Source: Britney Spears out of 'X Factor'
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A person familiar with plans for Fox's "The X Factor" says Britney Spears is out of the show.
Spears was a mentor on the singing contest for one season, reportedly drawing a $15 million paycheck but failing to pull reviews to match. The person who confirmed reports of her departure wasn't authorized to comment publicly, speaking Thursday on condition of anonymity.
The person said that over the holidays, producers discussed replacements for Spears and for another "X Factor" panelist, record executive Antonio "L.A." Reid. Reid previously announced he would leave the show after two seasons.
It's yet another shake-up for "The X Factor," Simon Cowell's attempt to strike magic with a U.S. version of his successful U.K. series. Cowell replaced panelists Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger after a disappointing first season.
I can't believe this crap of a show is still on air.Â
I need a job where I have a 15 million dollar paycheck.Â
 @Just my say Just become a talentless hack, the media loves that.Â
who effin cares about all these non-talent, narcissistic "celebrities"?????? Â What has she - or any of them - done for the good of humankind???
Oh... she is cross eyed.
I guess that will be some quiet exit - I don't think anybody watches that show...
I guess Simon and Britney broke up. Â
She was a mentor on the show?   Who told her she could sing??  Â
Â
good it's a crap show anyway. I'm sure she will go back to what she does best lip syncing and shacking her old flabby butt.
