Back when I would do the "Bye Bye Bye" dance in my living room -- and N'Sync was the most happening boy band since New Kids on the Block -- member Joey Fatone was always my favorite. When everyone else was swooning over the pubescent Justin Timberlake and J.C. Chasez, I was alone in my Joey-lovin' bliss. Now I know my instincts are good.

Joey, who scored a gig as The Singing Bee host, has sent a message out to his old pal Britney Spears. "Britney, call me, come over to my house, come to Orlando, get away from it all," he told Extra. "It's a good thing to get out of L.A."

The former boy-bander and Brit bonded when they went out on tour together, back in the day, and Brit was dating Justin. And like I always thought, Joey is just a good guy. "I think she just needs some time, some time to really heal," he said of Brit. "If you're there, let me know. I'm here for you, sweetheart."

Swoon. I just hope she doesn't take him up on it and ruin his life in the process -- 'cause then Britney will have me to deal with.
