(May 15) -- What you are about to read is not a figment of your imagination: Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are vacationing together in Costa Rica at this very moment.

ETOnline is reporting that the troubled pop diva and the rehabbed actor hopped on a plane on Thursday morning and are heading to the South American country, where they'll stay at the 'Passion of the Christ' director's home there. Tagging along with the megastars is Britney's father Jamie.

ET reports that Spears and Gibson go back to the days when they both they lived in the same Malibu community. The pair recently made headlines when they were spotted at dinner together at a Russian restaurant in Los Angeles back in March.

it sure looks like she is turning into a real porker.

I think Mel will be great for Brit! She is lucky to have so many people who care for her!

I think we should pray for Britney Spears, that the Lord will change her life. Our youth need a much better leader than what he has exhibited. She is like all of us. She needs Jesus Christ and if she has a personal encounter with Him her life will be changed. I pray for her that the Lord will reveal Himself to her. She has been beaten up enough by many who have no right to cast stones. Pray for Britney

The Celebs do it for publicity, and the "shadow government " wants the public to be obsessed with celebs, to keep their mind off of what the government is doing, or not doing.

Believe me I am no Britney Fan , but i do feel bad for the way the media and paparazzi hound these people. I think anyone would crack if you had to deal with that abuse every time you left your house. Why do you think half of Hollywood is a lttle nutty. Stop buying those silly magazines!!! They are such a waste of money.

That's the world we live in now. Judge everyone, laugh at their downfalls, feel superior and never really look at your own imperfections. Ugly, very Ugly ppl with Ugly attitudes.

Let those of you who have NEVER made a mistake or had any type of problem...cast the first stone...otherwise...observe and hear what you are reading. Mel is a wonderful father..he is a good husband..he just had a problem with alcohol..and he got the problem resolved..so who better to TRY and help someone else with the problem or any other problem...than someone who HAS been thru the ordeal themselves...shhheeeezzzz..grow up...too bad there hasn't been anyone to help with a lot of the negativity problem many (not all) of you have in this comment section. The whole world has problems...so what ?..we just sit back and let them handle themselves...I think not...we try and made this old world a better place...well some of us do anyway.

I think it is great that he is offering his experience and knowledge of the disease of bipolar and addiciton. I am in recovery now and I know the impact of having someone understand how our crazy minds work. Good luck Brit. I survived a meth addiciton for five years and I feel she is trying and on the right track.

It's amazing how many of you folks are ready to "cast the first stone". Mel Gibson is a good, decent family man who happened to make a bad choice when drinking. He has paid for that mistake and has moved on. Helping another human being seems to me a much more noble, selfless act than reporting it with a sleezy slant, as has been done here. Here's a novel thought; why not get a life of your own instead of using up your time and ours bashing someone else. Seems that Brit just might be making some good choices in her life for a change, and we all should applaud her for that. Afterall, the longest of journeys starts with that first step....

Mel and his family have alot to offer her and her Dad, I hear that Mel is a great Dad and loves his wife. He knows the presure she has been going through. People make such a big deal about her life. What good is it to make this into something that it is not. Stop reporting her every move and let her grow up.

Looks and sounds like a wonderful time. Good to hear her father is with her because I can only imagine what the rumors would be.

TWINKI519 11:31:07 PM May 19 2008

Mel and his family are just trying to show her what a stable family life is like.

JD429 11:25:49 PM May 19 2008

Mel Gibson is an icon just trying to get this girl back on the right path.
