These days, Britney Spears has traded her random late night meanderings for a strict regimen of exercise and staying out of trouble. And yesterday she took a break to do some shopping.
The “Gimme More” songstress was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills, California combing the racks at the celebrity-popular Lisa Kline Boutique.

Well not that kind of Cheetah Girl, but check out her ride!
We spotted the Spice Girl and her hubby Stephen Belafonte outside of Hollywood hotspot Villa last night in this leopard (or is it cheetah?) limousine. Hey, at least she didn't coordinate her outfit to her car, otherwise she might have landed on our fashion don't list!
Mel B in a leopard limo? What's next, Heidi and Spencer in a zebra stretch Escalade? We all know how much she loves zebra print!

On vacation with actor Mel Gibson at his secluded ranch in Costa Rica, Britney Spears strapped on her two-piece bikini and hit the beach with friends on a Friday afternoon outing in paradise.
According to an eyewitness, “Britney looked relaxed as she sunbathed, ran into the water to play in the heavy waves and drove an ATV around the sand.”
Ever since Britney Spears began having personal difficulties, Mel Gibson has been a source of support and encouragement for her. And now he’s taking her on vacation.
That’s right, the “Gimme More” singer will be joining the “Passion of the Christ” filmmaker at his Costa Rican home this weekend, along with her father and Mel’s wife.
A drunken racist and a bipolar hillbilly board a private plane. It sounds like a bad joke, but it's just Mel Gibson and Britney Spears flying to Costa Rica for the weekend! Mel Gibson is treating Britney and her dad and conservator Jamie to a weekend away at his house there. Check out the video.
Britney can't bring her sons, because she can not leave with the country with them without special approval. It wasn't known if she applied for that or not, but they definitely aren't with her.
Mel and Britney share the burden of huge amounts of negative press coverage as they have both had very public meltdowns. They used to live in the same gated community in Malibu and dined together in March at Studio City's Romanov restaurant. Please please please tell me these two aren't sleeping together. Or tell me they are because that would provide a buttload of snark.

Mel Gibson seems to have taken a few lessons on how to drive recklessly from his new buddy, Britney Spears, and was spotted by the paparazzi, text-messaging behind the wheel. However, compared to the most outrageous of his driving offenses, this looks like a pretty minimal offense.
From that unimpressed look on his face, I would hazard a guess that his text messages are riddled with a fair amount of asterisks and exclamation points, but at least this time, he's keeping any reference to "sugartits" under the radar.

More photos of Mel Gibson texting around town after the jump.
Mel Gibson didn't look particularly thrilled when we spotted him refueling his car out in Malibu yesterday afternoon. Hey, we can't blame him - after all, with gas prices hitting record highs, we hate filling up too!
At least Mel's looking well - he might have even lost a few pounds since last we saw him!
Ever considered a hybrid, Mel?
Designers, hairstylists, A-listers, dancers, musicians, supermodels and just about everyone has publicly professed to wanting to help Britney Spears in her time of need. For some reason she chose to accept Mel Gibson’s help instead of taking an offer from any of those other eminently more qualified famous people and I find that baffling. Maybe the last DVD she rented featuring Gibson was Lethal Weapon and his bare ass was just so cute that she completely ignored the anti-semitic drunken violent film-making years.
Everyone was scratching their head when the news came out that Britney had dinner with Mel the other night, and now there’s news that she’s been seeing him secretly for some time. Supposedly Mel and his wife wanted to help Britney and thought they could be of service, even though they don’t have the best track record with their own kids, considering that one of their 25 year-old twins was in rehab late last year and the other one chalked up his first DUI in 2005. Then there’s Mel’s fragile sobriety which he doesn’t exactly look like he’s been maintaining.
As random as this story sounds, Britney and Mel were neighbors back in Malibu, which may give him an edge over all those other people who could potentially help her without trying to get her to join a cult:
The pair and their families have met a number of times since Spears checked out from her second hospitalization last month, a source tells PEOPLE.
“Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible,” the source says.
“There’s just a handful of people in the world who understand the kind of intense attention that Britney goes through, and how to raise a family with some semblance of privacy and how to keep one’s family intact and out of the limelight,” the source adds.
“There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It’s simply an act of human kindness – one neighbor reaching out to the other.”
Gibson and Spears used to be neighbors when the singer previously lived in Malibu.
[From People.com]
What bothers me about this story is that Mel Gibson is a freak who probably hasn’t conquered or even subdued his demons, and he’s also a religious zealot who follows a fringe group of Catholicism that even staunch Catholics consider strange. Unlike other stars that need not be pointed and laughed at again, Gibson hasn’t really proselytized to the press, except to release that torture porn film about how Jesus died and the Jews were responsible for it. Maybe he doesn’t try to convert his friends, and will share whatever non-religious tactics worked for him to get his life back on track. I would assume that involves the art of living well on the interest from millions and millions of dollars.
At least Britney and her family are talking to someone who can, uh, help them. And if you just consider his early body of work he’s a fine choice.
Here’s Gibson’s butt from Lethal Weapon, thanks to Yes But Not Yes.
He’s at the center of the Britney Spears breakdown controversy, and Sam Lutfi is expected to be legally kept from seeing the pop singer for yet another month.
The temporary restraining order on Lutfi was scheduled to expire today, but Jamie and Lynn Spears have taken measures to extend it for 30 days.

