Mel Gibson & Britney Spears: Seeing Each Other "Regularly"

Get your minds out of the gutter -- the source says that Mel's wife has played a big part in the new friendship, as well.

"Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible," said the insider. "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."

I guess that's nice -- it just seems weird.

"There are no expectations, there is no agenda," the spy insisted. "It's simply an act of human kindness – one neighbor reaching out to the other."

I just never thought of Mel Gibson as the "doing it out of the goodness of his heart" type of guy.
