Pink supports Spears with song

Pink has shocked fans at a Los Angeles show by dedicating a song to beleaguered pop star Britney Spears.

Pink, real name Alecia Moore, played to a sold-out crowd at hotspot Avalon and dedicated Don't Let me Get Me to Spears.

The Get The Party Started star told the audience she had always loved Spears and wanted everyone to send her some "good energy and love because she could use it right now".

Toxic singer Spears has recently been criticised for her mothering skills and teary appearance on US news show Dateline earlier this month.

The crowd reacted by cheering and breaking out in loud bouts of laughter, according to website TMZ.com.

Among the celebrities in the audience were rocker Tommy Lee and Lisa Marie Presley.