Neither Mel Gibson nor Britney Spears is a stranger to controversy. So when the two dined together this weekend, people took notice.
Gibson and Spears met at the upscale Russian restaurant, Romanov, where they dined and visited for two hours.
The meeting has everyone wondering, what could the two possibly be discussing?
A source told OK! magazine that it’s likely that Mel is simply giving Britney some advice on how to handle negative press. “He understands what she’s going through. And he certainly has advice on how to not let it destroy your life.”
It’s also rumored that Mel may be trying to persuade Britney to join his conservative church in Malibu, the Church of the Holy Family. Britney has a past of being fickle when it comes to religion.
In 2006 Mel said of Britney, “I feel compassion for someone like Britney. She never gets a moment. Your heart goes out to her because I’m positive that, at her core, she’s a good woman.”
When I first saw these pictures of Mel Gibson holding a cigarette while he was pumping gas, I have to admit I got a little enjoyment out of it. But then I realized the cigarette was not lit and all the enjoyment was gone.
But seriously how badly did he need cig that he had to hold an unlit one in his hand while he is pumping gas?
The Braveheart star left a Malibu court today with a mighty happy grin on his face - as well he should!
While Mel Gibson still has 18 months left on his 36-month probation - following a July 2006 DUI slash anti-Semitic outburst - X17 just got off the phone with the court spokesperson, who informed us that the judge "has not scheduled any more future court appearances."
Guess the judge was impressed enough with Mel's turnaround to let him off the hook! Unless, of course, he pulls a stunt like this again.
Good luck, Mel - and no more drunken tirades!
As if profiting off his religious peers wasn't enough, Mel Gibson is now being sued by the writer of his 2004 huge movie hit, "The Passion of the Christ." Benedict Fitzgerald says that Mel originally claimed that "because he was so rich" he would fund the film himself and not take any of the profits, dividing them between the rest of the people who worked on the film.
The suit documents go on to say that Benedict thinks he was hired because of his faith in Christianity and enthusiasm for the project, later allowing Mel to exploit him and their shared beliefs. Benedict was promised a $75,000 production bonus, but allegedly only received the money after allowing Mel to share the writing credit.
Now Benedict is suing for fraud breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith, unfair business practices and unjust enrichment -- all for a whopping $5 million.
Mel's attorney George Hedges made a statement saying "the charges are baseless," and that Benedict was more than fairly compensated.

Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger were once very close. The two bonded while shooting the film ‘The Patriot’ where Ledger played Gibson’s son.
However, that all changed after Ledger took a role in the controversial gay film, ‘Brokeback Mountain’.
Private investigator Paul Barresi claims that a “major Hollywood producer” told him that Ledger asked Gibson for advice about the role and Mel told him to pass. When Ledger went ahead with the film Gibson wasn’t too happy about it.
“Ledger asked Gibson whether he should take the role of Ennis Del Mar in ‘Brokeback’. Gibson strongly counseled against it. The role apparently ran counter to Gibson’s morality. And he felt that it would ruin Heath’s career.”
“When Gibson parted ways with Heath, it broke his heart,” claims Barresi.
Ironically, Ledger received an Oscar nomination for the edgy role. When asked why he accepted it, the late actor replied, “it was kind of a reaction against the comparison that I’m the new Mel Gibson.”
‘Tis the season for random serenading! And Spice Girl Melanie Brown was spotted with her hubby, singing to shoppers in Selfridge, followed by a trip to Cipriani.
Perhaps she was trying to improve her public image. Apparently there were quite a few mothers at the Spice Girls’ opening night gig in London that didn’t approve of what their children were subjected to, courtesy of Mel.
It’s back to mother England for the Spice Girls, as they kicked off the much-anticipated UK leg of their comeback tour on Saturday night.
The band opened the first of a 17 night run at London’s O2 arena, telling the audience, “It’s so good to be home.”
Doesn't Mel Gibson's face look like he had one drink too many in that picture? Either that or he is starting to look his age around 60 something? Oh wait he is only 51, guess he has been pickled?

Spice Girls fans that couldn’t get into their Wednesday night show at the Los Angeles Staples Center got a second chance to see Melanie Chisholm perform last night at The Mint.
And most of the Spice family was there to support her. Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham and her hot hubby David were in the audience cheering Mel on.
Yesterday was a big day for “Dancing With The Stars.” They’re in the final round of the season, and the Spice Girls also happened to drop by to support their bandmate Melanie Brown.
Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Victoria Beckham, and Geri Halliwell all showed up in a black Cadillac Escalade to cheer Brown on.
Dancing with the Stars is about to wrap another season, and it all seems to come down to either Marie Osmond or the spicy Mel B. - but who'll win? Mel B. wins either way, what with the Spice Girls tour about to kick off, but with a body (and moves) like that, it's likely she'll win on the show as well!
How popular is Dancing? SO popular that Celine Dion - who performs on Tuesday - hopes they "invite me to dance. I'd love to!"
I liked Jennie Garth, myself!

TMZ.com: Last night, paps wished Mel B a happy birthday as she left a celebratory stop at Hyde. Mel was confused -- probably because she was born May 29. Oh well, at least she's going on to the "Dancing" final. Happy birthday, Mel! Related Awkward Moments... Read more
This is going to make me sound completely un-American, but the only sports my boyfriend forces me to watch are rugby and hockey--oh wait, maybe he's the one who's un-American. You hear that, Dubya? It's him, not me. Unlike me, however, Hollywood celebrities like Mel Gibson, Andy Garcia, Ellen Pompeo and her new hubby, Chris Ivery, have been enjoying themselves supporting the Los Angeles Lakers, while I have been learning that a special kind of mullet appears to be all the rage for New Zealand rugby players--information I often use to entertain at cocktail parties. Although he appears subdued in these pictures, I bet Mel Gibson does some pretty thorough, well-researched trash-talking as a fan berating the opposing team--at least he probably used to.

