Britney Takes a Vacation . . . With Mel Gibson?!

Thu, 05/15/2008 - 10:28am by PopSugar

Britney Spears has been working hard lately, from her trip to the recording studio last night to appearances on How I Met Your Mother, so it's no big deal that the pop star could use a little vacation. Here's the twist — according to ET she's on her way to Costa Rica right now with Mel Gibson! While this isn't the first time Brit and Mel have spent some time together, he still seems like a interesting choice of vacation buddies. The good thing is that Jamie is along to keep an eye on Brit, so maybe some fun in the sun is all she needs to recover from her little car accident this week.

She was starting to look good there for a while. When did her face get so puffy??

did you guys see those picture of her on X17 the other day...she really really looks pregnant...and I'm not one to normally jump on the pregnancy bandwagon just because someone looks really bloated one day...she looked for-real pregnant...maybe that's why her face is so puffy...strange..I really hope for her sake that its not true..Wow!
Or maybe she just gained a few pounds...we can all symphatize with that can't we?

Well at least she will be out of LA for a couple of days. As far as the pregnancy, I'm not sure what to think of that. The photo on X17 seemed like it had been photoshopped. For her sake though I really hope she is not pregnant! I won't even say anything about those boots! Haha!

random but o well! maybe the weight gain is because of meds? i mean i don't know if she is on medication or not. but certain meds definitely effect your weight. so maybe if she is on some medication its effecting her.

WTF happened to my BritBrit? She looks like she did when she was batshit crazy. I'm losing my faith in her comeback.

oh blob-- I think I lost faith in her comeback a long time ago. I truly think she is done. She's not well, she needs to focus on her health both mental and physical, not to mention getting her kids back on more then a "visitor" basis. I truly feel sorry for this woman - Her going bats**t crazy was not her fault, she was just a victim of her environment and her circumstance. I think any one of us would have gone nuts if we dealt with all that she did all this time

How does she look cute on HIMYM but in every other pic taken of her after that she looks like a completely different person. Now she looks fat and sloppy and just plain NASTY! She honestly looks like if you stood too close to her you could smell her stench! GROSS. If I were a guy I wouldn't give her the time of day, money or no money. You couldn't pay me to be around someone as loony as this piece of human waste.

Oh. My. Gods. What the hell happened? The last several posts she was looking slightly better each time, and this? It's a complete 180! I mean, I know we all have bad days, but wow.....

*lol* blob!! Mooriah! That's a great one! and married a teenager too, that's freakin funny..but true! Smiling

The only difference between them tho is that Mariah has actual singing talent...Britney never did. Which is not to say that she was not a talented performer because she was!

Love how she coordinates that metallic bag with the brown boots. No doubt that look will take off this summer!

With these two out of town, LA will be a lot less crazy this weekend.

Many medications used for mental illness cause you to gain weight. She's probably taking multiple meds. It would explain her constantly being at the gym, she's probably fighting against it.

I do feel bad for her. It really does seem like she's working on getting better. But the masses turn on her from day to day.

That photo that someone linked (the on where she looked really pregnant) looked photoshopped to me. I think she's experiencing weight fluctuation from meds. I feel really bad for her. It's sad, but the first thing I thought of in that first pic is that she reminds me of my grandmother. She had big sunglasses like that back in the late 80s/early 90s. I wish people would stop wearing those! They are not good on anyone!

It's a shame she just can't enjoy her success & her boys. If I had half the $, opportunity and time she has I'd be a pretty happy camper.

It interests me...all the talk of is she/isn't she coming back.

It seems like her fans are all like, "She's back, woo!" when she drops weight and washes her hair. If she gains weight, her fans give up.

I think she created a career for herself based not on MUSIC or performance, but solely on image. Her career prognosis looks great or grim depending on the girl's body. I almost feel sad for her, but she created it. I guess what depresses me most is the fact that her fans will like someone only when they look hot.

i dont mean to be rude or anything and i love britney, but considering all the "working out" she appears to be doing, why does it look like shes gained a lot of weight?

I mean pictures and tabloids are showing her at the gym everyday.... i dont get it.

Reese Witherspoon threw together a bohemian chic ensemble for an afternoon of shopping in LA. She casually paired an ikat miniskirt with a plain white tank and beige cardigan, while her gladiator sandals tied in nicely with her beaded necklace and cross-body Marni purse.
