Costa Rica did a world of good for Britney Spears, who is back in Los Angeles. She looks more relaxed than I’ve seen her in
a long time. After doing some legal work with Kevin Federline’s attorney to hammer out custody issues (no word on how that
went yet), Britney got dressed up in a black strapless dress (love the blue hem and the necklace!) and went out for dinner.

She ate at Il Sole with George Maloof - he owns the Sacramento Kings, Sacramento Monarchs and the Palms Hotel & Casino in Vegas. Uh, wow!

There was speculation that there was some romance blooming in Costa Rica at Mel Gibson’s ranch when Britney was seen with a young man on the beach, but maybe she’s not tying herself down to any one person just yet - was this dinner out a date, business, or just friendship? Who knows but good for her for enjoying life again!