Mel B backstage (11/13)
I swear, is there a more paranoid group of people than trannies? Hello, duct tape? No one’s gonna see your tuck if you use duct tape. How do you think the Williams’ sisters have been dominating tennis for the past decade? 50% XY chromosomes, 40% duct tape, 10% ability.
What a d!ck. Maybe Mel Gibson thought they were Jewish and that is why he didn’t sign their autographs. There was absolutely no reason why he couldn’t sign those two autographs. Jerk.
The Spice Girls are slowly but surely making their way to Los Angeles in preparation for their big reunion tour kickoff on December 2nd in Vancouver.
On Saturday, Melanie Chisholm was spotted arriving at LAX airport with enough luggage for a small army. And just a day later, fellow Spice Girl Geri Halliwell flew into the Los Angeles airport with baby Bluebell Madonna in her arms.
After an eventful evening on Dancing With the Stars, Mel B took the party over to Hyde with her partner Maksim as well as her "Mum" Andrea! Mel looked so hot in that figure-hugging dress, that she must have temporarily dazzled a photog, who got his camera strap stuck in her car! After much pleading (and even more embarrassment), Mel eventually gave the guy his camera back -- but she had no money to give the homeless man who approached her window! Ya'd think with her upcoming sold-out Spice Girls Tour, she could afford to be generous!
Mum's so cute!
And Mel's lookin hot, y'all! Can you believe she just had a baby not too long ago?
To say that the tickets to the Spice Girls Reunion Tour are selling like hotcakes would be an understatement. In fact, they’re selling out venues so quickly, promoters are begging and pleading for additional dates. And the 5 ladies from the UK are happy to oblige.
With the initial dates selling out in a matter of seconds, the “Wannabe” singers have added additional dates at the O2 Arena in London. Now, Geri, Emma, Victoria, Melanie, and Melanie are performing on December 15, 16, 18, as well as January 2, 15, and 16.

Mel Gibson was caught out having fun in Bali bar according to The Sun. A witness told the paper in an interview:
Resident Diana Shearin said: “I thought, ‘Holy Cocktail — it’s Mel Gibson!“Within seconds he was the centre of attention, surrounded by gorgeous young women.
“He was laughing and seemed to be having the time of his life.
“He was very congenial actually, but he looked like he had been partying hard — nothing like the suave, smooth-looking dude you see in the movies. His minders weren’t keen on anyone taking pictures.”
Sounds like and looks like he is back to his old ways, you know the ones that made him a household name again in a bad way.

