Police Investigating Mel Gibson For Domestic Violence

The chatter regarding Mel Gibson’s alleged abuse of ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva isn’t just getting attention online – it’s sparked interest among police. A terrifying tape of Mel’s racist tirade against the mother of his eight-month-old daughter surfaced last week. Grigorieva herself denies leaking the tape. The release of the rant followed accusations that he punched her in the face , however, painting a sick picture of the actor, who split with her in January. In the tape, Mel allegedly references the incident in which Grigorieva says he assaulted her, and adds that she deserved it . What a class act this guy is. Understandably, the police are looking into it. If Oksana is to be believed, no one is safe from Mad Mel . “An investigation of domestic violence was launched by [Los Angeles Sheriff’s] Malibu/Lost Hills station detectives … involving actor Mel Gibson and his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva,” read a statement released Thursday. Referring to the January 6 incident, “The detective in charge of the investigation is currently gathering information regarding the allegations. Due to the investigation being preliminary in nature, no other information is available at this time.” Attorneys on both sides weren’t available for comment. Gibson and Grigorieva have been locked in a bitter custody dispute over their daughter, with the Russian singer filing a restraining order June 25. That was the first time the claim he punched her in the face “more than once” became public. Sources close to Gibson have denied there was any physical violence, claiming he merely was trying to stop Grigorieva from shaking Lucia “like a rag doll.”

Lindsay Lohan Arrest Warrant Dropped

A rep for the actress posts $100,000 bond. By Kara Warner Lindsay Lohan Photo: Stephen Shugerman/ Getty Images Lindsay Lohan will not be sent to jail, for now. Thanks to $100,000 posted by a representative for the troubled actress, the warrant for her arrest was withdrawn on Thursday evening (May 20). According to Los Angeles Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitemore, Lohan’s lawyer must appear in court Monday morning when a judge will set the date for her probation-revocation hearing. It is not clear if Lohan is required to attend Monday’s hearing at the Beverly Hills, California, courthouse, Whitemore said. CNN reports Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel revoked Lohan’s probation and issued a bench warrant for her arrest after she failed to appear at a hearing on Thursday. Lohan’s attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said her client missed the hearing because she is stuck in France due to her passport being stolen while she was attending the Cannes Film Festival. Holley said Lohan was issued a temporary passport by the U.S. Embassy in Paris on Thursday and will fly back to the United States as soon as possible. Judge Revel said Lohan cannot drink alcohol until a full hearing on her probation revocation, and she will be fitted with a bracelet to detect if she has been drinking. Random drug testing also will be performed on the actress, because of previous evidence she was under the influence of cocaine, Revel said. “I warned her before,” the judge said. “She knew it was very serious.” Lohan has been on probation since pleading guilty in August 2007 to two misdemeanor counts of being under the influence of cocaine, no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent and one count of reckless driving. Her probation was extended for another year in October after Lohan struggled to comply with court-mandated terms of her sentence, and prosecutors have warned that she faces jail time if she violates probation again.
