Pity poor Mel Gibson, who invested millions of dollars for the safety and privacy afforded by a mansion in a gated section of one of Southern California's most exclusive neighborhoods, only to have white trash move in next door and destroy his property values:

The gazillionaire, who lives next door to [Britney] Spears in a gated community in Malibu, California, is reportedly packing up his wife and 10 thousand kids and putting his $24 million mansion on the market to get away from the beleaguered pop star.

Spears, who has been visited by police and family services this year, also has a steady stream of fans gathering outside the gates.

"People are always hanging around outside the gates and he is worried his kids might get hurt," a source reportedly said.

We really can't blame Gibson for looking to relocate. No responsible homeowner could sit idly by as his home's value plummets because of the Ferrari up on blocks in the neighbors' driveway, the barefoot mother chasing her naked kids around the yard, and the unemployed dad's undesirable friends selling weed from the front porch.
