Lance Bass thinks pal Justin Timberlake should help Britney Spears through her current struggle.

“Justin could really help,” Bass told Usmagazine.com.

Bass thinks his former ‘NSYNC bandmate – who dated Spears for four years ending in 2002 – should join an extended support system to aid Spears, currently dealing with severe bipolar disorder and a legal fight with her parents after a week in the psych ward of the UCLA Medical Center.

“I hope that she gets good people back in her life,” he told Us. “It would be nice to see those old and familiar faces from back in the day back in her life.”

“Hopefully this is as low as it will go,” he added. “She will definitely get the help that she needs.”

Spears was released from the UCLA Medical Center on Wednesday after being involuntarily committed to treatment for bipolar disorder on January 31. She had been expected to remain hospitalized for another 10 days.
