Britney Spears & Mel Gibson: Costa Rica weekend vacay

Add a Comment

May 15, 10:12 AM

by Liz Barrett, Celebrity News Examiner

This vid shows Britney Spears and Mel Gibson going to dinner together in March. That's nothing. Right now are on a plane to Costa Rica for a little weekend vacay (no hanky panky, we assume).

Uncle Mel invited Britney and her father, Jamie, to stay at his vacation home in Costa Rica. Insider reports they left on a private plane at 9:05 this morning.

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.

Vaya con Dios.
