Just as things were starting to look really bleak for Britney Spears (even the AP was drawing up her obit), a savior came down from on high to put the world’s fears at rest—once and for all.

“I think everything's going to be OK,” Paris Hilton said of Ms. Spears.

Ms. Hilton, who spent last weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, sent the singer some saving graces in the form of good old fashioned spin. “She's such a sweet girl when I'm alone with her; she's a completely different person than she's made out to be,” Ms. Hilton, 26, told Us whilst in the majestic climes of Utah's Rocky-Mountain high. But she didn’t stop there. It seems Ms. Hilton really cherishes her friendship with Ms. Spears, 26. “And I love her; I think she's very sweet and has a big heart. She's amazing,” she said, adding: “I just want her to be happy.”
