Britney Spears had dinner with Mel Gibson on Saturday night.

The troubled singer met the 'Braveheart' actor at Los Angeles' Romanov restaurant where they ate filet mignon steak as they talked for two hours.

A restaurant insider said: "It was exciting to have both of them here together. We heard they hit it off and that Britney seemed excited."

Britney, 26, wore jeans, a green top and boots for the dinner date in the restaurant's private dining room.

She was accompanied by her close friend Victoria, while 52-year-old Mel brought along some of his own pals.

Meanwhile, 13 employees at California's UCLA Medical Center have been fired after illegally revealing details of Britney's stay two months ago. Britney was taken to the hospital's psychiatric ward for an evaluation after refusing to return sons two-year-old Sean Preston and 18-month-old Jayden James to husband Kevin Federline. Six other people have been suspended while a further six doctors face disciplinary action.

Medical records relating to the birth of Britney's second child Jayden were also leaked from the hospital.

Jeri Simpson, the director of human resources at the UCLA Medical Center in Santa Monica, said: "It's not only surprising, it's very frustrating and it's very disappointing."

"I feel we do everything we possibly can to ensure the privacy of our patients and I know we feel horrible that it happened again."
