Report: Britney Will Get Fired From X-Factor
Quote:
Looks like Britney Spears' X Factor gig will be a one-and-done kind of deal.
As the new issue of Us Weekly reveals, the "Hold It Against Me" singer is on her way out as a judge for Fox's hit reality competition, which wrapped its second season on Dec. 20.
"Britney will get the boot," an insider tells Hot Stuff of the pop star, who joined the show in May, along with fellow newcomer Demi Lovato. "Producers wanted her for the long haul, but it isn't working."
One reason? Spears' $15 million contract, which sources say the low-energy mentor hasn't earned. "They paid all that for her to say 'amazing' and offer half-claps," a second insider tells Us.
Adds a third source of show co-creator Simon Cowell, who is leading the charge to axe the performer: "He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney."
Spears' firing would be the latest in a long line of departures over the show's short lifespan. In the space of just two seasons, the series has lost or let go of Paula Abdul, Nicole Scherzinger, Cheryl Cole and -- most recently -- L.A. Reid, who announced his decision to leave earlier this month.
Spears is likely next on the chopping block, but Cowell, 53, hasn't always had it out for her. During a conference call in October, he told reporters that she had been "a lot better than everybody thought...She's very engaged...She has been, I think, a very, very good judge."
Alas, their professional relationship seems to have soured some, as has the singer's personal relationship with fiance Jason Trawick. Sources tell Us that the mom to Preston, 7, and Jayden, 6, has been increasingly butting heads with her beau.
"They are pulling away from each other," a pal explains to Us. "Unless things change, they will split for good."

I love Brit, but X-Factor definitely didn't work out for her. I knew they wouldn't want to keep her on.

They honestly need to stop changing.......
They should end X factor US, it was a bad idea from the start. We already have AI and The Voice.

How can she get fired if she signed only a one-year deal?

To get fired wouldn't she actually WANT to rejoin the panel and wouldn't she have actually signed a 2 season deal? 
After seeing her on the show every week, It's clear that Britney doesn't give a **** about X Factor. She's about to start a brand new era next year anyway so I could care less.

false. Fake. Close thread.
She can't be fired. She only signed a one season contract.

She has a clause in her contract for additional years, and in every red carpet interview she said she'd be interested in doing another year. What the report basically means is that they don't want her for another year even if she would be interested.
