Britney Spears and Mel Gibson

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are going away to Costa Rica together! Yea, I don't understand it either! People Magazine reports:

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are headed to Costa Rica where they will vacation with the singer's father and Gibson's wife, a source tells PEOPLE.

"They're just going away for a few days to relax," says a source.

The group plan to stay at Gibson's Costa Rican home. They will be back early next week.

The unlikely pair were first spotted together back in mid-March when they dined at Russian restaurant Romanov in Studio City. However, it wasn't their first meeting. Gibson and Spears and their families met a number of times after the pop star was hospitalized in February, a different source told PEOPLE at the time."

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson going away to Costa Rica together? How weird is that!? Is this some sort of strange swingers getaway with Britney, Mel and his wife, and Britney's father!? I don't understand that. But hey, maybe Britney and Mel have some sort of troubled celebrity rehab connection and they're just looking to bond a little bit. Hell, they might even fix up a few vodka-percocet cocktails in a nice consequence-free environment and catch up! Every once in a while these celebrities just have to let go and enjoy themselves... I mean, you know what I always say, when things get tough... just go to Costa Rica with Mel Gibson! That always makes me feel better!

Britney out and about just a couple of days ago:
