Passion of the Twelve Steps

Mel Gibson has checked himself into rehab confirms his spokeswhore. This is following Mel's very public tirade after being arrested for driving drunk.

Gibson's rep, Alan Neirob, exclusively tells Star, "He is in a program of recovery at this time."

Chris Prentiss, a neighbor of Gibson's and the co-founder of celebrity treatment centre Passages in Malibu, Calif., tells Star: "I understand he has gone to a treatment centre. The center that I've heard he's checked himself into follows the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-step program. And I don't believe that will help him."

Prentiss -- who refused to name the rehab center he's heard Gibson is in -- adds: "He needs individual intense therapy by a team of people who know what they are looking for in causes in alcoholism."

Let's hope Mel gets help and comes out clean! Also, let's hope he gets fucked up the ass by a few hot dudes, because bitch needs it so he won't be such a grouch! You know he likes it up the heiny, I don't have to tell you that.
