The newly spurned friendship between Mel Gibson and Britney Spears has had many tongues wagging. It doesn’t quite make sense that their friendship is the result of neighborly goodness, the fact that Mel almost lives in her backyard is moot. Were that the real case, she would also be friends with George Clooney as well. So their recent getaway to Costa Rica had many rumors banding about the two. Some even speculated that the vacay was a spiritual retreat and that Mel was attempting to convert her to ‘his side’. Whatever the reason is, there is no question the whole thing is a little odd, no? It seems that Mel has just parlayed some insight into why he and Britney have such an unusual connection as zip codes are not the only thing these two have in common. Mel has just recently said that he too has bipolar disorder, just like Britney and so that perhaps may be the bond that ignited their friendship. Although he may share fame, substance abuse, and reckless behavior with the pop star, the disorder is what ties them together. He spoke recently about his highs and his lows, and was even recently video taped tearing out a fan for some seemingly small thing. And in fact, Mel has only just recently found out this news, so perhaps, the newly diagnosed are commiserating together. You know what they say, birds of a feather….
