Mel Gibson enters rehab

Actor Mel Gibson entered rehab after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, his spokesman said Monday.

"He has entered into an ongoing program of recovery," said his publicist, Alan Nierob.

Further details were not immediately available.

The movie star's troubles mounted Monday as a Web site reported Gibson had been stopped twice before for reckless driving and let go.

Meanwhile, Hollywood speculated about the fallout from Gibson's reported anti-Semitic and sexist remarks.

Authorities involved in his arrest continued to fend off suggestions that they had "sanitized" a deputy's report.
