BRITNEY AND MEL IN COSTA RICA. WTF.

Mel Gibson and Britney Spears took a private plane out of LA this morning to spend two days together in Costa Rica.

You could just mash your forehead into the keyboard and never come up with a more random sentence than that.  ET says…

We spotted them leaving on a private plane to the Central American state early this morning. Sources tell us that Mel is taking Britney and her father JAMIE for a mini-vacation. We've learned they will be guests at Mel's home in Costa Rica.  According to the terms of her custody Britney's children cannot leave the country without special approval. There is no confirmation as to whether she sought approval and we're told they are not joining her on the trip.  While the pop star and the actor may appear to be an unlikely duo, they used to live in the same Malibu community and were spotted having dinner together at Studio City's Romanov restaurant in March.

What are the odds Britney even knows they’re leaving LA.  Everything in LA sounds something like "Costa" or "Rica" and 90 percent of the signs are written in Spanish anyway.  She probably thinks they’re in Reseda.  And that "Costa Rica" is a restaurant.  Home of the 5 Pound Burrito!
