Timbaland reaches out to Britney

Timbaland has seen enough of the disturbing roller-coaster ride that is Britney Spears.

The super-producer behind the success of her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake has gone public with his concerns for her well-being.


"I feel her pain, it really bothers me," the 34-year-old artist says in Entertainment Weekly’s March 16 issue. "I'm the type of person who tries to save the world. I just want to take her away, go overseas, and work (it) out."
Timbaland says he wants Timberlake to be a part of Britney’s musical rehab.
"I asked Justin, 'How would you feel about me working with Britney?' I had to ask him that," Timbaland told the magazine. "I said, 'Would you do it with me?'"

According to Timbaland, Timberlake said he would, but added: "She's just gotta be serious."

Spears, 25, is currently at Promises Malibu drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in California. The rocky road leading to her residence there included two abandoned stays at rehab facilities and an impromptu trip to a hair salon where she shaved herself bald.

"I just want to hold her hand," Timbaland says. "I want her to be in my camp, to be around Justin. I need Justin to talk to her. Help her, please!"
