I feel bad for her, her life is so controlled.

but you have to admit since the court gave control to her parents, she has been much better.. and seems much healthier...

Yes, she had her initial breakdown 5 years ago but any problems that led her to that state aren't gonna vanish overnight. She'll probably battle with her conditions forever. Just goes to show you all that work, fame, success and money at such a young age doesn't always do you any good.

Yes it definitely has, but it doesn't seem like she needs it anymore.

She's clearly stable and on good medication now.

Yeah, I think she's completely stable now. In fact i think they're just there to keep an eye on them in case they snap.

I thought she went crazy because KFed did something.

Most people stopped taking her seriously after the meltdown but I dont see why as she released one of, if not the best album of her career during that time. I hope she makes another album for 2013

I remember that interview she did where she was crying because her life was so controlled and boring.

If anything taking away her independence and treating her like a **** will just make her depressed.

No offense to Nicole Scherzinger or Paula Abdul, but Simon Cowell just scored himself a serious upgrade for his X Factor judging panel. Britney Spears has reportedly signed a contract to appear as a judge on the televised reality show, reports E! Online. Spears signed the deal this week, securing herself $15 million for one season’s work, making her the highest paid judge in reality TV.

“She’s ready for this,” an insider says. “She can’t wait to sit down next to Simon at the judges’ table and give this everything she’s got. She is excited about showing the world that she can do this, and do this well. This is the perfect next stage in her career. Both Britney and Simon are very excited to work together.” We’re just excited at the possibility of Britney finally being able to fully speak her mind, even if it results in not-so-eloquent bon mots.

This will be Britney’s first project in television since her 2005 reality show Britney And Kevin: Chaotic, which lasted only five episodes on UPN. The singer’s fiance Jason Trawick, who was recently appointed her co-conservator, will also be joining the The X Factor has a producer.

Cowell is still looking for a fourth judge to join him, Spears and L.A. Reid on the panel. Both Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato have been mentioned as possible contenders, though neither singer’s reps have confirmed or denied their possible involvement in the show.

I think she'll be good. Hope Demi gets the last spot.

Turns out the deal hadn't been signed but it's now expected to be finalised this weekend with her being officially unveiled as a judge on Monday at the FOX Upfronts in NYC.

Kinda Hoping that the other judge is in by Monday as well, so they can reveal at least the judges
