Alli Sims ALLISIMS013108_02.jpg With Britney spears currently confined to the UCLA Medical Center, it's certainly a relief to know that her friends are still looking out for her - like Alli Sims!

We caught Britney's former assistant stopping by UCLA yesterday for a quick visit.

She returned later to drop off some personal items to make the pop princess' stay a little more comfortable - shampoo, clothes, that sort of thing.

Unfortunately, she wasn't able to stay long - she left almost immediately with a sad look on her face.

Alli appeared to be exhausted by the ordeal, politely declining to answer questions about Britney's status.

Thankfully, earlier in the day she loosened her lips long enough to confirm that Brit's doing all right - that's certainly good to hear!
