Mel Gibson has offered his support to Britney Spears as she fights media reports about her wild partying, reported drug use, and all her panty-free nights. The movie mogul, who made headlines when he was arrested for drink driving in July - and then unleashed an anti-Semitic rant at the Jewish officer who pulled him over - insists he can sympathize with the pop princess.

He says, "I feel compassion for someone like Britney, for instance. She never gets a moment. She's, like, dogged all the time and followed and she's trying to have a life. Your heart goes out to her because I'm positive that, at her core, she's a good woman."
