Mel Befriends Britney

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.

76. Yes, that is exactly the companionship a bi-polar poorly educated substance abuser with a large bank account requires; the resident Hollywood homophobic, racist, drunken, bigot - and let's not forget real Catholic not like the Pope - Mr. Mel "hey cop are you Jewish" Gibson. Britney just got away from those to Arab leaches, and now she has Gibson around? Where is her gaurdian?

77. Anyone who is silly enough to be voting for Clinton, and asking for a refund from Senator Obama on TMZ in ebonics, is probably too ignorant to simply go to the DNC or Obama website and simply ask for a refund because we have millions and millions of dollars and supporters - please take your money - Hillary and Bill and their supporters will be building a tent city in Australia after the primaries - I understand that when they do not get their way they throw tantrums and make up stories but in the end they are still LOSERS!

78. #81 (outoftowner): Dump on Mel all you like but I have never heard one negative thing about his kids. Are you confusing him with someone else? I just don't remember any Barron Hilton-esque antics or anything. Bail me out.

And Amen, Lorri # 83. K-fed is slimier than whale dung. Nothing will change that. He needs to go back with his first Baby Mamma who seems to defend him at every turn. There's a sucker for ya, but he will never find anyone who seems to so blatantly adore him as Shar.

it's been some time now. so have you had the time to see the stupidity of your post?
i know we all make mistakes, but i noticed you didnt even come back to acknowledge
that the very thing you are complaining about is the person that you are?

you are a racist who took an unfair at a certain group of people based on race.

85. Senator Obama is not a racist and neither is Senator Clinton and neithe is Senator McCain. The very idea that to propogate such inane banter on the internet as Senator Clinton's supporters have been doing from the start:stealth Muslim (failed), Tony Rezko (failed), not a good Christian (failed), not a commander-in-chief (failed), and the list is endless - but the latest and funniest is racist - and that will fail as well - because while you and the other uneducated, unread, Clinton supporters are on TMZ reading about Brittney and Mel, the rest of America is worried about our stock market collapsing tommorrow morning - and guess who set up the loose restrictions for the bankers and traders - your friend and mine President and renowned liar Wiliam Jefferson Clinton and his lovely blushing bride Hillary the former lead counsel for Walmart. Have a nice trip back to LOSERVILLE after the convention - President OBAMA 2008.

86. This woman is disgusting! No one should go near her! She is career sabotage! No better than a paid prostitute for her disgusting behavior.

88. Good for Mel Gibson reaching out to Britney. Let's hope those crazy Scientologists, don't get they claws on her. That Sam Luti needs to stay away from Britney. I suspect that creepy Larry Rudolph, her former manager, misdirected Britney's path in Hollywood in more ways than one! That guy, was a real creepy looking CREEP. She needs to stay away from him, as well. Her family is the support system she needed all along. Now she has it :)

Poor Mel, having to deal with the Jewish Entertainment community and otherwise, with their "attempts" to demonize him. Why is it the Jews can't let something go?! Why? The whining, has got to stop. Every other ethnic group has been wronged in this world. Just because you're louder than most, doesn't mean your plight is harder than others. Yes, the World, knows about the Holocaust, we are reminded of it each day!

I for one, will continue to encourage and support Mel Gibson, because he's a GREAT filmaker -- period.

BTW, just for the record, I've newly discovered, I might be Jewish, too. Doesn't matter, whining is whining and we all know what group is best at that annoying characteristic.

Forgiveness is a great spiritual healer for everyone to practice. Yes, that message was directed to Jew -- I mean YOU *wink* Now, don't go off! It's joke.

90. Mel Gibson has more than attoned for his fanaticism? How much have had to drink this evening? That racist, homophobic, bigoted, lying hypocrite has never contacted a single person in the Jewish community to make ammends, he has never contacted the Catholic community to make ammends, and he never will because he is a pathological liar. For example, he told the scree writer for the "Passion of the Christ" that no one was making anything on the movie, and so the man took very little payment considering a relgious mission - well guess what - Mel was LYING - he made over $100 million and now a lot of people are suing. Gibson and his father make the Ku Klux Klan look like a bunch of smurfs in comparison. But, hey its okay right because he is only picking on the Jews,and those pesky Arabs, oh yeah and that Pope guy, and oh yeah that black cop, and oh yeah there was that woman, and oh yeah basically anyone who doesn't agree with him and his dad are going to hell.

Well, Mel if you are going to be in heaven and all of those other people are going to be in HELL,than pass me the sun tan lotion you lying sack of drunken cheating brain dead bigoted Australian garbage - I am going to dance with the Devil.
