Justin Timberlake: I called Britney Spears

[sharon_b]

Justin Timberlake was so concerned about Britney Spears, who entered rehab in February, that he reached out to her, he has revealed.

"I called her because I worried about her," Timberlake, 26, said recently at a press day for his new movie Shrek The Third.

But Spears, who checked out of Malibu's Promises treatment center in March after nearly a month, is on the right track, Timberlake said.

"She's a great woman. I'm rooting for her," he said. "[It] seems like she's getting everything under control now."

Timberlake, who in January split with Cameron Diaz (his costar in Shrek, who also attended the press day), said being single has its ups and downs.

"The advantages are that you don't get in as many arguments, and the disadvantage is that you're talking to yourself," he said.

But he isn't exactly lonely. Timberlake spent time with Jessica Biel, 25, at a barbecue party at his L.A. house last week, PEOPLE reports in its new issue.

Things between the pair got "hot and heavy," says a source in the singer's circle.

This isn't the first time Timberlake and Biel have been spotted together: In January they went snowboarding with a group of friends in Park City, Utah, and hung out backstage at one of Timberlake's concerts in San Diego.

And at Prince's Golden Globes party that month, Timberlake and Diaz had a spat after Diaz saw Timberlake chatting with Biel.

As for Biel, when it comes to Timberlake, a source tells PEOPLE the actress is "crazy about him."

I honestly don't care for the Britney-Justin thing. I would rather he get back with Cameron. She seems far more intelligent, fun and sane and i thought they were cute together.

[aabbcc]

I thought you were 'far removed' from her? Make up your friggin' mind already!

[Laurent]

I'm confused because in this thread he acts like he can't be bothered with Britney and her nonsense.

Make up your mind, Trousersnake.

[DitaPage*]

If he didn't care, he wouldn't be calling. STFU already

[doriangray]

i thought he hated the bottom feeding scum that is the paps or whatever he was ranting about the other day. now he's crying on the phone, baring his soul. sheesh. cry me a river dude. i think he looks like a turnip anyway.

[Sojiita]

Just shut up Justin...and make some more gay music!!!

[msdeb]

... what goes around comes around

[Yoko Ono]

Justy sure is milking Britney for all the pap space he can get.
I preferred it when he didn't want to talk about her.
But then I guess he didnt have anything to promote then.

[DitaPage*]

He's not over Britney, if he was he wouldn't be talking about her,calling her, or writing songs about her.

Exactly. The dude is full of bullshit. Like other posters have said, he would not be still talking about her, writing songs about her, and CALLING HER, if he was "totally over her" & "so far removed from her".--PUH-LEASE, Dude. Trousersnake (heehee--love that nickname, Laurent; i always refer to him that way myself) is still in love with Britney. I've been convinced of that all along. He's still in love with her, AND he's still not over the hurt she caused him. (thus the songs, i.e. "What Goes Around Comes Around" that he's still writing about her.) GET OVER THAT BALD DRUGGY TRASHY WACKO ALREADY, TROUSERSNAKE!!!!

[VenusInFauxFurs]

I often call people I am so far removed from..sheesh :eyeroll:

[buttmunch]

I suppose it is actually acceptable and perhaps even admirable to walk away from a relationship yet remember that there were reasons why you cared for that person in the first place. I'm starting to think this guy is ok.

YEA, that's what I thought too.

He's probably too high to remember what stance he has officially taken.

[AKAMissy]

I agree with everyone else. Either you're 'far removed' from Trainwreck Spears or you're not.

Still, I like Justin...

[Picara]

He probably got tired of strangers yelling at him "Why aren't you helping Britney!" Maybe this will shut the Brit fans up. No, they'll probably be screaming for them to get back together. Don't do it Justin!
