Hip-hop star Fabolous is helping Britney Spears get her pop career back on track - he's recorded a song for her forthcoming album. The Trade It All rapper was recently called into the studio to record his part of the song, but admits he was a little disappointed when he found out Spears wasn't going to be attending the session herself.

He tells MTV.com, "I didn't get to kick it with (Spears), but the people from her record label was on top of that..."

And after all her personal troubles at the start of 2008, Fabolous hopes she will soon be back to her best: "I don't know what condition Britney is in right now. Hopefully - more power to her - she'll get in a better space and position. Somebody needs to sit her down, let her know what the deal is."

Spears has since returned to work for the first time since her mental breakdowns in January - on Monday she was spotted at Hollywood's Alleycat Recording Studio, the same day her cameo appearance on How I Met Your Mother aired on CBS to glowing reviews.
