Justin Timberlake and Pink are among the stars who have secretly been reaching out to show their support to Britney Spears as the pop singer battles substance abuse in rehab.
Friends claim Timberlake left a personal message for his ex-girlfriend after calling the Promises treatment centre in Malibu, California last week.
A pal tells America's Life & Style magazine, "He wished her the best and told her to get healthy and come back as the Britney he knew."
And Timberlake has asked Spears' mother Lynn to keep him updated with the Toxic singer's progress.
Pink and Mary J. Blige have also called Promises to leave messages for Spears, who, under the centre's rules, isn't allowed to receive phonecalls during her stay.

Britney Spears Crazy Rehab Demands
Troubled pop star Britney Spears has reportedly demanded an entire wing at the California rehab centre where she is undergoing treatment be cleared - for her privacy.
The TOXIC hitmaker, who was admitted to the Promises Clinic in Malibu last Tuesday (19Feb07) and re-admitted again on Thursday (21Feb07) after checking herself out the day before, doesn't want to mix with other patients, according to press reports.
An insider told British newspaper The Sun, "She wants all the rooms on her wing. It will cost her hundreds of thousands (of dollars)."
Spears was recently visited at the clinic by her estranged husband KEVIN FEDERLINE and their two sons SEAN PRESTON and JAYDEN JAMES.

Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson has no plans on leaving her longtime boyfriend now that she has made it big in Hollywood, because she knows he loves her for her true self.
Hudson has been dating childhood sweetheart James Peyton for seven years and the two are still madly in love.

Peyton is a maintenance engineer in Chicago, Illinois and Hudson claims she has no plans to date other men, because he makes her feel secure.

Britney Attempted Suicide Twice
Hours after creating a media frenzy by shaving her head, sources say the troubled star tried to take her own life by walking into traffic, only to be rescued at the last second by her staff.
But that wasn't the end of Britney's self-destructive impulses. A short time later she was rushed to a doctor after saying she was going to kill herself and then taking too many Xanax, say the sources.
Britney's emotional collapse was triggered by a "reconciliation" with estranged husband Kevin Federline — that was actually meant to be an intervention.
And when Kevin warned her that she'd fail a drug test and he'd get custody of their sons, a hysterical Britney went over the edge and ended up shaving herself bald while a crowd of spectators and photographers watched outside Esther's Haircutting Studio in Tarzana, California.
"After she shaved off her hair, Britney had a complete breakdown and tried to kill herself"

Kim Kardashian Finally Sues Over Her Sex Tape
The lawsuit, which cites "violation of right to privacy" and "right of publicity" was filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
In a statement to TMZ Kardashian says, "This tape, which was made three years ago, and was meant to be something private between myself and my then boyfriend is extremely hurtful not only to me, but to my family as well. I am filing legal charges against the company who is distributing this tape since it is being sold completely without my permission or consent."
TMZ spoke to Vivid Entertainment Co-Chairman, Steven Hirsch, who said, "We are very confident in our legal position."

K-Fed's Emergency Custody Hearing Without Britney
TMZ has learned that Kevin Federline has asked a judge for an emergency hearing on Thursday to discuss his custody dispute with estranged wife Britney Spears.
A court spokesperson says only K-Fed and his attorney are scheduled to appear before the judge, but adds "anything is possible."
Federline filed papers in November seeking spousal support and sole custody of the couple's children- 5-month-old Jayden James and 17-month-old Sean Preston. As TMZ previously reported, a temporary court order granted the couple joint custody, with Spears having primary physical custody of the boys.
Now, with Spears' recent erratic behavior, coupled with the fact that she's been in and out of rehab twice in the last week, all bets may be off.

Pairs Hilton Has No Friends, No One Showed Up At Her Birthday Party
Paris Hilton didn't invite her best friend Kim Kardashian to her 26th birthday party in Las Vegas because she was afraid Kim's sex tape would distract from hers. A source says: "She didn't want Kim on the red carpet stealing her thunder." Unfortunately, even the people who were invited didn't show up as she got stood up by A-list celebrities and even her friends. Sources say there were no names there except her sister, and at one point Paris announced on a microphone that Nicole Richie was "on her way" but Richie never showed up.
But even without many boldfaces, things at the after-party at the Penthouse Suite got a little odd. After downing TY KU liquor and bottles of Dom Perignon, guests reported seeing Hilton play with a monkey while a band of midgets led a pack of goats around the room.
