Britney Arriving To Costa Rica

Poor thing thought she would be able to escape under the radar. I think she forgets sometimes that she's Britney Spears. Anyway, check out a few long range shots of Britney exiting her plane in Costa Rica shielded by an umbrella. Britney will be vacationing at Mel Gibson's home in Esterones de Guanacaste for several days.

See them all here!

Brit 'n' Mel: Bon Voyage BFFs

The following italicized article is from www.eonline.com:

Britney Spears has found herself a rather unorthodox traveling companion. So to speak.

E! News has confirmed the singer joined Mel Gibson aboard a private jet this morning, bound for Costa Rica.

The unlikely, but not unprecedented, duo was joined on their trip by Spears' father, Jamie, and Gibson's wife, Robyn.

Though the exact nature of the trip is not yet known, it appears to be nothing more than a friendly weekend getaway, with a source telling E! News the group departed from Los Angeles with the intention of hanging out at Gibson's Costa Rica property "for a couple days."

The source also told E! News the showbiz pair's budding relationship has been nurtured of late by attorney Blair Berk, who repped Gibson in his infamous DUI arrest and who is currently representing Spears' parents in their various legal entanglements.

More recently, Gibson has been described as "mentoring" the troubled pop star and that the duo has discussed "a getaway" of some sort.

The surprising pair first raised eyebrows last March, when they, along with a group of mutual friends, were spotted dining together at Studio City eatery Romanov.

At the time, sources close to both stars denied any professional collaboration, insisting instead that their meeting was "all about sobriety" and that the Gibson clan was simply looking to help the young star.

Judging by her progress made in the past few months, it's a job well done.

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson Vacation Together

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are headed to Costa Rica where they will vacation with the singer's father and Gibson's wife, a source tells PEOPLE.

"They're just going away for a few days to relax," says a source.

The group plan to stay at Gibson's Costa Rican home. They will be back early next week.

The unlikely pair were first spotted together back in mid-March when they dined at Russian restaurant Romanov in Studio City. However, it wasn't their first meeting. Gibson and Spears and their families met a number of times after the pop star was hospitalized in February, a different source told PEOPLE at the time. "

Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible," the source said.

Gibson and Spears used to be neighbors when the singer previously lived in Malibu. "There are no expectations, there is no agenda," the source added. "It's simply an act of human kindness – one neighbor reaching out to the other."

Britney Vacations with Mel Gibson

The following italicized article is from www.ok-magazine.com:

Forget those rumors of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline getting back together!

The recovering pop star is off and away for a vacation with none other than Mel Gibson, Entertainment Tonight reports.

The two jetted off at 9:05 a.m. this morning to Costa Rica, where Mel has a vacation home. It is believed Brit’s father and co-conservator of her estate, Jamie, has joined them for the trip.

Not along for the ride? Her sons Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, as Britney and K-Fed’s custody arrangement stipulates the pop star cannot leave the country without court approval.

While this pairing is odd, it certainly isn’t the first time Brit and Mel have convened. Malibu neighbors, the two dined at Romanov restaurant back in March, where Mel, 52, was reported to have dispensed some pearls of wisdom on how to deal with negative press to the 26-year-old.

"He understands what she's going through," a source told OK!. "And he certainly has advice on how to not let it destroy your life."

Unholy Moses! Mel Gibson and Britney Spears are going on vacation together? Apocalypto!

The Mayor of Mel-ibu is taking his neighbor Brit to Costa Rica, reports "The Insider," and they just left about half an hour ago from L.A. Brit is apparently with Papa Jamie but can't take the rugrats because they aren't allowed outside the US without special approval.
