Britney Spears vacation in Costarika

Britney Spears is going on holiday with Mel Gibson. The pop singer and her father Jamie are heading to Costa Rica with Mel Gibson and his wife Robyn.

The quartet will stay at Mel Gibson home in the South American country and plan to return next week. Mel Gibson has visited Costa Rica several times and last year bought a house in Guanacaste, in north-eastern Costa Rica.

Britney Spears and Mel became friends after the singer was hospitalized in February. They met up several times but their friendship was only made public in mid-March when they were seen dining together in California.

A source at the time revealed: “Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible. There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It’s simply an act of human kindness – one neighbor reaching out to the other.”

Mel and Britney used to have homes in the same Malibu neighborhood.
