Back in March, we heard Malibu’s own Ken and Barbie, Mel Gibson and Britney Spears, were aligning their forces of stupidity for the greater good. But it was tough to figure out whether or not they were on a date or set to co-produce a new film starring each and every one of their split personalities. But thanks to recent reports, it sounds as though the partnership was neither love- or business-bound. They’re just two confused drunks trying to stay clean together! Master of sobriety Mel recently flew both Britney and her owner, father Jamie Spears, down for a vacation at his Costa Rican clam shack for some R&R. But why now? And more importantly, why does Britney keep hiding her newly rotund tummy from the paparazzi?

Sadly, our cinematic dreams of Britney Spears and Mel Gibson making movie magic together will remain dreams for now. The odd couple's meeting in LA over the weekend was neither a business meeting nor a date, according to a People source: "There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It's simply an act of human kindness - one neighbor reaching out to the other." Maybe it's just us, but we're not exactly sure Britney needs a life counselor who's an alleged neo-Nazi, let alone one who's fond of calling lady cops Sugar Tits. Then again, he does have two years of sobriety under his belt. That and he's surely got it a bit more together than Michael Lohan. We guess you gotta take what you can get in these trouble-laden times. [People]
When it comes to summoning two powerful talents together into a pitch room with the hopes of making celluloid magic, one would have to be on some seriously strong behind-the-counter cold medicine (you know, the kind they make you sign for) to even dream of putting Britney Spears and Mel Gibson together in lights. However, cameras caught the two seemingly non-connected stars having a business meeting together in Malibu over the weekend. Spears, who's recently updated her weave to a state of barely secure chocolate pieces, arrived "conservatively" dressed in a tight green turtleneck and tighter jeans and was refreshingly mellow for the cameras; no trace of an English accent or improvised joke (even after ducking into the wrong restaurant). But Mel, ever the charmer, hustled through the backdoor.
