Nancy Grace.

The fireball CNN talk show host gave Jon Gosselin the ‘what for’ on the Insider Monday, Oct. 5.

He was called on his ‘you know what’ big time by the shark.

Grace all but called Gosselin a hypocrite, pointing out that for years Gosselin had his kids on the TLC reality show.

“Suddenly when it is no longer ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’ and it is ‘Kate Plus 8’ you suddenly have a problem with it and want it to come to an end,” she said. “What’s important is the children and not these two self-absorbed husband and wife who argue constantly in front of their children.”

Gosselin said he wants to mediate the situation with estranged wife Kate.

But good old crazy Nancy wasn’t fooled.

“You talk the talk but you can’t walk the walk,” Grace said, adding that while Jonny stays out partying with 22-year-old women Kate stays home with the kids.

Jon last week put the brakes on Kate’s hopes for a show without him.

He told TLC to shut down production of “Kate Plus Eight.”

Read “Could it be no Jon, no Kate, no plus eight? Jon gets show shut down”
