Mel Gibson and the big DUI

Mel Gibson released a statement yesterday regarding his DUI arrest in Malibu early Friday morning.

"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed," the statement read. "After I was stopped by the L.A. County Sheriffs ... I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said, and I apologize to anyone who I have offended." So how did he offend?

Mel says, "I have battled the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse." TMZ has the latest
