Mel Gibson lost control of his vehicle on Sunday night in Malibu, and it struck some rocky terrain.

First he crashes his career, and now his car? Poor guy can’t seem to catch a break.

Aside from his mental health, Mel appears to be all good; he told officers he was not on his phone and wasn’t snoozing.

Alcohol was apparently not a factor, and Gibson’s sweet ride, a Maserati, had to be towed from the scene.

From the report:

“For unknown reasons, Mr. Gibson steered his car to the right and struck the rock hillside. He stopped his car at the scene and was contacted by officers from the West Valley CHP Area.”

“Mr. Gibson supplied all the pertinent information to the officers at the scene, gave a statement, and received a ride home from a friend.”

California Highway Patrol spokesman Leland Tang told PEOPLE:

“There were no objective symptoms of intoxication, any level of impairment and we’ve ruled out speeding as well based on the damage to the car, which was moderate. Mr. Gibson was alert, oriented and cooperative.”

Cooperative? That sure doesn’t sound like the Mel we know.

Mel is still in the midst of a custody battle with his ex, Oksana Grigorieva, over their baby daughter Lucia Anne.

No offense to Mel, but I feel like the odds aren’t really in his favor.

Spencer Pratt has not spoken to his sister Stephanie Pratt in almost a year, according to Stephanie herself.

“In September it will be a year [since we've spoken]. It’s getting more normal and more normal.”

Stephanie also said it’s Spencer’s fault that they don’t speak, but added that she will be there when he’s ready.

“When he’s ready to come around, I’m going to greet him with open arms. I love him more than anything in the world. He’s my blood.”

It may simply be that the sibs just don’t have time to come together right now, as they’ve both got a lot going on in their lives right now.

Stephanie just suffered a nasty Twitter breakup from her boyfriend Josh Hansen.

Meanwhile, Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag are going through a legal separation.

Note to readers: Don’t get involved with any member of the Pratt family, it won’t end well.

Michael Bublé is rockin’ a man-gagement ring!

The Canadian musician told the crowd at a show earlier this month that it’s tradition in his fiancee’s family for the guy to wear an engagement ring:

“The boy also wears the engagement ring (in Argentina). That’s what she tells me anyway.”

Bublé has been engaged to his girlfriend, Argentinian model/actress Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre, since November.

Hmmm, who wears the pants in the relationship?

Just kidding– I actually think this is super cute and very progressive! Good job, Luisana.

Congrats to them both.

Katie Holmes, 31, is the cover model for New York Magazine‘s Fall Fashion issue. Inside the magazine, Katie talks about everything from her husband Tom Cruise to working on set with her daughter Suri.

Here’s what Katie had to say about starting her new fashion line with stylist Jeanne Yang:

“I started making clothes for Suri when she was born, designing dresses, and then having seamstresses sew them, because I don’t sew very well. As a child, I was always drawing clothes, and I’ve always loved fabrics, and when Suri was born, I wanted to have certain things be from me and created just by me for her. And so that kind of got me into it, and then one day, Jeanne and I were getting ready for something and we thought, men have such beautiful tailored shirts, they have such a uniform, and we thought it would be nice to make things that are simple that you can have forever.”

She also discussed Suri’s love for fashion. Katie has very chic style, but it’s nothing compared to Suri’s outrageous taste:

“I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up. And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, “I want this sleeve cut,” and it’s like, “Okay, we’ll cut it.” She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was 1½. Tom and I went to the Met ball a couple of years ago, and I had this beautiful red gown and these royal-blue shoes that I wasn’t planning on wearing, but Suri made me put them on and so I was like, “Okay, I trust you.”

Katie was asked if she ever reads the speculation about her marriage with Tom. She responded:

“It’s there, it’s one of those things. My big concern is what does he have going, what do I have going, what are we going to do this weekend. It must seem weird, I guess, having so many people watching. It is weird. I get it. But you just, you know, smile and nod.”

Who would’ve thought that a sweet girl on Dawson’s Creek would become so famous? I love Katie’s style. I’m interested to see her designs come to life. I’ve always appreciated her simple, clean lines, and how she can make a plain dress look like a million bucks with the right pair of shoes. Remember what a fuss she created when she cut her hair in that 20′s style bob? My fingers are crossed for a success!

Just before midnight on Saturday night, teen heartthrob Justin Bieber tweeted “his” phone number from his official Twitter account:

“everyone call me 248-XXX-XXXX or text”

Turns out “his” number actually belongs to a Detroit teen by the name of Kevin Kristopik, and Justin was supposedly acting out of revenge; Kevin allegedly hacked Justin’s childhood friend on Twitter in order to get– and leak– Justin’s phone number.

Kevin reportedly received over 10,000 text messages after Bieber’s tweet.

Screencap of the tweet:

Ultimate payback or childish antics? Not the best way to utilize social media to further your career, in my opinion. Justin has 4.5 million Twitter followers, most of which are impressionable pre-teen girls.

