Britney "very close" to rehab buddy

As reported earlier today, Britney Spears has grown "very close" with 33-year-old guitarist Jason Filyaw during her stay in rehab. Spears's new guy spoke to TMZ today but would neither confirm nor deny the pair's relationship, instead saying, "I love her, I support her 100% and we are close." Filyaw says he met the popstar before her recent stint at Promises, saying they go "way back" to 2003. The two reportedly did some recording at NYC's Hit Factory and stayed in touch until "a few weeks ago...we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting."
