Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst said that despite his recent outpourings of affection for Britney Spears, her life is too “out of control” for him to date her.

Durst posted several romantic messages on his band’s Web site last month about the pop singer, such as, “I have never felt this way.”

The 32-year-old said that when he met Spears, he thought, “Wow, this is just a very sweet Southern girl, just simple, you know, Southern girl,” he told “Access Hollywood” for an interview airing Monday.
