Mel Gibson was seen drinking beer in Austin, Texas, less than two months after being treated for alcoholism, treatment that was court ordered after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated on July 28th. That was the same night he went on his now infamous anti-Semitic tirade. Gibson was in Austin to screen his latest film "Apocalypto" for Harry Knowles of Aint It Cool News. (read Harry’s gushing review here. It's pointless but it does at least confirm that Gibson was there). MSNBC says:
“I couldn’t believe my eyes. Mel Gibson was swigging a Bud with two adoring young women hanging on his every word,” … Gibson and his group were in an area that was “cordoned off so no one could bother him.” Another unnamed source backs up the claim, telling the Enquirer “He definitely was drinking Budweiser. I saw him.”
Paris Hilton got punched in the face. I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy. Who cares about Mel Gibson’s drunk ass – PARIS HILTON GOT PUNCHED IN THE FACE! If you got a close up of my heart today, all you would see is a rainbow and inside my head would just be Snoopy dancing.
UPDATE – or maybe not. Tynan wrote in to say that he met Gibson that night and swears he was stone cold sober. Tynan says: "After he went out that night he came to a party at my neighbor's house that I was also at. The entire time he drank only water or red bull, and briefly mentioned that he hadn't had a drink in two months. I had a few conversations with him, and he definitely wasn't drunk and didn't smell like alcohol."
