Mel Befriends Britney

Posted Mar 16th 2008 2:50PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Mel Gibson and his family have very privately befriended Britney Spears to help her through her troubles.

The two were at Romanov Restaurant and Lounge in L.A. last night and according to one report they broke bread together. Our sources say Gibson, his wife Robin and their kids reached out to Britney during her darkest days and began seeing her.

We're told Mel and Robin feel like they know how tough it is to live in a fishbowl and they think they can help the Britster. There have been private dinners in which Mel, Robin and their brood have hooked up with Brit to give her support.

At Romanov's last night, Mel and Brit did not walk in or out together. Looks like Mr. Mel, unlike lots of other celebs, isn't into splashing his good deeds in the media. Nice.

46. Paulster,
After reading some of these asinine comments, I think my question was answered.

47. Raised Catholic
There are a lot of Catholics who are rich. Do you hate them too?

48. To "there is no god"

Before you have diarrhea of the fingertips, try to read s l o w l y, you might comprehend.

I'm Catholic, baptized, catholic school for 12 years, no meat on fridays Catholic and I ain't rich. My post was not about hating jews. F--k, why the hell am I wasting my time replying to you.

49. Its good to see that she can trust someone again. It doesnt matter what religion, or faith....its different strokes for different

folks.....whatever works for one....may not work for another.....and that is exactly why we have diversity.

I hope Mels family is nice....and that Brit feels good about herself again.

It would be nice to see her smiling again........and enjoying life .............

50. He's certainly better company than Lufti or Adnan, and much higher up the food chain. Good for him. Mel puts his money where his mouth is, and I see an honest effort to adhere to many tenets of his faith. Britney could use some fearless support from a few respected someones.

51. Blackwater is an ignorant pigs ass licker. I'll bet the Jew's aren't the only race you hate.

52. Remember Britney has been involved with Koballa.....pardon the spelling.....so my guess is Pa has been looking for anyone to get her off that thinking.....and who better than the man that spills hate about Jews............she can't have her own friends but they will pick people that they hope to influence her or bait her with 'get far away from that thinking and I can get you into a film her or there'..........who's the mess here!!!!! This woman is surrounded my morons who don't care about her, just care about themselves...........next will be an exersist.......I hope her sister is paying attention to all of this and gets far, far away from these people as soon as she can.......she's the next money they'll be pandering.

53. Blackwater, what I am is a member of the human race. You however, still drag your knuckles on the ground when you walk.

54. BLACKWATER? Are you married to a woman named Fran?

55. He is right to try and reach out. At leas he has a heart that is trying to help without any personal gain. Truly a rarity when it ocmes to Brit.

56. Ding Dang, Disliking (hating) another group or "race" of people does
not make a person a racist. Look the word up in you neighbor's dictionary
because I know you do not own one

Anyway the real reason Brit and Mel met is because they are going to open
up a restaurant next door to Britney's dad's restaurant when
he opens one up with the money he borrowed (stole)
from Britney

57. Its nice to see somebody in Hollyweird not need to be in the spotlight to do some good. Gosh, its amazing how mentioning a little religion can bring out the worst in some people--it's like somebody threw holy water on Briantologist. IT BURNS IT BURNS stop talking religion! He must've gotten his education from one of the many antireligion colleges we have in the U.S. You make a big deal over something Mel said in a drunken stupor. The truth is, and you al know it, about 90% of the people in the US have blurted out a racial statement or slur at least one time in their life, whether you like to believe it or not. Way to go Mel.
