No, I think Mel's mercy mission on Britney's behalf is actually Mel's wife Robyn's mercy mission, and Mel has to go along with it because...well, that's what happens when you fuck up as bad as Mel has fucked up. If the wife wants to half-way adopt a wayward pop star, you just have to suck it up and write the checks.
I bet Mel's not too happy about having to foot the bill for Britney's little spiritual healing session though. "Two-hundred bucks for Cheetos. Who the fuck eats two-hundred dollars worth of Cheetos in four days?"
Let's just hope Mel is really only supporting his wife in this and is not in fact taking a personal interest in Britney's rehabilitation. Britney's life is bad enough without her becoming a Jew-hating Jesus-freak on top of it.
If she starts calling people "Sugar Tits," we'll know there's a problem.
