Britney's not a girl, not yet an X Factor judge

  • April 18, 2012
  • Mikey

In rumours we've heard before news, the usually reliable TMZ.com are reporting that Britney Spears and  US X Factor have agreed on a $15m judging deal.

They say Jason Trawick has been "very involved" in the nego­ti­ation of what is now a "virtual certainty."

The deal will need to be reviewed by Jamie Spears and Britney's con­ser­vat­or­ship judge before final approval is given on the 'Criminal' hitmaker's par­ti­cip­a­tion in the show.

Simon Cowell told the website this week that Britney would be "a fas­cin­at­ing person to sit next to" (poor Nicole) and they'd likely make an announce­ment on judges in a week.
