Mel Gibson is Cupid for Crazies

Mel Gibson tried to play matchmaker between his son and Britney Spears, it has been claimed.

According to American tabloid the National Enquirer, the 'Braveheart' actor tried to hook Britney up with one of his twin sons, Edward -- who was recently in rehab for cocaine and alcohol addiction.

Mel thought his son -- who has turned his life around since he was admitted to the Cri-Help rehab facility in Hollywood last year -- could help the troubled Toxic singer do the same.

A source tells the publication, "Mel felt Ed would be a great influence on Brit, and if the relationship turned into romance, all the better."

Mel then arranged a meeting between the pair at Britney's Hollywood Hills home last March, says the source.

"He sincerely believed that his son could help Britney stay on the straight and narrow and that they might hit it off as a couple as well," the source adds.

But Spears refused to see Ed, and hid from him and Mel as soon as they arrived at her house.

The source continues, "She hid from them for most of the night. Mel and his son spent most of their evening talking to her bodyguards!"

Though his matchmaking didn't work, Britney has been touched by his offers of support.

"Mel has become her close confidante," says the source. "Mel's helped out other stars, such as Robert Downey Jr. -- and he'd love to see Britney do as well as Robert has."

	Well, he definitely seems like her type. Britney needs to realize she can do better than what she's come to expect from men. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	that's the worst part. her family has a history of dating douchey guys. she's never seemed to reach for a better quality of man because it never occured to her she could do so or maybe even deserved to. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	This has to be the funniest thing I've read all day. "He sincerely believed that his son could help Britney stay on the straight and narrow and that they might hit it off as a couple as well," Right. (Reply to this)

	To post both of their mugshots is tasteless. Sure they both got into trouble, but it seems to me they moved on. And I don't care what anyone says, Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, and Apocalypto were excellent films. (Reply to this) (Thread)
