Someone is at LAPD's Hollywood Division right now filing a battery report against Mel Gibson.

Mel was at a club last night with GF Oksana Gregorieva when a photog tried taking a pic but coudn't get the shot because of security. According to Hollyscoop.com, the photog's friend stepped in and tried to get the shot, but that reportedly irritated Mel to the point he ripped the guy's shirt open.

It is so sad to see how low Mel has sunk.

Drunken anti-semetic rages, a divorce and now this. Mel is starting to bear a scarily close resemblance to Martin Riggs in the first Lethal Weapon movie.

It's sad, because for years, all you read about Mel was that he'd cleaned up his act with drugs and booze and that his marriage was one of Hollywood's longest lasting. But I guess we don't really know what happens in the stars' real lives.

I sort of don't blame Mel for being mad at the photog.

Gibson Avoids Battery Charges
30 July 2009 9:11 AM, PDT

Mel Gibson won't face battery charges - after police found no evidence the actor attacked a reveller at a Los Angeles nightclub.

The Lethal Weapon star and his pregnant girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva made a rare appearance at the launch of Playhouse on Wednesday.

The couple appeared to be enjoying themselves in the hotspot's VIP section until a magazine reporter, posing as a fan, took pictures of them, according to Hollyscoop.com.

Gibson's security guards were said to have confiscated the camera and deleted the photos, prompting the relentless journalist to send a male friend to get another shot.

The unidentified man filed a report against the actor, alleging Gibson flew into a rage and attacked the clubgoer before storming out, tearing the man's shirt.

But police have determined there is no evidence of battery in the case after witnesses protested Gibson was not in close enough proximity to grab the alleged victim - because his security team had wedged him in a booth after several attempts were made to get close to the actor.

According to TMZ.com, police are not expected to interview Gibson.

But you still don't let your temper get the best of you after you've had the recent history and PR nightmare he's had in the recent past. He sounds like his drinking is still out of control. Good luck to the young chick who thinks she's got a real catch in him.

Doesn't sound very Christian of him does it? Practice what you preach and what is preached to you Mel or you'll be the next D-List celeb to hit Dr. Drew's Recovery program (where he can act like Gary Busey....)

Thanks for the update James. Looks like he's no longer in the "good books" with the photogs now and if they can't get a photo of him, they'll make up a story to still get press.
