Holy weird. Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are vacationing together. Seems like an odd pairing, right? Well not so much, when you think about it. Britney and Mel both have substance abuse issues. Mel is known for his deep spirituality – he even built his own church - and Britney wore a red Kabbalah bracelet for several months. So they have a lot more in common than you’d think.
Entertainment Tonight can confirm that Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are currently en route to Costa Rica on vacation together. Their plane departed at 9:05 AM this morning.
ET spotted them leaving on a private plane to the Central American state early this morning. Sources tell ET that Mel is taking Britney and her father Jamie for a mini vacation at his home is Costa Rica.
According to the terms of her custody Britney’s children cannot leave the country without special approval, so they are not joining her on the trip.
While the pop star and the actor may appear to be an unlikely duo, they used to live in the same Malibu community and were spotted having dinner together at Studio City’s Romanov restaurant in March.

The Daily News says that Gibson wanted to take Britney and her dad Jamie on a “mini-vacay to get away from it all.” I’m hoping this will actually involve some sort of exorcism or something. Couldn’t really hurt.
Let’s not forget that Britney is widely rumored to be pregnant for a third time. Mel Gibson is an old school Catholic who doesn’t believe in the changes brought about by the Vatican II. Something tells me if he finds out Britney Spears is pregnant again, he’s going to finally believe it’s a sign from God that birth control is cool with him.
Aside from the possibility of a pregnant getaway, it’s hard to guess what in the world Mel Gibson wants to do with Britney Spears and her dad on an island. But like Entertainment Tonight pointed out, they used to be neighbors and have been spotted having dinner together a few times. Supposedly Gibson has taken a fatherly interest in Britney, and unlike a lot of celebs who kept telling the press they wanted to help her, Gibson might actually be trying to. So I’m going to assume it’s something nice. And not creepy.
