Britney Buddies Up with Mad Mel
Posted: Friday, July 23, 2010

What the Mel?!? We all knew Britney Spears was a tad, um, unstable... and apparently misery loves company. During his trying time of working out his issues with his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, Mel has turned to his partner in crazy, according to InTouch magazine. Brit and Mel may seem like an odd couple, but pre-conservatorship when Britney went off the deep end, Mel reached out his hand to the troubled pop tart, and this time, it wasn't balled up into a fist. Sources tell the tabloid, "Mel was one of the only people who reached out to help Britney when she was at her lowest point, and she believes that demonstrates what a loving and wonderful man he is. She wants people to give him a second chance -- just like he gave her one when everyone else turned away." Maybe she can recommend a good shrink to help him work out those anger management issues.