After spending the past few months publicly feuding with “deadbeat dad” Eddie Murphy, Melanie Brown has turned things around and is embracing a positive outlook on life.
The Spice Girl was all smiles as she made her debut on the hit ABC show ”Dancing With The Stars“ last night. Wearing a leopard-print ensemble, Mel B “cha-cha-cha’d her way to an impressive 24 as she shook her curvy, new-mom body with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.”
She’s getting ready for the comeback tour of the decade (sorry to all Police fans) and enjoying her new marriage and new baby, but Melanie Brown may have some explaining to do.
In a new report, Christa Parker, a 26-year-old sex toy saleswoman claims that she and the Spice Girl got it on regularly for two years. The two met at their children’s school in Los Angeles.
The state of California certainly thinks he is - according to the Daily News, the Oscar winner is officially done with his AA meetings! The news must have been a relief to Mel, who's spent the last year attending between three and five meetings a week. Hopefully Mel's spent this time on some soul-searching and self-improvement - after all, if he thinks they threw the book at him hard this time, just imagine what the system will have him doing if he gets hammered behind the wheel again!
Let's hope Mel was able to work on his anger issues, too!
(WENN)
As a result of his drunk driving arrest incident, part of Mel Gibson's probation included regular attendance of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and as of yesterday, Gibson's attendance of those meetings will no longer be considered mandatory. From the New York Daily News:
"The AA meetings are no longer under his probation's conditions," a spokeswoman with the district attorney's office said.I wonder if Mel ever wore costumes to meetings so that he might actually get some anonymity. If he did, I really hope that he used the face make-up required for "The Man Without a Face." Or at least wore an eye-patch. Wear an eye-patch, Mel. Wear a funky, funky eye-patch.
Did Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri get married?
The 41-year-old is thought to have wed the music producer in front of friends and family on Saturday afternoon.
A source had earlier told MediaTakeOut.com: “Janet wants very much to keep the event private. So don’t expect anything over the top. It will be small - only have close friends and family - and definitely no one from the media will be invited.”
The couple have been dating since 2001 and Dupri, 34, worked with Jackson on two of her albums.
Jermaine Dupri is denying he secretly married janet Jackson in a ceremony Saturday – which he would, wouldn’t he? It’s meant to be a secret.
But Dupri says, “When Janet and I get married, everybody will know. It’s not something I want to keep a secret. I’m going to promote it like a party.”
Aw, that’s sweet.
Janet Jackson has married twice before in secret, to James DeBarge and Rene Elizondo Jr, so I don’t believe a word of Dupri’s denials. Actually, one of Janet’s previous marriages was annulled, so she got married once and the second time, er, had a faux ceremony? Anyway, two secret wedding things.
Her breast exposure at the Superbowl also topped a list of celebrity scandals compiled by Entertainment Weekly.
JANET JACKSON’s infamous breast-baring wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl has topped a list of celebrity scandals. The singer was performing a duet with Justin Timberlake during half-time at the American football final when she accidentally flashed a breast. Second on the list, compiled by editors at American magazine Entertainment Weekly, is Mel Gibson’s anti-Semitic outburst during his July 2006 drink-driving arrest. At three is the 1992 U.S. TV appearance by Irish singer Sinead O’Connor, who infamously tore up a picture of the late Pope John Paul II during a performance on Saturday Night Live. The top five is rounded out by Hugh Grant’s 1995 arrest for engaging in “lewd conduct” with prostitute Divine Brown in Los Angeles, and Michael Jackson dangling his son Prince Michael II over a hotel balcony in Berlin, Germany in 2002.
You know what’s missing from the scandal list? Madonna. Wasn’t she scandal queen? Remember before she had children, and just got in hot water over their controversial fathering/adopting, she released two albums titled Erotica and Bedtime Stories (no sign of the three little pigs here, which is really about getting eaten by a wolf and not children’s fare at all…).
Anyway, she also released the Sex book, made a music video featuring S&M, masturbated on stage with an Puerto Ricon flag (much ruder than a nipple slip, I think) and fellated a vodka bottle on her Truth or Dare film.
Get in line Janet Jackson. Actually, somewhere ahead of you, wouldn’t there be you brother Michael’s child molestation charges? Much more controversial than a bit of nipple.
We certainly don't think so! Sure, Stephen Belafonte may have a history of losing control of his emotions, but he seems to have them under control these days. Just look at these pix of the B's from last night - everything we saw of the couple seemed to back up Mel's statements to Hello! Magazine!
Hey, he makes Mel happy!
We like hugs, not thugs!
Admittedly, domestic violence isn't something that's superficially obvious, and you can expect us to pull a fully-justified 180 on Stephen if he ever lays a hand on Mel - but for the moment, we're willing to B-lieve her claims!
The next installment of drama surrounding Eddie Murphy and Mel B’s past relationship involves another lawsuit. However, this time it’s Eddie suing Mel, claiming extortion and defamation.
The heart of the argument revolves around a difference of opinions concerning Eddie’s legal responsibilities to the child he fathered, as well as how Mel is releasing information to the media regarding the situation.
It’s been a summer of amazing celebrity weddings, and adding to the number of happy couples tying the knot are Melanie Brown and producer Stephen Belafonte.
The pair exchanged vows in a secret ceremony in Las Vegas. And according to the marriage license, it was about two months ago, June 6th.
Well, there ya go! Mel B. has certainly been in the media a lot lately, due to either the Spice Girls reunion or the Eddie Murphy baby drama - remember when she lunched with his ex last week? And now she's gotten married to her boyfriend, music producer Stephen Belafonte... of course, this happened back in June in Vegas! Brown's rep said that "the two are very happy together." Mel B. was supposed to be on Larry King Live tonight, but dropped out due to illness. Can't wait to see that interview!
Congrats to the happy couple!
Wonder what Eddie Murphy thinks of all this!
