BRITNEY SPEARS - SPEARS PLANS TROPICAL GETAWAY WITH GIBSON

BRITNEY SPEARS has accepted an invitation to join MEL GIBSON and his family at their Costa Rican home, according to reports.
The pop star and her father Jamie are rumoured to be heading to Central America with the 52-year-old Braveheart star and his wife Robyn.
A source tells America's People magazine, "They're just going away for a few days to relax."
The Gibsons and Spears, who are former California neighbours, have reportedly become close since the pop star's hospitalisation in February (08).
A source says, "Mel and his wife Robyn 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 neighbour reaching out to the other."
It's not the first time Gibson has come to the aid of a young star - earlier this year (08), the movie star dined with Lindsay Lohan and reportedly offered her advice about dealing with the media.
