Britney finalising deal this weekend to become XF judge

Quote:

Britney Spears is keen to join the panel of the US X Factor.

The Toxic hitmaker - who suffered a public meltdown in 2007 - thinks it's the "perfect time" to become a judge so she can prove to her fans she has put her troubles behind her.

A friend said: "She's a huge fan of The X Factor and thinks it's the perfect time for her to be a judge. She wants to show her fans she is back to her best and where better to do that than on national TV every week?

"She knows all about the ups and downs of pop fame. And with her schedule relatively clear she has the time to dedicate to a different project."

Show boss Simon Cowell has already axed Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger from the judging panel, but is said to be locked in discussions with Fox producers over who will be given the remaining two spots alongside him and record label boss L.A. Reid.

The insider added to The Sun newspaper: "Britney has had a tough few years but this would put her back at the very top. She would be great for the show and it could be great for her.

"In terms of excitement and intrigue Britney would top them all."

When pressed on speculation that Spears was a possibility, Cowll would only say: "I couldn't comment on it. Are we flattered that there could be interest? Yes. Other than that, there will be a lot of twists and turns over the next few weeks and a lot of things we will announce."

He added: "While we have Idol and The Voice competing against each other, I've learned one lesson - keep your mouth shut and don't give it all away!

"These are the auditions which aren't filmed, these are the open auditions, so we probably don't need to confirm the new judges by then. That will happen over the next few weeks."

However, the 30-year-old singer isn't the only star who is keen to bag a place on the panel of the US 'X Factor', as LeAnn Rimes has also reportedly been meeting with show bosses about the job opportunity.

The Can't Fight The Moonlight hitmaker is said to be in talks with FreemantleMedia North America - the co-producer of 'The X Factor'- and believes she could be the perfect judge after getting her big break on reality show Star Search, PerezHilton.com reports.

Would love this to be true, I think she'd make a great judge. She has a whole lifetime worth of experience in the music industry and she's a huge name who's still a big seller in the US.

There is more chance of Whitney housten being a judge than there is Britney

I could see it happening.

LA Reid. Katy Perry. Britney Spears. Simon Cowell. Hosts: Perez Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Would be amazing

Katy might show up at judges houses
Kim is hated by alot of people so unless they want to not have a 3rd season, she won't be hosting
Perez probably would only want to host by himself, but Simon said he wants a male and female cohosts, so i don't think that's possible (TBH he's semi annoying)

I would rather see the two people that host a morning show on VH1, sure the guy's an aussie but his accent is BARELY noticable and i think they work well with each other (They're going after people with experience probably and have worked together before so they could be a choice)

But even though i would have no problem with Brit as a judge, I feel like Katy Perry would be a fun, bitchy, and yet also serious choice as a judge.

:joker:
"Yeah, I love you"
"That was so totally great"
"I really love the sound of your voice"
"I really loved it"
"Wow, you go girl"

I can see her getting very repetitive within a few minutes. lol

I mean in interviews all she does is give very shallow, meaningless pleasantries that offer nothing insightful so I can't see her being very good on a judging panel.

Cheryl Cole and Danni Minogue were hardly the pinnacle of talent but at least they didn't sound as inanely vacuous and as empty headed as Britney seems to be. They need a feisty judge like Osbourne was, the last panel was dull with nicey nice Scherzinger and Abdul.

Britney won't do it. She's too nice. "Oh my god, you're great!" "I love you!" "Wow!" "I love it!" "It's really good" "I like it!"

that's why it should be Katy Perry

We can only dream :D

I have changed my mind I want to see. La Reid. Katy Perry. Beyonce. Simon Cowell. Beyonce would be better than Britney

That would never happen, she's just had a baby, no way would she be able to make such a huge commitment and Simon confirmed in an interview that they hadn't asked her.

I heard they're in talks with Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas (probably a good choice) and country singer LeAnn Rimes

BUt I also heard that they're looking for a fourth judge on Got Talent and it might be Fergie

Britters would never say "keen" this is a fake story. Americans don't say "keen".

It's not an American article, plus it's not her who says that she is keen.

Expected to be officially announced later today that Britney will be an XF judge :D

So I heard on the radio over here

Oh She's getting paid 10 to 16 million I've heard

I actually think she'd make an awful judge tbh, I can just imagine her boring me to death with her crappy critiques. Her whiny voice would probably make me want to kill her after the second episode of auditions, maybe?

Critiques? It'll be the usual shallow, hollow pleasantries like all of her interviews. I love this, I love that...

will be too nice, but could be a good mentor
