"Cue the &amp;quot;I Love Rock &amp;apos;n Roll&amp;quot; road trip tunes! Britney Spears thanked her former Crossroads costar Zoe Saldana for defending her recent auto-tune controversy via Twitter on Monday, Aug. 4. Better yet, the &amp;quot;Ooh La La&amp;quot; singer jokingly teased about a sequel for their 2002 coming-of-age film!\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;.@zoesaldana Truly the sweetest, thx 4 the kind words. Nothing but great memories of working w u. Crossroads pt 2? ;),&amp;quot; Spears, 32, tweeted. She also posted a cute throwback GIF of the gals dancing in the road trip scene with fellow costar, Orange Is the New Black&amp;apos;s Taryn Manning.\r\n\r\nSaldana, 36, came to Spears&amp;apos; defense during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on July 31. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m pretty sure that 80 percent of our musical artists would be mortified if they were caught singing without auto-tune,&amp;quot; she said of Spears, whose unedited version of &amp;quot;Alien&amp;quot; was leaked last month.&amp;#xA0; \r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I have a huge amount of respect for Britney Spears,&amp;quot; the pregnant Guardians of the Galaxy actress continued. &amp;quot;And I&amp;apos;ve always said this, and I will always continue to say it: She was the one big, big celebrity that I met when I was starting to work in Hollywood who was humble, and whatever was going on in her mind or in her world, it was never about hating her neighbor.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;She was the only pop star at that time&amp;#x2014;and I can name a lot of prominent figures right now that today are more famous than Britney that literally got to where they&amp;apos;re at by hating on Britney a lot,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;Because it was cool at one time to really just diss her. And Britney never did that.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSaldana&amp;apos;s response was appreciated by another famous Spears as well. Spears&amp;apos; younger sister Jamie Lynn (who played the child version of Spears&amp;apos; character Lucy) responded to Saldana&amp;apos;s kind words by posting several clips of her WWHL interview via Instagram on Aug. 3. Older sister Britney retweeted the video."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
