Britney Spears & Mel Gibson's Costa Rican Getaway


I know there is nothing going on between Mel Gibson and Britney Spears, but the fact that they are off to Costa Rica together, for a short vacation, gives me the willies. Yes, Mel's wife, Robin, and Brit's dad, Jamie, will both be there, but where is this connection between them coming from?
"They're just going away for a few days to relax," a source told People.com.
In my world, I have to really like you to want to go on vacation with you, much less stay in the same house. Yup -- Britney is shacking up in Mel's Costa Rican home while they are there.
I guess they're good friends, but what do they talk about? Bad driving? Their past with substance abuse? That won't make for a very light-hearted getaway.

Maybe Jamie and him are good friends?
Tracy who are YOU to judge who can and cannot be friends and who should or shouldn't go on vacation together?
How about just reporting GOSSIP without your snarky and bitchy opinions?
IVILLAGE- this site used to be a REALLY good gossip blog but since you put Tracy in charge it has become TERRIBLE!
Britney and Mel are in Costa Rica to Save Mono Titi.

Well, it does seem strange, but seeing as Mel's wife and Brit's Dad will be there, doesn't seem so bad. Let us all just try to think positive and give the benefit of the doubt, maybe Mel thinks of Brit as a daughter or just a good friend and this get away may just be a nice gesture. :o)
Wow, who is Tracy and what is going on? I always get the news from this site but this is my first time commenting and I decided to read the other comments and wow. LOL, can't we all just get along. But yea, I think I agree, a real good journalist, reporter, whatever usually just reports the gossip and keeps their personal opinion out of it.
Frankly I have to agree... it doesn't seem strange to me. Mel is probably a mentor of sorts to her. Seriously you pointed out some similarities.. so maybe he is trying to help her on her path. Lay off would ya, you beat her while she's down, you beat her when she's up.. and heck I don't even care about the girl
Two big monkeys trying to save little monkey's, seems to me in this upside down world with all the human causes that are out there they could have picked a better cause. They'd make good politicians.
I am glad that she is getting out of all the situation she has been in for such a long time!

with all due respect - i am not sure this counts as journalism - but you could ask bernstein and woodward.
Give them a Break! I think Mel is trying to help Britney. He has children her age. He is wise. Many people have wanted to help Britney, probably you have thought of it too! Many stars have mentioned it. I saw Rosie and Heide Klum both offer their assistance on TV. If Mel can help her then good for him! Why do people have to look for the bad in everything. It is not creepy, in my opinion. Creepy is Michael Jackson with a monkey and his children with scarfs sheilding their faces! I hope they have a Professional Nanny!
I agree I with Bella. You peeps are too harsh and negative even when someones trying to change....theres no mercy here. Hell he's probably trying to help her salvage whats left of her self esteem. Theres nothing wrong with him doing that is there?? People need help from their friends...thats life!!!
Mel's WIFE is the one who encouraged him to help out with Britney who is the same age as their kids. Obviously Britney needs help, why do you have to make this about sex? That's pretty insulting to Mel Gibson. What's your problem anyway?
ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?? MEL GIBSON IS THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND BRITNEY HAS REALIZED THAT THE ONLY PLACE FOR A WOMAN OF HER CALIBRE IS AT THE FEET OF THE PROPHET.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
OF COURSE SHE CAN VACATION AND RECOVER WHEREVER SHE WANTS, AND IS FREE TO REST OR TO PLAY, WHEREVER SHE CHOOSES.
GET A LIFE, FOLKS. TRUTH MAY BE STRANGER THAN FICTION, BUT WHY WASTE TIME TALKING ABOUT SUCH LUDICROUS STUFF AS MEL AND BRITNEY.
THOSE TWO? TOGETHER? NOT.
I think he is just trying to help her get her life back on track, if that is possible. It would be nice to see her un-self-destruct. Maria Carey had a bit of a breakdown a few years back with much nasty speculation- she got it together ( with the exception of her marriage to that GUY)and had a fabulous comeback. I'm not one to talk about the marriage- been there, done that. Twice. Good luck, both you girls.
At least Mel is trying to help Brit instead of bitching about her on a blog. Is it a slow news day that you are trying to make a big deal out of nothing???
Go make a big deal of Madonna making out with girls around the globe in an effort to revive her middle aged image. Or the fact that Madonna craddle robbed when she smooched with an innocent Britney, thus bringing on the craziness and lost child we saw afterwards.

Mel is helping Britney because he is Bipolar also, he said so in an interview a few years ago. She needs someone in the same position as her to give her support. He has been through it too and she can benefit from his experience. She needs to know everything she can about bipolar, her kids may very well have it when they grow up. I have a son with it & he does awesome because I have researched & educated him & I hope Britney gets the help she needs. It is very sad that her breakdown was in the public eye, it will take her a long time to live this down, and it was not even the real her.
Yawn.
