LOS ANGELES, CA  [Tuesday Apr.17.2007]  /Mix103FM.com/ -- Justin Timberlake recently came to the rescue of Macy Gray when she was left sans producer.

The star was supposed to work with Will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas, but according to teenmusic.com, he had too much on his plate to come through.

Gray said, "Will and I were doing my album, then he got really, really busy with The Black Eyed Peas touring. Then he got really in demand as a producer and had a lot of opportunities he didn't want to turn down."

"So I was kind of forced to work with other people because he was so busy. That is how I ended up going to the studio with Justin; it wasn't in the original plan but it worked out great."