Though Kevin has since deleted his Twitter account, he tweeted this at Justin a little over an hour after his number was posted:

“Thanks for giving out my # @justinbieber.”

As well as these comments:

“I never asked for it, @justinbieber is a dick. i still like him, but this was so low.”

Kevin also uploaded a video of his phone going bizerck with incoming calls and texts to YouTube. Pretty amusing– looks like a glitch with the phone.

His mailbox is now full (obviously).

According to sources, Angelina Jolie, 35, will soon be playing bombshell Marilyn Monroe in film The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog. George Clooney will be joining her in the film as Frank Sinatra.

Angelina Jolie Sex, Drugs & Nudity in Unauthorized Biography

The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog, and of His Friend Marilyn Monroe was originally a book written by Andrew O’Hagan. The book follows Monroe during the last two years of her life through the eyes of her dog Maf. The Maltese terrier was a gift from Sinatra in 1960.

An official casting announcement has not been made yet. What do you think of Jolie playing Monroe? I could definitely buy it.

“Jersey Shore” star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro was taken into police custody for outstanding warrants for his arrest involving unpaid parking tickets in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, on Sunday (August 15).

A press release from the Seaside Heights PD says, “On August 15, 2010 Ronald Ortiz was placed under arrest for outstanding warrants from two separate jurisdictions … Mr. Ortiz was transported to the Seaside Heights Police Department where he was processed and later released after satisfying the conditions of these warrants.”

Ronnie went to the police station, finally paid the parking tickets and was shortly released. Poor Ronnie is already safe and sound at home. This incident was pretty lame compared to Snooki’s arrest for disorderly conduct a couple of weeks ago. I guess that’s why she is the bigger star.

JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater, who was idiotically turned into a national hero before all the facts were spilled out for his beer run and exit down the airplane emergency slide, is being exposed for the fraud he is, as more and more passengers from the plane are being questioned about what exactly happened on that flight.

Their stories aren’t exactly matching up with his…at all:

“A significant number of people said he had the cut before he boarded the plane, and several other passengers said he was acting erratically on the flight,” the source said.

Slater should be prosecuted and likely will be if Queens DA Richard Brown’s statement can be believed:

Queens DA Richard Brown noted the “seriousness of the crime,” saying Slater’s deployment of the inflatable chute took the plane out of service, could have caused a serious injury to people below, and could have caused passengers to panic.

Slater has refused to talk to Jet Blue to date according to the company.  His actions were idiotic under any circumstances, and he’s being exposed for being a liar and massive fraud.  He should be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.

Reality star Tila Tequila was allegedly brutally attacked by a violent crowd at the Gathering of the Juggalos concert in Illinois over the weekend. Tila decided to take over the stage and show off her rapping skills to the angry crowd (graphic pictures/video below).

The crowd booed Tila and when she wouldn’t leave the stage, they started throwing things (including rocks and fireworks) at the Tila, the rapper, who was hiding behind a bunch of bodyguards. Tila even tried to flash her boobs to the crowd, but it did not work.

Tila Tequila Suicide Hoax: Fake Blood & Multiple Personalities

Tila Tequila told TMZ her own dramatic version of the story. Tila said:

“I went onstage and immediately, before I even got on stage, DUDES were throwing HUGE STONE ROCKS in my face, beer bottles that slit my eye open, almost burnt my hair on fire cuz they threw fire crackers on stage, and they even took the sh*t out of the port-0-potty and threw sh*t and piss at me when I was onstage.”

“These people were trying to kill me.  So then after the last blow to my head with the firecracker they threw at me exploded, my bodyguard and the other security grabbed me and ran as fast as they could to the shitty trailor.  Since their security SUCKS, the 2 thousand people ran after us, trying to kill me.  They almost got me so they finally reach the trailor, blood all over myself, cant stop bleeding, then all of a sudden, all 2 thousand people surround the trailor and busts the windows!!!  Even the guys INSIDE with me were shaking!  Their hands were shaking cuz they were so scared!  So 3 guys inside the trailor had to grab a table and push it over the broken windows and grabbed all the chairs they could find so hold the people from outside back.  It was scary as hell!”

Tila, who is planning to sue the organization of the event, has several cuts and bruises as a result of this violent accident and, of course, she provided the pictures of the horrific bloody injuries herself. Fame-wh*re! For Tila, there really is no bad publicity.

Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem was arrested for possession of marijuana after being pulled over by Florida Highway Patrol officers for driving 2008 Mercedes with tinted windows in Miami on Sunday (August 15).

Cops reportedly searched the vehicle a couple of times before discovering more than 20 grams of weed. Although one of the passengers in the car admitted the pot was his, LeBron James’ new teammate was promptly arrested, charged with possession and later released on bail.

Udonis’ lawyer, Eric Schwartzreich, hopes that his clients will be found not guilty of the marijuana possession charge since he “doesn’t know how he can be charged with this.” This is lame excuse and a great start of the season for the Heat.
