On the morning of July 28, 2006, Mel Gibson uttered 13
drunken words to L.A. County sheriff's deputy James Mee that
would alter his career forever. ''F---ing Jews.... The Jews
are responsible for all the wars in the world,'' said the
actor-director, who also reportedly called a female officer
''sugar tits.'' (Gibson was arrested for DUI and pleaded no
contest, receiving three years' probation and one year of
mandated AA meetings.) He issued a statement July 29
apologizing for his ''despicable'' behavior and admitting to
a battle with alcohol.
