TMZ has obtained the mug shot of Denver Broncos running back Laurence Maroney — who was arrested in St. Louis on weapons and drug charges late Monday night.
Maroney — a star running back for the Denver Broncos — was allegedly high on drugs while in possession of a firearm.
Maroney’s rep insists he had a permit to carry the weapon — and has since been released from jail.
Mel Gibson just got a legal bill from one of Oksana Grigorieva’s lawyers, and probably thinks the name of the firm is Bend, Over and Pay.
Sources connected with the case tell TMZ … Alan Shifman (aka lawyer #41) claims he racked up a $163,000 fee for work performed between October 15 and November 15, 2010. He left the case after feuding with lawyer #39.
We’re told Shifman is asking Mel to pay $600 an hour — that means he worked about 272 hours during the month … which translates to 9 hours a day, 7 days a week.
As we previously reported, Oksana’s attorneys have asked Mel to pay more than $1 million in legal fees.
For Mel, it’s even harder to swallow than a Ricky Gervais monologue.

Sources connected with “Live! with Regis & Kelly” tell TMZ … Regis Philbin blindsided Kelly Ripa with his retirement announcement today … telling her less than 15 minutes before they went on the air.
We’re told Kelly was “stunned” that Regis didn’t tell her well in advance. But one source connected with the show tells us, “She wasn’t upset.”
Our sources say Regis felt if he talked about it before making the announcement, it would have leaked out.

Regis Philbin says he’s finally ready to give up his talk show gig … after 28 years on the morning shift.

Regis said he’ll tape his last show towards the end of the summer — but he didn’t give a specific date.
During his announcement, Regis joked, “There is a time that everything must come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people.”
