Brit Brit Gets A Visitor

In the middle of all the madness... court dates, paparazzi and partying Britney had an old friend Lance Bass stop by to see her last night.

"I saw her last night," Bass, 28, told PEOPLE on Thursday at a Los Angeles signing of his new memoir, Out of Sync. "I went over to the house. It was great," he said. "I went over to see the kids, and you can tell she's really trying so hard to get herself back in order."

Bass writes in his autobiography that Spears, 25, was instrumental in his decision to speak out about his sexuality. "She was one of the first people that I came out to. We grew up together, basically. She was the first opening act that we had," he said at the signing, "and she was dating Justin [Timberlake, his bandmate]. We'll always have that family vibe between us."
