The Internet is abuzz today with rumors that Justin Timberlake recently called his ex, Britney Spears, to express his concern over her health and wish her well. So far, I haven’t seen a single credible source to support this phone call. A teen magazine called “Twist” reportedly broke this story, but I couldn’t find it anywhere on the Twist website. Here is one version of the rumor:
After more than three years of not having contact with Britney Spears, the singer Justin Timberlake spoke for the first time with his ex- girlfriend.
Justin was worried about Britney’s health, and called his ex- father-in-law Jamie Spears, Jamie was dining with Britney at the Katsui restaurant.
According to Twist magazine Jamie gave the call to his daughter.
Britney asked her dad, “Are you sure he wants to talk to me?”
“She was very excited and shaking, ” said a witness.
There are a lot of things wrong with this- most blatantly, Jamie Spears was never Justin’s father in law. Secondly, if Justin truly is concerned about his ex, why would he wait until now to reach out to her? I think this is wishful thinking on those fans who still think Justin and Britney belong together. And finally, if this alleged witness was close enough to hear all of this, why does the story end there? This sounds like an April Fool’s joke.
Picture note by Celebitchy: Britney is shown at Tracey Ross boutique in Sunset Plaza in LA yesterday, where she needed a police escort to help her through all the photographers. Thanks to WENN.
I was going to say it sounds like someone at the restaurant started the rumor for publicity… but I can’t find anything about Katsui restaurant online, other than it’s a TYPE of sushi.
I call it bullsh*t. If Justin Timberlake did call Britney then he is a hypocrite because in one side he seems to criticize Britney in the media and in the other he (or his sources) tells the world how much he cares for her and how concern he is. As always, Justin keeps using Britney like all the others for some little publicity.
even if this “break” is not true, i’m sure he contacted her. you’d have to be dead inside and full of hate to not contact someone you spent your childhood with when that person is clearly suffering from mental illness and about to end up a tragic story. he must have contacted her to at least lend a little support. unless he’s a total jackass – which i guess looking at his recent behaviors — he very well may be.
Yea, something about this def seems fishy…. but I highly doubt Justin needs to use Britney for publicity. Come on now!
Well, maybe Justin does not need that much publicity now but when he started his solo career he surely was not shy in using his relationship with Britney to get all the publicity he could. Even now, there are many occasions were he has taken a stab or two at Britney. Talk about him kicking someone when they are down.
No way – he is too up himself to ever offer an olive branch.
It looks like Justin Timberlake is trying to show that his and Jessica Biel’s love is going well. I do believe he appeared happier with his ex – Cameron Diaz though.
Lucky Justin Timberlake having good seats at last Sunday’s NBA finals. I hoped for tickets however it was $400 for just the worst seats.
