Britney forced to take a pay cut to stay on X-Factor?
Quote:
The chances of Britney returning as a judge on X-Factor next season are looking slimmer by the day.
"Producers were hoping to pull in between 15-20 million viewers but the show hasn’t reached those expectations and in a recent episode that clashed with the World Series only 5.7 million watched," a show insider tells RadarOnline.com. "Those numbers add up to cost cutting and Britney will be expendable."
"Britney, who was signed on a one-year deal, is the first person who will be expected to have her salary chopped. She is on a $15 million contract, which is absurd given that there's been no huge surge in the ratings."
"Problem is, when Britney signed that contract she expected to make more if an extension for a third season was agreed. That won’t be the case now, and it is highly unlikely Britney will accept a pay decrease,” the insider revealed.
"It just doesn't make sense to spend all that money on Britney when Simon Cowell will undoubtedly be able to find another high-profile judge to replace her at a fraction of the cost."
Do you think Britney will be back for season two? Why would Brit stay if they don't give her more money and why would they give her more money when the ratings keep falling?
