Hollywood has Britney on the brain.

"I'm glad she's seeking help now," Spears' old pal Lance Bass told Planet Gossip's Matt Donnelly at last night's Vanity Fair Amped party at Hollywood hot spot Boulevard3. "I'm very disappointed she dropped out [of rehab] twice. I'm pretty sure she's in to stay now."

Natalie Cole definitely knows a thing or two about rehab. She detailed her battle with substance abuse in her memoir, Angels on My Shoulder. "She needs a lot of love and a lot of counseling," she said. "And her children! Obviously, the ability of her being a mother is very difficult. She needs her mother. I have to pray for her. I feel very bad."

Meanwhile, Whitney Houston's estranged husband, Bobby Brown, said he's in talks for another round of reality television. But forget the old title, Being Bobby Brown. He said, "It's just Bobby Brown now!"

The night was hosted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and featured a four-song set from Macy Gray and the M. Gray Music Academy, which offers affordable after-school and weekend music programs for L.A.-area youths. Also there were Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, Kevin Connolly, Stacy Keibler and Chris Brown.
