"It's kind of true," says Sims. "I drove up there for a minute because I had to go to another party [nearby]...I just talked to her for a second."

In the only on-camera she has given in months, Sims told E! News at the People magazine pre-Grammy party that Britney is "doing well and everything's going to be okay, and I love her to death and she knows everybody is rooting for her."

Sims is optimistic that Britney will "get back to normal and balance out."
