Justin On Calling Britney: ‘I’m Rooting For Her’

Justin Timberlake was so concerned about Britney Spears’ recent problems, he has reached out to her, People reports.

“I called her because I worried about her,” Justin revealed to the magazine.

Thankfully, after completing her Malibu rehab stint, Brit is back on the right track, Justin added.

“She’s a great woman. I’m rooting for her,” he told People. “[It] seems like she’s getting everything under control now.”

Britney checked out of Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility in late March after a one-month stint.

The 25-year-old pop star entered the facility Feb. 22, after a bout of bizarre behavior that included shaving her head, getting tiny lips tattooed on her wrist and beating a car with an umbrella.

Britney has not disclosed why she sought treatment at Promises, which offers detox, counseling and 12-step programs. A 30-day stay at the Mediterranean-style villa tucked in the Santa Monica Mountains costs $48,000.

Meanwhile, Justin (who split from Cameron Diaz in January) said living the single life has its pros and cons.

“The advantages are that you don’t get in as many arguments, and the disadvantage is that you’re talking to yourself,” he joked with People during the press junket for “Shrek 3.”
