My sense is that these celebs are "contrite" because they were caught. Their sense of entitlement is bigger than their egos.

One thing to take away from this is that stars have very carefully crafted public personas that rarely match the facts of who they truly are (note the lily white persona of Tom Cruise - until he recently fired his longtime publicist.) Mel would not need Alan Nierob (his PR flack) if he wasn't crafting an image.

I don't think there is any doubt that Gibson is an anti-semite, and probably a Holocaust denier too. His father "never lied to him" after all.

That does not excuse the Jewish Hollywood lefties like Spielberg, Streisand, etc., who seem to care not a whit about Israel, but it doesn't make Gibson a saint or worthy of my respect, either.

Do you know Veronica that is such a silly thing to say.

("Mel would not need Alan Nierob) if he wasn't crafting an image).

All actors and actresses have publicists. Just because you don't like Mr. Gibson don't make such a ridiculous statement such as that. Alan Nierob is also Denzel Washington's, Michelle Pfieffers, Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez, and Robert Downey Jr's publicist.

Also, you just made an untrue statement about what Mel Gibson said. He said "My father never lied to me about my religion". Veronica, just because you don't care for Mel Gibson's religion, don't be prejudiced out in the open about it.

And I will ask you the same question I asked Julie. If you don't care for Mr. Gibson, why are you posting so much about him. And if you are going to post, at least be accurate.

Veronica, I could not say that better myself. I always distrusted Gibson because of his father and was puzzled by whydevout Christians - whom he disdains - embraced him. This man, after all, does not believe that his Anglican wife is going to Heaven. As for Spielberg, Streisand, the other phonies who sympathize with the terrorists - I have zero use for them and won't see their films or listen to their lousy records. I refused to see Speilberg's movie Munich and have no use for self-hater Tony Kushner.
