Britney stays at Mel's beach house
8:55am Saturday 17th May 2008
Mel Gibson and troubled pop star Britney Spears are on holiday at the actor's Costa Rica beach house.
Costa Rica's Channel 7 showed images of Spears, 26, driving an all-terrain vehicle with an unidentified woman and splashing in the ocean on the country's Pacific coast.
Channel 7 says Spears, her father, Gibson and Gibson's wife arrived on Thursday in the capital San Jose and then took a private plane to the country's Pacific coast where Gibson has a house.
Gibson has visited Costa Rica several times and last year bought a house in Guanacaste, in north-eastern Costa Rica.
Both Spears and Gibson lived in the same Malibu, California neighbourhood.
