LOS ANGELES, CA  [Thursday Feb.22.2007]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- Evanescence's Amy Lee and "My Love" singer Justin Timberlake are the latest stars to speak out on Britney Spears' behalf.

Amy Lee came to the pop star's aid after a video popped up on YouTube poking fun at Brit. Seems that Strat, the video's creator, ruffled Lee's feathers by using an Evanescence song.

At the EvClub forums, Amy Lee wrote, "OK, hold on a second. I have to post that I in NO WAY am going to endorse any kind of Britney bashing after everything she's been through. I can't control what people put on YouTube or anywhere else on the internet, but I would NEVER want my picture or our music connected to something that's based on getting enjoyment out of someone's pain. I know what it's like to feel manipulated, used and helpless - so do most of you, that's why you're here - and by now I know what it's like to feel like your entire life is open to the world for judgement. I don't read tabloids and I don't care about celebrity, but it is impossible to escape the whole world just loving to watch her suffer. Remember that this is a human being we're talking about - and who wants to be like those horrible people that have hurt you to feel better about themselves? 'Everybody's Fool' is about the fact that the whole celebrity thing is fake and empty. I think Britney Spears is more aware of that now than anyone. I'm not trying to burn you at the stake, Strat, but it would mean alot to me if you'd take your clip down. Love, Amy. P.S.- tabloids are dumb. don't buy them."

Spears' ex Justin Timberlake also has come to the singer's defense. He told MTV, going into rehab "was a smart choice, she is starting over, cleaning herself up. It was something you wouldn't expect most people to do, so she is taking a chance."

Unfortunately, Britney left Promises rehab centre in LA less than 24 hours after checking in.
