Britney Spears appeared in a bikini this week on a Costa Rican beach. She was on a mini-vacation with her dad… and Mel Gibson? (There’s a joke here, but I’ll let Ty tell it later.)

A bikini-clad Britney Spears got her picture taken this weekend while relaxing and soaking up the sun on a Costan Rican beach where she was reportedly staying at actor Mel Gibson’s property.
“She did it again,” the La Nacion daily said Sunday in a play on Spears’ 1999 chart-busting hit “Oops! … I Did It Again.”
“At five minutes to midday (Saturday), the artist appeared on scene on an ATV (all terrain vehicle) driving from the home of Mel Gibson, who invited her to spend a few days in Costa Rica” at his 163-hectare (402-acre) spread in the Pacific coast resort town of Samara, the daily said.
The story included several photos of the troubled pop star on Barrigona beach, in a bikini and sunglasses.
Spears was in the company of her father, Jamie Spears — who apparently told the paparazzi they could shoot all they wanted as long as they kept at a 50-meter (yard) distance — and a young couple, the daily said.
Gibson or his wife, Robyn Moore, were nowhere to be seen, it added.

And now WAY too many pictures. What’s my deal today?
