Jamie Spears is determined to spin Justin Timberlake back into the Spears family’s tangled web of dysfunction. Jamie has pestered his daughter Britney’s singing ex into a Summer 2008 meeting with the trouble-prone pop star in hopes that a reunion will further aid her recovery from mental illness.

Jamie has set up a meeting between his daughter and her former Mickey Mouse Club co-star at a low-key summer barbecue, Life & Style Magazine reports.

“Jamie reached out to Justin and asked if he’d be willing to come over to Britney’s house to talk to her face-to-face, and Justin said yes…Jamie’s hoping that by finally seeing him, she’ll be able to get some real closure, some resolution. He thinks that might be a huge help to her.”
