Britney Spears Britney Spears OMG, you're seriously not gonna believe this.

But word on the street has it that Britney Spears has gone en vacances...

And her getaway pal is unexpected to say the least.

It's none other than 52-year-old Mel Gibson.

Yup, rumour has it that Brit has accompanied Mel and his wife on a beach break in Costa Rica.

An inside source told People: "There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It's simply an act of human kindness - one neighbour reaching out to the other." Mel Gibson 02.04Mel Gibson

It's difficult to envisage the trio kicking back in their flip-flops and sarongs together, but don't forget Brit's been spotted getting pally with Mel before.

The unlikely duo were seen taking in a bit of lunch along with some of Brit's friends in Studio City a while back.

So we're taking this as a happy extension of the blossoming mateship.

Bon voyage, youse two.
