The 32-year-old pop diva's name was brought up when a caller asked Zoe what she thought of the recent leaked version of her 2013 song Alien sans auto-tune.

'That's mean,' Zoe said of the leak.
'I'm pretty sure that 80 percent of our musical artists would be mortified if they were caught singing without auto-tune.'
The Rosemary's Baby starlet added: 'She was the only pop star at that time - and I can name a lot of prominent figures right now that today are more famous than Britney - that literally got to where they were at by hating on Britney a lot. Because it was cool at one time to really just diss her. And Britney never did that.'
