After weeks of rumblings that Simon Cowell was set to fire her from ”The X Factor” because she was deemed too ”boring”, Britney Spears has beaten her boss to the punch by quitting the show.
Spears has reportedly quit “The X Factor” following Season 2, according to TMZ. Sources tell TMZ she loves the show but is working on recording her eighth album and then going on tour.
“Britney loves Simon, she likes Demi Lovato, but her thing is music,” a source tells TMZ.
However, while that source paints a picture that it was Spears desire to concentrate on music that led to her decision not to return to the show, The Hollywood Reporter claims the singer knew she was not going to be invited back.
“Spears was not going to be asked back and so she will not return for season three,” an insider revealed to THR.
The 31-year-old pop said she is “working hard” on a new album in a Twitter Q&A last month and is “excited” about it.
Spears was paid a whopping $15 million for her gig as a judge on the talent show, but Cowell had been banking on getting ”Crazy Britney” not ”Boring Britney”.
The biggest question remains, can any judge save Cowell’s ratings free fall?
