Britney Spears couldn't resist attending Robin Thicke's performance at the House of Blues Thursday night even though the experience was bittersweet. Brit has long harbored a crush on Robin - back in 2004 she reportedly was seen with him a few times, looking affectionate. (This was before she met Kevin Federline.) No romance developed but she admitted she was very fond of him and would like to have gotten to know him better. Robin's happily married now, so Britney's just another fan with a backstage pass.

Robin Thicke drew a celebrity heavy crowd at the House of Blues last night. Halle Berry came with her boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and her mother. Britney Spears was expected to show up but she didn't for a change. Wilmer Valderrama was digging the music. Bobby Brown was reportedly by himself and "out of his mind" (too many drinks?) and "dancing around and acting stupid." The audience really got their money's worth - 50 Cent surprised everyone when he jumped onstage and performed with Thicke.
