Gibson Pulls a Passion, The Nasty or Nice Gene, and Boy George, Lindsay Still Parties!

1. A present for any potential or actual Gawker stalkers: Boy George has been sentenced to five days of cleaning Chinatown, Little Italy, Nolita, and LES from mid to late August. His community service sentence came about after pleading guilty to false reporting of a burglary at his house, where, upon arrival, police found cocaine. Though, do your best to refrain from playing "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?" if you decide to take a peak from your passing a.c.'ed car. (CNN)

2. Mel Gibson is alleged to have made anti-Semitic statements after being arrested for drunk driving in Malibu. Shocker for anyone who didn't see or hear of The Passion of the Christ. (BBC)

3. A study of nice and mean rats has potential to show great insight into the genetic basis of animal "tameness," and in turn, perhaps human self-domestication. So we're not talking about just cultural feminization here, but biological through and through. Sweet tamales. (NYT)

4. Despite being sent a scathing letter by the CEO of Morgan Creek Productions James G. Robinson to stop her exhaustion-causing ways, Lindsay Lohan has thrown caution to the wind, hitting up Hollywood's Hyde last night and the clubs in Vegas on Saturday night with Harry Morton, her "current flame." Her mom, Dina, has come out since the letter and insists that Lindsay is a "wonderful child." Uh, way to state the obvious Deenz. (TMZ)
