TROUBLED star Britney Spears has been offered a lifeline from two unusual sources.

First up was Cameron Diaz, who has recently split up with Britney's most famous ex - Justin Timberlake.

Apparently Cam visited Britney in rehab and the two women discussed their relationships with the trousersnake.

Sources say that the visit helped both of the feel better about Justin's rejection.

Cameron has been forced to watch as the newly-single Justin embarked on a series of dates with stars including Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel.

Meanwhile, Ms Spears has also been offered an olive branch by estranged hubby Kevin Federline, who says he still loves his wife and wants to get back with her and rebuild their family.

Britney currently faces the possibility of losing custody of her two children to K-Fed.
