A judge expunged Mel Gibson's DUI arrest from his record Tuesday in Malibu, Calif.

Look back at other shocking Hollywood scandals

The actor, 53, was pulled over by Malibu cops in July 2006 on suspicion of drunken driving. According to the arrest report, he hurled obscene and anti-Semitic remarks against police. He later pled no contest to misdemeanor DUI charges.
