Britney Spears' New Vacation Buddy: Mel Gibson

Trainwrecks make strange bedfellows - so to speak, that is.  I'm not suggesting there's anything of the romantic nature going on between Britney and Mel Gibson, because--ewww!  He's married and about 30 years older than her.  Plus, he's got like 45 kids and Brit can't even handle the two she has.

No, nothing shady going on there--just some good old, vacation-time fun!  That's right: Brit Brit and Mel--along with her father and his wife--have gone on holiday together.  The foursome are heading to Costa Rica, where they'll stay at Gibson's house for a few days.  I bet it's a great house.  I'm sure the bar is well-stocked.  What?

The two have apparently been pals for a little while, with the first sighting of them taking place back in March, when they had dinner together at a Russian restaurant in Studio City.  At the time a source told People magazine that they had met up a few times since Brit's February "issues." 

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

They also used to be neighbors when Britney was living in Malibu and the source said there's no agenda behind the friendship, just "one neighbor reaching out to another." 

Well, that's just great.  My neighbor keeps me awake at 3 a.m. with his guitar playing, while Brit's neighbor takes her to Costa Rica. 

Life really isn't fair.

Mel Gibson is Back

Mel Gibson has agreed to star in "Edge of Darkness," marking a return to the front of the camera for the first time since 2002. Martin Campbell will direct the feature adaptation of the six-hour 1985 BBC miniseries, which Campbell also directed.

Variety reports that Gibson will play a police investigator whose activist daughter is killed. As the character delves deeper into the case, he uncovers systemic corruption that led to his daughter's death.

Gibson's last feature roles were "Signs" and "We Were Soldiers," spending intervening years as a director, first on "The Passion of the Christ" in 2004 and "Apocalypto" in 2006.

Pairing up after their Oscar-winning "The Departed," William Monahan wrote the script for "Edge of Darkness" and Graham King is producing the film through his GK Films in Santa Monica, California.
