Britney Spears reportedly won't do 'X Factor' again

1/10/2013

"The X Factor" might soon have a lot less of the star quality it claims, if the rumors are true and Britney Spears is in fact planning to quit her gig on the show. The pop icon landed a very generous contract for a season of judging amateur hour each week, but it's also rumored she's releasing an eighth studio album in 2013. So could it be that she's more interested in furthering her career in reality than in a reality career? Her fellow judge L.A. Reid has confirmed he won't be returning for a third season, though Demi Lovato will probably be clinging like a barnacle to this last vestige of relevancy as long as she can manage. [Source]
